Why do i continously make bad choices regarding women? / she walks in, stoned, like me, like everyone in this house / She sit’s down asks for a light / In a stoners house it’s a rare comodity / She talks about what’s on tv / it’s tueday / nerd tuesday / I say / She doesn’t know what nerd tuesday is / I make up some story like it’s an ancient tradition / “The inca’s used to smoke pipes and watch numbers on tueday nights” I say / She volcanoes the bong, water spills everywhere / we go out for nearly a year, then i have to go to rehab.

Well I’m a little late to the party, but as they say better late then never right ? I had the pleasure of a Red Bubble Calendar arriving to my work on Friday. Sadly I wasn’t at work on Friday I on the final day of a four day highly stimulating VMware training course (I did say this was a Nerds verdict). Below is a homage to Dave, his hat and his calendar pic. Thankfully my wife also works at the same company and kindly opened my parcel and relayed via email that it was very cool, and that our co-workers were impressed, hard not to be with the brilliant works of James Pierce on display. I finally got my first glimpse of the calendar as I piled into our car on a Friday night road trip to Batemans Bay, and I was impressed. The calendar has a professional look and feel to it, the images are gorgeous and for a starting price of $20 AUD that is awesome value for money. If you do the maths, that is 13 images at $20 that is just over 1.50 per image, that is cheaper then Red Bubble cards and I thought they were the bargain of the century, I stand corrected ladies and gentleman the RB calendars are the new cards, a must buy especially with Christmas just around the corner. I’ve already noticed (just got back from our sojourn to Batemans Bay) but a number of great reviews have already been posted, here , here and here Here is the front page of the calendar, this is on a thicker paper and looks and feels great, I do think that perhaps the Artists name should appear on the cover from a marketing perspective. / / / Not wanting to rehash the other reviews too much here are the vital statistic, the calendars are A3 size which is 297mm x 420mm or 11.7in x 16.5in for our imperial readers. Doing a few nerd like measurements and calculations I’ve estimated the maximum image height to be 245mm and the maximum width 275mm, this of course varies depending on the aspect ratio and orientation of the image. It does mean for the most common 3×2 image ratio you will have some whitespace, but it feels well balanced. (see below) / / / The binder and the loop thingamajig are solidly constructed and definitely up to a years worth of hard use, as is the nice thick paper used. I purposely was rough with my copy, just chucking it into the boot with all our junk, and it came out fine at the other end of our journey. / / Well in an effort to keep this short and sweet (and picture laden), overall I’m very impressed with the calendar, and I’m sure it will be a great seller. It’s a great product, it’s value for money, if the artist’s name is included in the front I think the package would be complete. At the bottom corner there is a URL to the artist’s portfolio. / / The week starts with Sunday (I’m glad they kept this format). / / The image Title and Artist name are shown above the calendar and below the image. / / Another sample image. / I’m sorry for the image quality, I wasn’t using a calibrated monitor.

Hello fellow Bubblers. I hope your Christmas and new years were enjoyed. Just writing to warn all of you out there with a web site for your creative endeavors to beware. My website mikoto.com.au got hacked into and I have spent the last 3 days rebuilding it from scratch. The cyber nerds got into my site with apparent ease using a brute force attack and then diverted all the traffic to some other destination. I have learn’t that you need to make your passwords over 20 letters, numbers and symbols or it can easily get picked by the ‘bots’. It was a timely hack though that I used to revamp my website with some fun new images and functionality. To read the long version of this story goto mikoto.com.au

Firstly, many appy loggies for my relative absence from the bubble sphere recently. I’ve been working a retail management job that was a little bit nuts over Christmas, and am changing jobs yet again soon. Also the Back Alley Atelier exhibition has taken up a little bit of time. If you are in Melbourne please check it out and sign the guest book. One bubbler who did come all the way from the Blue Mountains NSW (not just for us, but still special) was gentleman, scholar and fine photographer “Andrew “The Boz Bosman . When he asked if I would like to show him the back alleys of Melbourne, I said “Sweet, I’ll round up some peeps, meet us under the clocks at Flinders St” (or words to that effect). So last Saturday we braved heat that only mad dogs and photographers would. The peeps: / Mark German / Stephen Colquitt / John Robb / Adrian Carmody / Hien Nguyen / Allen Lau The pics: / Cameras are effin’ tough – yeah / Strut / If it has a pulse, shoot it / Take a load off / Showing Boz the pristine bits of Melbourne / Stephen is centred / I got Mark from behind in a mirror / Photographic edumacation / We sent Boz down a dead end / And he ran in to some shady characters / Who said some stuff / We shot random ladies in frocks / The shadows got long and we were getting thirsty / And the Boz looked baffled It was all about love and lens nerds.

Well, the Yashica didn’t work out, so I decided to wind the clock back another few decades It’s an English box camera from the 1940s. A Houghton Ensign Ful-View. I am going to make a neutral filter for it tomorrow so that it doesn’t wash out every darn photo with modern film, then it’s ready to go. The wonderful Jess and I will have our sip ‘n snap adventure soon, and all the results (for good an bad) will be inflicted on everyone through my journal Isn’t it awesome? It just screams use me!

