dwkazzieSo You Want to Write a Novel

Do you think they will let me direct the movie version of my book?

This hurts. Whether from laughing or crying I can’t tell.

Words, a video poem

By Nico on Tuesday the 23rd of November, 2010 at 12:25 pm


WORDS from Everynone on Vimeo.

Directed by Daniel Mercadante and Will Hoffman with a score by Keith Kenniff, Words is called a video poem, collage, and also seems to be an exercise in word association.

It’s a neat idea, and very well executed.

Spotted on BoingBoing.

Ninjabread cookie cutters

Ninjabread

Ninjabread

I saw this on ThinkGeek, and how could I not want them?

They’re officially called Ninjabread Men Cookie Cutters, though there’s nothing particularly manly about them. I think they could easily serve as gender neutral breads if one so desired.(1)

Rational: I bake excellent cookies, so this would be far more useful than either the Titanium Spork, or LOLMagnetz, or the Jolly Roger Toast Stamp, or…well, pretty much anything else in their kitchen section.(2)

Alas, they are sold out, scheduled to return in mid-December.

But, hey! Now you know what to get me for Agnostica!

Footnotes:


  1. And I so desire. []
  2. Though the Labcutter Science Cookie Cutters are also kind of cool. []
