Our New Slime Mold Masters

Pretty interesting story about how crazy Japanese scientists tapped the untamed fear of slime molds to remote control a six-legged robot. Awesome. This can be so handy!

Drawerings (Part 2): "Color Me Badd"

Here's another bunch of drawerings I posted to DrawMeSomething after they finally added a color pallette. Some go all the way back to November and the last one I just drew today. At some point, they also updated the flash drawing app to incorporate some simple tools like lines, circles, and holy fucking shit an ERASER!!! I actually drew a bunch more that I didn't post here because I can't find where Mr. DrawHimSomething archived them. No big deal though... most of them are probably just pictures of people taking a shit.
By the way, you'll notice some of the pictures look really grainy and fucked-up... apparently when you save your picture on the website it converts it to a heavily-compressed jpeg. After I realized this, I started taking screenshots of my drawerings before saving, so i'd have a nice copy in case the jpeg compression messed my picture up too bad. That's why some of the drawerings are much better quality than others... image quality i mean...

Drawerings (Part 1)

Lately instead of drawing pictures for this blog like i am supposed to, I have been drawing pictures on a stupid website called DrawMeSomething. Basicly there is a flash drawing program that tells you to "draw a bike" or "draw your family." Often, it tells you to draw fruit. It sounds gay, and it is, but it can be very entertaining when youre bored at work. Anyway here are some of the drawerings I made. This bunch below were made back when the website only had a one-color (black) pallette and no eraser! It was hard as balls to draw anything... sometimes the picture turned out completely different from how i thought because i had to cover up my fuck-ups to make it look like shading or extra limbs or whatever. Anyway, some of them are real crappy, some i tried to do all nice, some dont make any sense or are just weird doodles, and as always... some are about poop. Can you guess which one?

Hello -

I would like to say something about HTML tags, and why they suck so much horse cock. I spent hours trying to figure out why my stupid little popup window pictures werent working within the table i made for the pictures in this post... (the window was popping up but the problem was that the main window was also linking to the jpg)... and anyway i finally just figured out the answer. The answer is... i used the wrong KIND of quotation mark. that's right... i didnt leave one out... if that had been the problem, i wouldve smacked myself on the forehead and said d'oh, i shouldve thought of that. but no, the problem was that there is a certain kind of quote that looks like this: “
a certain one that looks like this: ”
and another that looks like this: "
see the difference? no well neither did fucking i !!!
i could only tell from pasting it back and forth into notepad... anyway piece of shit HTML, suck my ass... thank you.
