First project with Illustrator CS5. Now I’m going to learn how to make a gang of vector ninjas.

I am reblogging this for “Social Media Expert Expert,” which I am interpreting as “someone who well knows ‘Social Media Experts’ and their habits.” Which might explain the firearm the guy’s holding, AMIRIGHT?

Pancakes in Macadamia Nut Sauce | Hawaii (by Nicole Lee)

I still dream about this occasionally. Ugh, need to return to Hawaii soon.

Same goes for me. I don’t dream about the pancakes, but this photo is reminding me of that breakfast we shared, Nicole, and I want to repeat it.

Although the past year has been frustrating to liberals and libertarians on many levels, one exception is in the increasing willingness of governments around the world to recognize same-sex marriage, as Argentina determined to do yesterday. There are now about 250 million people worldwide living in jurisdictions which provide for marriage equity, as this colorful chart will help to demonstrate.

Asian American web magazine AARisings interviewed me when I was a 24-year old blogger, nine years ago. They interviewed me again as a 33-year old blogger.

Yay for Ernie!

Not intended to perform Queen’s song, but it keeps pace and synchronizes with it. And keep an eye on the backgrounds.

Preview: Fable 3 | Joystiq:

Cannot cannot cannot wait for this game. In Fable 2, not only were queer people represented matter-of-factly, but included one quest that involved helping a guy come out to his father, which was only available if you had performed heroic, good deeds earlier in the game… leaving little room for interpreting helping folks to be honest about their sexuality as anything but noble. (And Dad turns out to be cool with it, even chastising himself for not seeing it sooner.)

“The writer/performer, Ivan Doroschuk, has explained that “The Safety Dance” is a protest against bouncers stopping dancers pogoing to 1980s New Wave music in clubs when Disco was dying and New Wave was up and coming. New Wave dancing, especially pogoing, was different from Disco dancing, because it was done individually instead of with partners and involved holding the torso rigid and thrashing about. To uninformed bystanders this could look dangerous, especially if pogoers accidentally bounced into one another (the more deliberately violent evolution of pogoing is slam dancing). The bouncers didn’t like pogoing so they would tell pogoers to stop or be kicked out of the club. Thus, the song is a protest and a call for freedom of expression. It has been claimed that the meaning of the song can be found in similarities between “Safety Dance” and “Safe to dance”. Other lyrics in the song include references to the way pogoing looked to bouncers, especially “And you can act real rude and totally removed/And I can act like an imbecile”.”

Heidi: it has just occurred to me that I have no idea what "safety dance" means
Jason: It means going down the road in renaissance clothing and occasionally making an "S" in the style of YMCA
Heidi: whoah this video is awesome
Heidi: the original?
Jason: yes
Jason: they'll do it
Jason: you'll see it
Heidi: it's about the REN FAIRE?
Heidi: FOR REAL
Heidi: NO WAY NO WAY
Jason: no it's about people in England dressed in renaissance stylee
Jason: that's not the fair that's FOR REAL ENGLAND
Heidi: um, there's a dwarf
Heidi: and a pony?
Heidi: are we watching the same video?
Jason: Damn it Heidi, horses and dwarves exist outside of the renaissance fair
Heidi: how is it "safe"?
Heidi: it's about the may pole?
Heidi: and JESTERS?
Heidi: man I love that video
Heidi: but, also "a protest against bouncers stopping dancers pogoing to 1980s New Wave music"
Jason: Okay, that part you've lost me on.
Jason: so the Safety Dance was commentary about people pogoing?
Jason: and what bouncers would do?
Heidi: yes
Jason: huh
Heidi: bouncers didn't like the dance style
Heidi: they thought it was unsafe
Heidi: they kicked out the new wave kids
Heidi: of course, later pogo'ing became slam dancing
Heidi: so they weren't really wrong
Jason: I would think pogo is more about the vertical and slam is more about the horizontal
