Yes, it’s silly and unclear and I’m not sure what’s happening or what the joke is supposed to be.

What can I say?  It’s very hot outside!

Sick of/over News Corp.

As the arrests and resignations in the Rupert Murdoch/News Corp. scandal mount, one can’t help wondering (in the midst of one’s disgust) what it was all for. So far a lot of the hacking does not seem to have been conducted in search of true news stories, actual “scoops,” but to have amounted simply to the worst kind of voyeurism and manipulation–peeping tomism at funerals, eavesdropping in an abduction, collecting unfair gossip, and then too, blackmail. No search for a Pulitzer here; craven people making money out of others’ suffering or misfortune or celebrity.

The only political aim I can see is, perhaps, one of distraction. Maybe the goal is to divert people with enough sensation that they will lose the taste and patience for factual analysis.

Hopefully, the tactic has backfired.

How To Draw An Elephant (And Also Procrastinate)

Some people will do just about anything to avoid cleaning their apartment.  (I think, after spending several hours on trying to properly upload some version of the above cartoon, that perhaps I am one of them.)

Or perhaps I am just not cut out to become an online animator.

The drawing part is fun, and, in my rudimentary case, quick; the music is fun; putting them together is fun.   But getting them from your digital device to Youtube can be a real pain in the you-know-what.  Sound gets cut off, drawings get cut off.  And unfortunately, some of us (the same people who delay cleaning the apartment, perhaps) get really impatient with online “answers” to technical questions on twitter forums.

So you have to keep on experimenting, uploading and uploading to get what you wanted or once had on your own little iPas, but somehow somehow cannot make come out in a bigger forum.

The good part is that, soon enough, cleaning the apartment doesn’t sound so bad.

Have a nice weekend.
