"I like that I stick out. I was watching “Valentine’s Day” on the plane recently. I have a tiny part in that movie. I was watching all the women — Jessica Biel, and Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. They are gorgeous women, and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but they all do have a very classical look, with a very thin nose. I’m watching this parade of these faces and then, boom, it was my face, and I was taken aback. I was like, “Oh, my nose is so big!” I have never in my life thought I had a big nose, but, well, there it was.
The first time I was on TV, on “Flight of the Conchords,” someone put up a YouTube clip and said, “You’re too ugly to be on TV.” And I was like, “That is exactly why it’s a good thing that I’m on TV.” - Kristen Schaal, goddess
"I want to be a ballerina."
“What’s going to be the best part about being a ballerina?”
“Spinning.”
These are the nicest docs pages I’ve seen in a while. Simple and informative.
This could be useful for a more accessible take on MOTU Artist’s page. Notice how activities are naming user tasks in a way and name-dropping at the same time. You get a better feeling for what’s possible with immediate credibility. So instead of, here’s the Pink Floyd producer, name what specifically he does with MOTU products and back that with the fact that he’s the Pink Floyd producer.
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
If one believes Homer, Sisyphus was the wisest…

"It’s important to forgive."
“What have you had the hardest time forgiving?”
“I’m not sure.”
“When have you most needed forgiveness?”
“Not sure about that either. I’m not talking about anything big, really. I’m talking about all the small things that need forgiveness. Stuff with your brothers and sisters and friends. Forgiveness keeps relationships moving. Without forgiveness, everything comes to an end.”

That doesn’t sound like a free pass. It sounds like you confronted a stranger really peacefully about hate speech that’s become so ingrained in him it’s habit. That took a lot of courage.
I was at an intersection in Davis Square around 4:15 when an older white man next to me stepped into the crosswalk and into oncoming traffic, all against the right-turn light. He nearly got hit by a turning car, so he flipped off the lady in the driver’s seat and shouted, “Fuck you!” She pointed…

Maya Angelou doing a little reading in her dressing room before her performance at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Long before she was a poet and writer and the icon we know today, Dr. Angelou was a dancer and singer of folk and calypso songs (she even recorded an album in 1957 called “Miss Calypso” and appeared in the film “Calypso Heat Wave” that same year.

Fade in effect.
Dark on both the top and bottom.
Aphex Twin’s cover for Ambient Works looks a lot like utthita parsvottanasana.
Nice illustrator project idea…
Gardnar Mulloy turned 100! We went to his birthday!

I wonder what it’s like to have a news article written about your entire life every time you have a birthday.
so these are ways to zoom in on photos and also do carrousel without the terrible side arrows. ugh so tired of those arrows.

So this is an interesting way to record.

it’s that time of year again when my hair is driving me crazy.

Seriously the best FAQ I’ve ever seen.
Also noticed that the sticky nav that’s the same color makes it feel less obtrusive.
"there is no expectation that people can enjoy, engage, or value something directly, especially art, religion, politics— the expectation is that we need an intermediary, an “expert”, someone who really understands these things. T-Mobile is offering you the chance not to experience art more directly— which they know is impossible and anyway not that important to anyone— but to become that intermediary, to derive identity from that role.”

Lou and I played music together, became best friends and then soul mates, traveled, listened to and criticized each other’s work, studied things together (butterfly hunting, meditation, kayaking). We made up ridiculous jokes; stopped smoking 20 times; fought; learned to hold our breath underwater; went to Africa; sang opera in elevators; made friends with unlikely people; followed each other on tour when we could; got a sweet piano-playing dog; shared a house that was separate from our own places; protected and loved each other. We were always seeing a lot of art and music and plays and shows, and I watched as he loved and appreciated other artists and musicians. He was always so generous. He knew how hard it was to do. We loved our life in the West Village and our friends; and in all, we did the best we could do.
Like many couples, we each constructed ways to be – strategies, and sometimes compromises, that would enable us to be part of a pair. Sometimes we lost a bit more than we were able to give, or gave up way too much, or felt abandoned. Sometimes we got really angry. But even when I was mad, I was never bored. We learned to forgive each other. And somehow, for 21 years, we tangled our minds and hearts together.
It was spring in 2008 when I was walking down a road in California feeling sorry for myself and talking on my cell with Lou. “There are so many things I’ve never done that I wanted to do,” I said.
"Like what?"
"You know, I never learned German, I never studied physics, I never got married."
"Why don’t we get married?" he asked. "I’ll meet you halfway. I’ll come to Colorado. How about tomorrow?"
"Um – don’t you think tomorrow is too soon?"
"No, I don’t."
some serious beatles influence in this one.
Some ethio jazz sounds at the end!
An article on how to achieve Medium’s next page transition effects, an effect that can be seen by clicking anywhere on the âRead Nextâ footer at the bottom of the page. This effect is characterized by the lower article easing upward as the current article fades up and out.
Helen Mirren, quoted in Esquire’s “What I’ve Learned” (via aquilum)
I had exactly this thought, so great to be validated by Helen Mirren :.)
all via css3 transitions.
This scroll effect is not annoying because you always feel in control. Unlike the apple scroll effects, as a user you’re not merely beginning the animation, you control the entire pace of it. For this reason it’s important for it to be continuous (as opposed to taking a continuous scroll wheel and mapping it to discretized steps, as with many sites).
The graphics also invite the user to make their screen bigger. Which is a cool side-effect as well.

marti’s secret project was announced today…
also my parents did kitchens for decades.
I remember reading Roald Dahl’s memoir, when I was 10 or 12. He wrote about having a motorbike and riding it around disguised when he was in school.
“I never told anyone, not even my best friend…I had learnt even at that tender age that there are no secrets unless you keep them to yourself, and this was the greatest secret I had ever had to keep in my life so far.”
I’ve thought about that line often through the years. Having a true secret has always seemed like a coming of age. A real big kid thing to do.
The first cashmere sweater I owned was dusty sugar pink, and I wore it so a boy I liked would want to put his arms around me. I imagined us at the pub, his hand resting with ownership on my soft shoulder. I was 15 and had yet to understand boys or see “ownership” as a rather…

You need 6 ingredients to record and play back voice and keyboard at home:
[…]
- A Computer. […]
- Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software […]
- A good-quality microphone and an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. […] I’d get an A/D converter with all of the following inputs: MIDI, 1/4” stereo, and XLR. Hey, look at that, I already did. [MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid]. Then get a decent-sounding microphone […]
music blocks oh yeahhhh
Imagine, for example, dumping a container full of M-Blocks on an empty lot, then sending a signal for them to self-assemble into a house. Or imagine telling your couch, which is made of M-Blocks, to divide itself into three chairs instead, or transform into a bunk bed to accommodate some surprise house guests.