This weekend saw the sale of an original Lenny’s Motorcycles T-shirt to a mystery buyer. Previously, this range of T-shirts was only available to a small, elite group of selected individuals. / Now they have been unleashed on the general public, we feel that a wider warning is necessary. !!! THESE T-SHIRTS ARE A POWERFUL APHRODISIAC !!! This warning is specifically aimed at Geeks, Nerds and any other cosmetic-wearing soft-cock males. Make no mistake. By wearing a shirt from this range, you are entering a level of cool normally reserved for the higher echelons of rock and movie stardom. In a pre-PC world you would now be known as a “pussy-magnet” with a stronger attraction than any known pheremone. / You are now set to attract the type of women that you may never take home to meet Mother. The style and bad-boy chic that you now posess will attract the type of insatiable lust that you have only read about in comics. So be prepared four-eyes. Strap on some new runners, pop some heavy duty prophylactics into the rucksack, (preferably Red ribbed rough-riders for her pleasure) and tell Mum you won’t be home tonight. That’s right Tristan, a different kind of WOW for you tonight. You’re leaving the club early and sleeping over……without pyjamas. As a further warning, if any of these wild women produce handcuffs or any other similar restraining devices, run for your life! Our team has identified a devious group of sociopathic women who lure wearers of our T-shirts with the promise of some playful bondage. Once the victim is firmly secured these evil creatures steal the T-shirts using that trick girls do where they take off their bras without removing their top. They then make their getaway, leaving the victim unsatisfied and humiliated in his ridiculous boxer shorts. Such is the desire for an original Lenny’s Motorcycles T-shirt that this type of twisted, extreme behaviour is common. (It must be said that the girls do look fabulous in the entire range, available in standard, v-neck or girly fitted) / Are you ready for this geek-boy? You have been warned. !!! These shirts must be worn with extreme caution !!!

NARCISSISTS, NERDS AND NUTTERS What has the internet ever done for us? The other day I was surfing a poetry site when I came upon this extraordinary passage of purple prose posted in the comments section: ‘Blood only longs for two assholes / To experience the double pleasure / Of dual sodomy and heaven’s golden ladder / Of pee pee filling his pink bag.’ That’s the trouble with the internet. It’s often hard to tell whether you’re on a poetry or a porn site. Speaking of which, when we first went online in 1999, curiosity got the better of me and I wandered onto a couple of porn sites. My wife soon found out and I never did it again, but those two visits supplied me with enough shocking images to haunt my days and nights for years to come. What amazes me is the participating women with their big toes tucked seductively behind their ears who make no attempt to hide their faces. (Even prostitutes preserve a certain privacy and anonymity). Someone must know them: their family, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, neighbours. I’ve been scanning the faces of the check-out girls in our local Tesco’s but I haven’t recognized anybody yet, probably because most of this stuff comes from America. It is estimated that there are around a million women staffing the sex industry in the United States. A vast proportion of the World Wide Web is now given over to pornography, perversion and paedophilia. Sir Tim Berners Lee, the British inventor of the internet must be spinning in his swivel chair. Then there are the so-called suicide sites. Last year in Bridgend, Wales, near to where we live in Swansea, about two dozen young people hanged themselves. Bridgend is an absolutely typical Welsh town. The only thing they had in common was that they were almost all members of social networking sites like Bebo. They even had their own slang for suicide such as ‘checking out’ or ‘catching the bus’. The Bridgend police have tried hard to persuade the public that there is no correlation between the deaths but they are fooling no one. A number of people around the world have even killed themselves whilst actually online, their personal webcams solemnly recording their last moments on planet earth. The extent to which the internet contributes to this phenomenon remains a moot point. On the positive side, the World Wide Web allows artists, writers and poets (like me) to get our work into the public domain. Given that these days, British publishers only publish people who are already famous, this advantage is not to be underestimated. I’ll never forget a female poetry editor who once rejected my work on the grounds that I ‘wasn’t famous enough.’ If you never publish unknown writers then they never get the chance to become famous. This simple thought is way too sophisticated for most British publishers. Does having your work online help you to become published in other media? I would have to answer in the negative although it certainly helps you to become plagiarised. The struggling writer or poet basically has two choices: give your work away on the internet or keep it in the drawer. Scylla and Charybdis; The devil or the deep blue sea. The same day I unearthed the bizarre quote about the pink bag, I also took a look at a teenage girl’s poetry blog. The poetry was dire but what struck me more was the total absence of grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation. That is the thing about the internet. It is almost too democratic. On the credit side, it allows struggling artists, writers and poets to get their work online. On the debit side it attracts hopeless illiterates from every continent like a magnet. I noticed that Sir Tim Berners Lee recently chaired a conference on the future of the World Wide Web. My response is that ‘It’s far too late, mate. Pandora’s box is wide open and her jar is well and truly broken.’ I personally think that much more work needs to be done on the global impact of the internet. It is the most profound social change for a century and we still haven’t even begun properly to understand it. Copyright Simon R. Gladdish 2009

After seeing the community post on light painting yesterday, I thought I’d throw up some of the work I have been doing with LEDs. It’s actually for a stop motion film idea I have, except it’s going to take until 2046 to complete, I expect, so to feel like something is being achieved I have made some colourful wavy stills to please the occipital. I recommend this as a way to pass dark winter evenings. / / / / / / / / /
