Holy crap, I had no idea until this morning that “a nonlethal jerk” is an anagram of my full name. That seems about right.

The Renegade Craft Fair is returning to Brooklyn June 14 & 15. While most of the vendors are “a whole lot of the same stuff” that a DIYer could do oneself, my friend Michelle is trekking all the way from San Francisco to be there with her Postcard Machine (possibly from the future). While I have yet to see it in action in person, the reviews have been spectacular, and I can only hope she makes enough coin to have a wonderful stay in NYC. Please go! And pray for sun.

The flattened mountains project (still a work in progress) has been added to the site. Photographs of mountains are computationally altered to flatten the mountains’ elevations, while an ocean horizon is altered to mimic the mountain’s original topography.

While doing a search for “changing clothes” in Flickr today, I came across my third Doppelgänger. Here are the images that I found to be the most similar:

I’d like to congratulate my mom for making geeksugar’s Favorite Geeky Craft of 2007! It was a hard-fought battle against the Tetris quilt, but Princess Peach came out on top. What a way to start out the new year.

Last night I was checking out the latest in age progression, and found that EMEGA Imaging Limited has released a web version of their April Age Progression software, which I’ve been meaning to check out. So, here are some results.

I made this Flash Mii Avatar of myself at work today. Apparently I did a good job… and apparently I look like an egg-headed dork. Sigh.

Keetra created this Simpsons version of me using the avatar creator on the Simpsons’ movie site. According to her, “those ARE Jonathan’s eyes”. Hmmm. At least the Carhartt Tan is correct, though I have no green shirts.

In other news, I thought the movie was really enjoyable. Not amazing, but I thought it was going to be a stinker and it wasn’t. It was just a really good long episode. The only complaint is that it didn’t feature enough of the secondary characters, but then, it would have been a 10 hour movie.

The Daily Photo Project video will be showing as a part of a group exhibition Past (Present) Future at Laurence Miller Gallery (20 West 57th St, NY). Check it out at a size slightly more impressive than the online version. The show runs from July 9th through August 16th. Unfortunately, there is no reception.
