The College of Rock and Roll Knowledge with Shep Gordon and 3 others
26 years ago today, on Feb. 24, 1988, Alice Cooper announced that he was going to run for Governor of the state of Arizona. He was running as a member of the “Wild” party as a write in candidate.
He even had a campaign slogan: “Alice Cooper – A troubled man for troubled times.”
If you prefer your references to cigars on ice and surfboard surfborts in cartoon emoji form, today is your lucky day. Artist Jesse Hill has created an unofficial music video for Beyonce’s smash hit “Drunk in Love” made entirely from emojis. The 12-year-old in all of us will also be happy to see that the eggplant emoji gets some time to shine during references to… well, you get it. –Samantha Rollins
It’s been so cold the last few days, I’ve spent a lot of time indoors futzing on the computer. Yesterday, I learned the difference between files and libraries in Windows 7! And between sorting and grouping. This has major implications on my massive digital photo archive.
Dreary Me
While distracting myself from sorting and grouping, I also learned a few new tricks in Picasa, the free photo editing and organizing program from Google. Just for the fun of it, I transformed an otherwise dreary photo into an eye catching masterpiece of color, expression, and mood. It’s of myself, btw.
This particular piece de resistance was created using the duotone feature, and the comic book feature in editing tools. It’s titled “Self Portrait In Winter Blues”.

Tea time again already? Grab a bunch of pillows, fire up some incense, candles, and what ever else you like to fire up. Set this to play, sit back, relax, and enjoy! The music is soothing, and the visuals are lush.
All Things Elephant
Ever since visiting Thailand back in 2005, I have fallen in love with elephants. All things elephants. Even though this is Hindu, the Thais have Ganesha trinkets and statues everywhere. He is the God that takes away all your worries, and brings you happiness, wealth, and pleasure. Emphasis on pleasure.
Namaste.
Your Wish Is Amazon’s Command
Ok, now that you’re worry free and blessed with health and wealth, why not take advantage and buy yourself something you’ve been wishing for all along? This Amazon widget is an experiment, it supposedly already knows what you want based on your shopping history, combined with what it knows about my site and this post. Scary huh? Don’t worry you can opt out of Amazon’s watchful eye in your account preferences, of if you already have, or never visited, you’ll just see boring irrelevant products.
