Matt Stallings Art Exhibition Opens Friday December 11th

afterthebombpopped

This December, Subtext invites you to come experience a post nuclear world of skewed reality by San Diego’s own Matt Stallings. In After the Bomb Popped, Stallings has conceived an altered world where candy and popsicles have come to life. Icons of pop culture are turned upside down and inside out. Michael Jackson has become a monkey, Mickey Mouse is now a pig, polar bears are hunted for their Icee juice, — there’s even a chocolate Jesus. For his first solo exhibition at Subtext, Matt (interviewed here)has created an all but normal body of pop surrealism at it’s finest.

Online Privacy…

privacyHere is something that concerns us all, reported by NY Times’ Media Decoder blog:  the Federal Trade Commission has initiated its first in a series of Exploring Privacy roundtable discussions in Washington D.C.  What’s that?  Seems to be a “fact finding mission” to uncover current data collection practices in social networking, cloud computing, online behavioral advertising and mobile marketing. They are examining tactical changes and PR initiatives, looking into whether or not our rights to privacy are being usurped or violated.

We will be following the presented facts and the FTC’s findings.

Trends and the Meta-trend

hp-pavilion-tx2000-convertible-tablet-laptop

We’ve been noticing this a lot lately:  Internets users seeking our those trends happening right now on the web, in the real world, and in one’s backyard.  We’re part of that crowd over here – we try out best to keep on top of not only today’s trends, but tomorrow’s.

Google is well aware of this need, and has launched a series of advances in real-time, mobile and social-related (intelligent) search that integrate query results with real-time content from across cyberspace

This is how it works… READ MORE

Matt Stallings all up in Sezio and, this Friday, After the Bomb Popped at Subtext

sezio matt stallings

First we went to Subtext’s blog to check out their word on Matt’s solo show, After the Bomb Popped, opening this Friday. They linked to his feature at Sezio.org, where Justin Skeesuck, Sean Kelley, Subtext’s Dylan Jones, and Don Hollis all ask Matt some questions. Then I looked up at the header of the Sezio.org site, and staring back at me is the same goat that is on the wall right behind my head. READ MORE

Link Focus Causing You to Lose Focus?

lose focus

I don’t know when this started being a problem, but for some time now, certain web browsers have been showing the dotted line around links that you click/mousedown on. Usually that is fine, but sometimes, like with navigational links, the dotted line can really make for an eyesore. Luckily, it takes just a bit of CSS to clean it all up. READ MORE

Taking Pictures

chaos

What Else Are You Going To Do At Dawn When There’s No Surf? I guess I’ll go take pictures of the Mission Beach roller coaster. The lighting was right, I had my camera with me and some time to kill. I’ve been keeping my camera by my side more since my recent purchase of a Nikon D40 SLR. As much as I design in photoshop, I’ve also been using it to subtly manipulate some of the shots I take. I’ve been playing with the washed out vintage effect and found a nice tutorial on how to achieve it. Thank you to ISO50 who posted photos by Jonathan Mutch who was kind enough to comment a little on his process of achieving a vintage effect using photoshop.
