The INSIDE OUT Art Project Makes the Scene In the Inner Sunset

A few days back, this caught my eye as I gazed out the window of the N Judah on my way to work...

I'm pretty sure the M-thing wasn't part of the original picture...

The link listed in the bottom right corner didn't really work. But, it did lead to the INSIDE OUT art project.

...a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Upload a portrait. Receive a poster. Paste it for the world to see.

You can send pics of you pasting said poster for the world to see to the website as well.

It's the brainchild of JR, this year's winner of the TED Prize.

Someone uploaded a pic of this lil tyke to the INSIDE OUT website; Got a poster made; And then pasted it on the wall near the N Judah stop on 9th Ave & Irving.

And then someone added a weird M tattoo. (a dick move, I think. But, I'm an old fuddy-duddy).

I hope, in my own small way, I'm contributing to the global audience.

Ducks in the Carport or Any Port In A Storm

Last Saturday, a mallard duck & 2 drakes decided to hang out in our carport. I assume they were taking a break from their Stow Lake gig in Golden Gate Park.


Normally, that wouldn't be a problem. But, Donna had to go to work.

So, I cowboyed up and herded them lil doggies to safety...



I went back upstairs and watched them through the window. They putzed around for a few more minutes. Eventually, one of the drakes looked up with a sort of "Yeeeah. Ok. Let's fly... THIS WAY!" look and they all took off.

Godspeed, my web-footed friends. I hope you made it home ok.

The Sleestak Hunter Gallery presents: Pon Farr Monthly

I was also known as JedimasterElvis.

A long time ago, I spent waaay too much time in the forums of a website called Television Without Pity.

I participated in the 'Pixel Challenges'. You'd create a picture based on some TV-themed idea the moderators came up with. Most of the time, my TWoP screen-name was Sleestak Hunter.

I think the theme of this challenge was: "A TV character creates a magazine".

I picked a secondary Vulcan character from Star Trek Voyager* and, well, I think the results speak for themselves.

NOTE: The more you know about Star Trek and its various franchises, the funnier this will be. So, you may just want to bail now.

Just click on the pic for a better view.








* According to a forum commenter at the time, his name wasn't Taurik. Or I was confusing the name with a similar character he played on one of the other Trek shows. It doesn't really matter, though.

Outer Sunset Sidewalks: Going Medieval On Irving Street

I've role-played & rolled dice enough times to know this is a morning-star. Or, rather, an image of a morning-star...
