Took photographs of Chicago.

And well, I guess, that’s all. See you next year?

Go Read My Reflections on Thing-a-Day

Jason Das — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 03:05:13 +0000

I guess I could reword and repost it here, but why don’t you just head over to my own blog and read my little re-cap and requiem for Thing-a-Day 2008. And you can find out what the hell this thing is:

Thanks for a great month, everyone!

This is dated the 29th, but it is actually my thing for the 28th (it was just after midnight when I put the date in I guess). We get one more last one tomorrow.

The house of God isn’t doing so well up in Oakland y’all. But the liquor store a few doors over is full.

The rare lost poster artwork from the 1972 Bollywood remake of Masculin Féminin.

Sunday Evening at Outpost

Jason Das — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:39 +0000

I created a short visit to Outpost for the express purpose of making this drawing, but the soy latte was a pretty sweet bonus. And I’ll take pretty much any excuse to visit Outpost.

seeing as I missed 4 days here’s a quick bonus- margaret in blue

thrown into a crappy old frame and looking as pensive as can be about it.

Day 22: The Bow Tie

mithril — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 07:35:26 +0000

It’s inappropriate to attend black tie affairs as an international man of mystery without a black tie outfit, of course. And it’s very important that one wear a self-tied bow tie of a material matching the jacket lapels, I believe. So, today I learned how to tie a bow tie. Had I been attending an actual black tie event, I would have shaved, first, of course.

Spying on YOU

longtimegeek — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:30:16 +0000

With the theme of spying, I decided to check out you all. I wanted to be nosy about how well the group was doing on posting. It started as just a check on day 18 of what the distribution was of people who have posted a given number of times. Then I decided that posting that might be sending the message that if you didn’t post every day you were behind or something - especially since in browsing the post I would see a lot of multiple thing posted in one post. So, this is a snapshot in time to see how the numbers changed over two checks four days apart. It is moving — even people with 3 or 4 posts are still with us — cool.

Birthday Party!

Jason Das — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 08:27:38 +0000

For February 21st, I threw myself a birthday party. I documented it poorly … probably a couple dozen folks (including me) weren’t photographed, and those that were were photographed poorly. Oh well. It was great, you had to be there, thanks to everyone who was, and extra crazy special thanks to Isa for making all kinds of wonderful food and Olivia for baking the cake!

A Number of Things for Today..

at-smith — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:31:48 +0000

Sometimes a hawk will fly by my office window. If I’m lucky the hawk lands on a branch and stare at me typing, coding, slacking. When I look into the eye of the hawk it seems to have a purity no human can possesses.

This is a fun gif of my friend Andrew. Don’t worry! This was a rotten piece of wood and the tree was not hurt.

Finally I made this as an art piece. Questions about life, aging and finding happiness.

My Right Hand

Jason Das — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 05:34:37 +0000

As drawn by the left. I can’t remember ever drawing with my left hand before. It’s kind of creepy and I kind of want to do more of it.

NYC Photos

Sarah Michael — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:28:38 +0000

I am in NYC this week - spent some time with my camera today in the subway and got this cool, low-light shot of a girl coming through the subway grate.

More Magritte tomorrow…

A cool dark place

longtimegeek — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:58:37 +0000

I found these hyacinth bulbs on markdown because it is now too late to get them to bloom for Easter. Since that date holds no significance for me - I made them a cool dark place where they can get started on some roots. I know this is very little, and is not very ‘creative’ but, it will require a thing-a-day commitment of opening them and checking to see if they have the water they need and so I am counting this as participating in the work of creating the flowers which will result and which would not have resulted if left to wither in the store.

They will bloom long after this adventure is over so I will not be able to post their pictures then.

Day 18: Not a plot line so much as a drawing?

thefabricator — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:53:24 +0000

I have an idea, for a video. I won’t speak too loudly about it quite yet, I don’t want to scare it away :-)
It’s about the way people effect each other, and the operation/expectations of the omniscient narrator.
Innocence, honesty, hardness, exploitation, stupidity, curiosity, awareness.

Some inspiration:
Rules of Attraction- The general flow of people
Wristcutters (a love story)- The simultaneously attractive/dismal dream state
Even Midgets Started Small- Isolation, the study of a fringe population
Gummo- ditto
Achewood (an online comic)- Paranoia, self awareness, the aspect of audience and preformance

(PS: It really does fit into all the categories I checked, I’m not lyin!)

Day 18: Ghosts signs (more of them)

Djinn — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:24:26 +0000

Today was lovely and sunny, so I decided to spend as much time outside as possible to boost those all-important serotonin levels. So, I went ghost sign collecting, the results of which I have posted to my Ghost Sign project online album:

At a local bar with waiter on hand and nearby conversations. I was actually sitting on a stool but I think I look better crouched in the corner.

Day 15

QCast Michael — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 05:24:32 +0000

I made this prop Interpol I.D. badge (which was to be folded and put into a lanyard) for a character I was supposed to play tonight. At the last minute, however, I was asked to switch roles with another actor, so I didn’t get to wear it. He did, tho, so at least it made its debut tonight after all.
