One more day to the week's end

[silveradept]

Today was an interesting day. Work, more work, a conversation with annaonthemoon about life in Ann Arbor and the interesting things to do here, and lots of good, stimulating conversation on many other subjects. uncle_pervy, we need to talk about transport arrangements. And, of course, a parade of links.

Life imitates art. Should do a few more. Maybe "The Scream?"

Scholars for 9/11 Truth member's children threatened - and another of the members is having his professorial position reviewed to ensure he's not forcing his views on the students. There are some very deranged people in this world. Anyone who would stoop low enough to threaten children over a piece of writing deserves a long walk of a short pier, and a deep crevasse to drop into. Those who imprison a blogger for 140 days without charging him, letting him talk to a lawyer or his family also deserve a special place in hell. The people who leaked the CIA agent's name are being sued in court today, although we doubt that will go anywhere.

Well, there is one thing that unites Jerusalem's religious leaders - anti-gay sentiment. Amazing what will draw people together... kind of like the campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.

These days, perestroika apparently hasn't done enough, as the Russian television news is still holding on to the ghosts of Soviet past.

More fuel for the stem-cell fire - at least in rats, sperm made from embryonic stem cells can be used to produce offspring. Will that also mean that we can start growing ourselves? If that happens, though, how do we do the wetware transfer?

Guy draws manga-style entirely in Photoshop. Quite good at capturing the style, too. This is either an endorsement for finding your own style or showing how easy it is to make the style, right? Nevermind the practice that I'm sure this guy's gone through...

Yet again, somehow I manage to get a female result. Either the universe is trying to tell me something, or this is going to be a long string of coincidences. Guess I should just admit that I'm going to be a guy who acts like a girl most of his life.

The photo recreating the painting is neat. I read somehwere recently that the painting recreated there is like the most copied or imitated piece of art going. That suprised me, which is why I remember it.

Recreating Rembrandts would be easier than trying to do a Munch though.

Yeah, that was from a link from silveradept's post yesterday.

[greyweirdo.livejournal.com]

That's it. Thank you.

[silveradept]

That's a pretty neat coincidence, that I'd have an article that mentions the painting, and then a totally separate article that has the painting in it. I couldn't have planned it any better.

i tend to be an even split, and I've never figured it out.

Well, two boys and two tomboys is generally the standard. I guess I just happen to be the most girly boy.

[annaonthemoon.livejournal.com]

you're not a girly boy, you're just in touch with your feminine side ;)

[2dlife.livejournal.com]

You're not a girly boy ... you just have those mysterious things called FEELINGS.

[silveradept]

Feelings? You mean, something other than stoic calm and muderous rage channeled into sport?

It's both scary and amusing when you get to this point in the Nir Rosen article:

But at some point an analyst realized that Ayoub was not a terrorist intent on obtaining weapons; he turned out to be a kid playing video games and talking about them with his friend on the phone.


And, damn, that Gez Fry guy has no life. XD I think anyone could get good at art if they locked themselves in their rooms for two years being supported by their mothers. ;p It's pretty much all practice. *rolls eyes*
