oooh Look it!

This is our friend Bruce. He has a nice art beard.

Alan White. The Rob Roy of Web Designers.

Read his fighting talk at the Highland Fling - The conference for web standards in Scotland, here

Alan looking a bit like a hippie. But he is high on web excellence, man.

Take a look at his blog. This is a man who has made the beautiful web* his vocation in a true spiritual sense. I think he is a visionary, a good person. Inspiring.

The web is beautiful. It’s beautiful in the way that the Universe is or that atoms are.

Newark Art Show - Dave’s Loft

Light Dave Fantasy Art

We went out and saw a performance in Newark on Friday night. We met a new friend named Dave. He has has a cool band Zed Never

We also saw a performance called “The Mother of Rabbits” by Sarah Kipp. It was a poignant spoken word piece describing the primal urge to motherhood and the mothering of small rabbits. She projects slides of her family and other people onto her face creating a spooky mask effect.

Dave’s loft was in the middle of Newark, which is seemingly abandoned. It was cool. Here look an early painting by Ella Guru!

Mom or Not Mom 

Venice in Peril

If you work at Adam’s old company and you are in Venice and now you love Venice you should marry it.

 And you Venice lovers should be aware that strange classical music robots like playing music there and also that Pizza Express do a nice pizza called the Veneziana which has capers, onions, pine nuts and sultanas on it, and that Pizza Express give a discretionary 25 pence from each pizza sold to help the “Venice in Peril” charity and other projects throughout the UK.

You in Venice

As you can see in the photograph above, Venice indeed looks in peril here. This photograph was actually taken recently, in the 1980’s. The Evilers are  bombarding the city with lazer beams of pain and destructor rays of pretty pink and yellow stars. Luckily the classical musicians of “Rondo Veneziano” are there to save little Mark Wong. With their brocade dresses and shiny metal no-faces, they will play the music that makes everything all nice again.      

Also if a beautiful “lady” who looks like this asks you to go for a little “swim” DON’T!

Your new girlfriend

“She” is in fact Farinelli, the famous Castrati who died in 1782. Although you may imagine glamour and jewels would bedrip you if you were on the arm of this shrill beauty, A little “swim” with this ghostly singer (who has the voice of an angel, but alas, the vanity of a diva) would end up with you throwing yourself into the canal of the dead, where doomed souls swim in eternal misery and dampness forever.  

Are you suffering from a hangover?

Well, are you? If you are I feel very sorry for you. I have had very many hangovers and I know how horrible it can be. Try to replace your electrolytes, get some codeine, and take lots of vitamin B. If it’s really bad, sugary drinks can give you temporary respite. A hangover? I feel for you…that is…unless…you are in Venice. In that case you are a jerk.

Guy with Hangover

See this guy? He has a hangover and is obviously not in Venice therefore I feel a bit sorry for him

drunkenstein

See this guy. He is probably hungover today BUT he is also in Venice. Therefore pity = 0.

You Are Going to Venice. I am going to Metropark.

All the people I used to work with are going to Venice today for two days. I am going to my cubicle in Edison, near the Metropark train station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Venice, you are a jerk. 

 Venice is Full of Jerks

Look these people. Are you one of them or are you also in Venice?
Well.. guess what? You are a jerk!
