Okay. So, TCM might be dark for a little bit while there are some children born. WellRest assured that we’ll be returning even more awesome than we were before, and that there are going to be some changes for the better. We’ll explain that upon our return.
Until then, stay away from the LSD, eh?
Consider this guy/group/Youtube Channel my new obsession. The Worst Channel on Youtube is an almost Residents-esque take on a broad assortment of music videos and it’s supremely weird, terrible, and impossible to not love. “Enjoy.” Or something like that:
I’m a pretty unsophisticated guy when it comes to visual arts, artistic beauty, et al, but I know awesome when I see it. This is awesome:

This Donald Duck/Full Metal Jacket mashup is magical, and a hair NSFW.
This post over at Building Cincinnati is kind of a bummer. It looks like Kevin LeMaster is marking the end of the always-stellar Cincinnati development/architecture blog, and that’s a shame. Too, he seems legitimately distressed about the matter, given the tone and timbre of the post:
Unfortunately, economic realities have slapped me in the face and made me realize that this website is no longer viable.
I need to find a position that pays me on a regular basis. I can’t work full days and earn $2.20 an hour, and have intermittent checks. It just doesn’t work for me.
I’ve tried to make it work. I’ve partnered with Cincinnati.com. I’ve sold ads.
Still, I haven’t been able to make ends meet. It’s likely time to move on.
The only way I can continue is for someone to step up and sponsor the site and pay me a reasonable salary.
I’m not certain whether that’s intentional, as I’ve never met Kevin, and I don’t know him at all, but the post comes across like he’s ending things against his own will. There are a lot of considerations to be made with respect to the kind of work he’s done over at BC, especially given the fact that he’s doing hard journalism there, with photos and all, and he’s pretty much doing it by himself. Beyond that, he’s doing journalism on a level that many of the newspaper folks can learn a thing or two from, and he’s doing it on less than a shoestring budget.
In fact, I’m not seeing why the Enquirer hasn’t bitten the bullet and hired the guy. He all but asks for it:
Failing that, please consider this website my online portfolio. I’m entertaining any job ideas, especially work related to writing.
Kevin’s got a built-in readership. Whaddya say, Enquirer?
