NATIONAL DONUT DAY 2015

Well, years have passed since we were last all together for Digital Domain Donut Day - but I'd like to think that on days like today, we all sit back and remember the powdered puffs our pixelated pals provided.

Obviously Digital Domain is gone - soon to be replaced by a church. This gave me an idea. Why not make Donut Day not just a national holiday, but a spiritual one?  We celebrate a multitude of spiritual holidays - ALL IN DECEMBER! Why not have one mid-year?

On All-Donut's Eve, you could prepare the unleavened treats and reflect. That bit in the middle that's missing is symbolic of the small piece of all of us we seek our entire lives. That little thing that we lack.  The missing pastry is people, of course - your friends and family you love, but you've forgotten about since the previous serious of pastry packed holidays*!

So what does that mean? Well, firstly, every other holiday has a meal - Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Seder all of dinners. Easter often has a brunch - but there is no BREAKFAST HOLIDAY.

This is shameful, America. Pastries are your Passion. From Chocolate Pies to Cream Puffs, foodstuffs are what make the world round. And happy!

The only thing the holiday needs is a mascot. A glorious, glorious mascot that can be made into donut shaped delights - a dough-iety.  And nothing would work better than a doughnasaur!

T-Rex Twists! Raptor Claws! Jurassic Jam! Powdered Plesiosaur**!


So you'd wake up early, and you'd find a delicious donut, buried in the croissant-and-cookie-crust, and you'd unearth the Edmontosaurus*** Eclair and the Jurassic Jelly!

All of this would be served with Hot Coffee, Hot Chocolate, and milk - and all foods, served on that day, would be torus shaped!

Now we need cards, donut-shaped gift boxes (large enough to hold both Mezozoic Munchkins and the greatest of all donuts, the giant BrontoTorus.)

Where is it internet?  Digital Domain: Make some magic again!

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time

Spanish for Donut

I'm BACK!  After several weeks of long, long hours at a fun, but unfortunately short term position, I have returned to my roots! Unfortunately, I can't tell you where I was working, not because of the project I was working on - because the position I had (special kind of Production Assistant based around intellectual property security). I CAN tell you that it was in Miami. And I learned some things there.  Something important and breakfast related.  Churros. Those are delicious. It's like a single donut stick - a Mexican donut-saber.  It's an oddly long and amazingly delicious treat. Churros are served hot - the outside is awesomely crispy, covered in a stardust-type sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and the inside is a melty, doughy blend of amazing deliciousness. You should go get one of these right now, for two reasons.  Firstly, because based on their addictive nature, I have to at least guess that somewhere in that cinnamon sugar mix is crystal meth or some other
