I’m doing a render right now of some new stuff for a show that’ll be playing at a local theater (I refuse to say “theatre”) in about 2 weeks. I got the chance to do some skin repair/digital makeup for one of the actors in post, plus some after effects work. I’ll probably post something about all that eventually.

But as I wait, there’s a few things that run through my mind:

1) Why does Google have a huge wing of their company devoted to the US Government and military defense? Seriously- they do.

2) Why are the most popular videos online not the well-crafted ones that tell stories but instead are usually just women jumping up and down or accidentally showing nipple (or both)?

What do these things have to do with each other?

I guess this should keep me busy for awhile, but it won’t. Because, like most of you, I have a very short attention span. And really, isn’t that truly how governments and corporations get away with all the rotten things they do? Just bore me, and I’ll move on. It’s brilliant, really. Too bad it doesn’t work on the personal level. Can you imagine how awesome that would be? I imagine it’d go something like this:

“You horrible gender-neutral person! I can’t believe you sodomized twelve of my goats!”

“Yes, well, have you noticed that the refractive qualities of the splendiforously green foiliage supports over two thousand species of insects? There’s the grasshopper, the ant, the fly (over 12 varieties of those), the common sloth, the…(droning on ad infinitum and yes I’m aware a sloth is not an insect, but again I have a short attention span)”

“Ooo! I see something shiny over there- later!”

And that thought is not really too far out there. After all, there is a variety of goat that, as part of its defense mechanisms, faints.

Maybe this is something Google’s miltary defense division should investigate…
