Here comes some technology for you to have fun learning about and also some art.
I like to take cool pictures that are neat with my Android phone and inside the phone there’s the Vignette App and it lives in the phone and makes your pictures have different ways they can become pictures.
One of the ways is a setting that is called “Action Movie” which for sure is the one for me and this is how it works. First I did a button push to make this picture have its birthday.
It seemed pretty good but then I put the dial on the Action Movie setting and it transformered the picture a little, and then even more it gobotted the picture and then here’s what I got.
This guy isn’t getting his cap sunburned either – keep those glasses on!
Also here is one with the Romance setting.
The 23 is for Michael Jordan and how he is a real-deal alpha dawg with courage about how to make his legacy appear.
This is a little sneak preview of my proposed re-do on my shoulder tattoo.
I got it – it was done – it didn’t hurt that bad. The guy who did it thought I was nuts.
This preview you’re looking at was not done in Photoshop, but in some Android app that makes your picture into either olde-tymey or Warhol or whatever you want to do.
It’s not perfect, but you can do interesting things with your phone on the go? LOL!
So you may remember something happened to the Cavs that made them have a 2010 loss for their Playoffs.
I’ve written like six posts on this and never published any of them – the torment and angst were just a little too negative for the website blog. (It’s broadband now – click the link.)
Luckily, I owed a favor to Cleveland Frowns dot com – if you’ve been wondering what my CLE-based (LeBron) basketball thoughts were made of, it’s all right here, in classic YAYsports! NBA style.
Also, I’ve finally zeroed in on one book to write – I’ve started like three this year, but none got past a third of the way done. (I did consider putting out all three thirds as some kind of gimmick book about thirds of books.)
One of them decided it wanted to get done, though. Here’s an excerpt piece that’s part of it.
This was the truth, and Jesi knew it was crazy and whack to tell the truth right then, but he was crunk and never lied. He was just like James K. Polk, who was a great President. Maybe even the best one, so think on that one.
It made me think while writing this post English is maybe not for me anymore?
Good-bye until the next time a blog post is new for you.
This post was heavily edited – it used to be like 7-800 words. That’s seven (7) to eight hundred (800).
mmh : /
Okay, so this is my first post from the WordPress app on the Google Nexus One Excitement Phone, so bear with me.
I’ve been meaning to try this for awhile but only now got around to it.
That last sentence seemed awkward.
So did that one.
It’s kinda hard to write like this – everything feels like it should be Tweet-length from the phone, plus my hands hurt from playing Home Run Battle 3-D all night on this.
Cavs in 5 – that pic is a tease at the shoulder tattoo fix.
It was Sunday night, and I was trying to think about what I was gonna do my important blogging about in the morning.
Nothing was really coming to mind, so I looked in the DRAFTS thing in WordPress to see what I had.
Here’s everything:
What Ever Happened To madpropstobakedpotatoes.com
What PTSA Also Stands For
On Being Deceptively Muscular
I Watch Sober House Every Week Now
My Final Word on LeBron to the Knicks
TurtleCalls.com
Is LeBron Pregnant -
I Murdered Someone With My Car LOL
Good Guy Dictators
Bruce’s Yams Returns
The Monopoly Movie
The Leg Tattoo
None of those are striking me, although they’re all things I still want to touch on.
The last one reminds me I need to go get my shoulder tattoo maladjusted. Maybe I should do that this week, so it’s fresh for the fun summertime and the big election.
I wish I could tell you what I was working on right now so you could have some heart attacks.
Might be on another social media break soon. : /
(This picture is a special sneak preview of the post you’re about to read.)
I already mentioned what follows on a podcast I did with old tyme Roundie Henchman Ben Cox, but it bears repeating.
Basically, my biggest fear about the Playoffs, Free Agency 2010, and LeBron.
It’s not losing. We of Cleveland fandom have done it before, in the most heartbreaking ways possible.
Nor is it LeBron leaving, win or lose. I’m at peace with that.
If it happens, it’s because he wants to live somewhere else, and nothing can stop that. The Cavs organization is first class in every way and the best basketball situation, as well.
This fear is not even the Cavs winning the title, and the unsettling loss of identity that will accompany it.
No, my biggest fear is the combination of the Cavs winning and the city going completely overboard in terms of celebration and honors.
I don’t mean riots or parades – those will be fun and I’ll be flying in for them.
I’m talking about putting up LeBron statues immediately, retiring #23 when he switches to #6, renaming roads and buildings after him, etc.
Please wait until he retires.
With the dearth of joy around CLE’s other sports teams, the general inexperience with winning, and the “we must romance him for free agency” factor…it’s scary.
Don’t forget, this is the city that allowed Jacob’s Field to have “Era of Champions” on the outfield wall to celebrate the multiple Central Division titles.
(If you need the full 45 minutes of podcasting action – they cut all my turtlecalls.com talk – you can get that here.)
(Here’s Zack K’s Dick Vitale Fathead action, as well as Zack himself, enhancing that action by also doing some hand-and-smile action of his own.
What’s interesting is all the monster truck Fatheads they already had in the office, and how those monster trucks drive around on the walls on their own – click to see full size.)
If you didn’t watch the Cavaliers-Celtics game yesterday, I don’t know how much sense this will make.
Short version is the Cavs – after a huge comeback – were down two with very little time left.
In a dream scenario, LeBron James suddenly had a 1-on-2 fast break.
Now, having watched 95% of LeBron’s career games, I can tell you that when LeBron is trucking along in this situation, there are only three results:
1) They wrap him up and foul him, sending him to the foul line.
2) They try to wrap him up and foul him, but LeBron drags them along, scores, and gets the foul.
3) They get out of the way and LeBron scores.
As you may note, provided he doesn’t inexplicably pull up for an ill-advised three-pointer, there was a 100% chance LeBron could’ve had a chance to tie that game up or even go ahead.
Of course, instead he pulled up for the inexplicable three. Scary stuff.
Hey, all of these are available if you want to start a bad schtick-laden sports blog:
lebronforthree.com
ohgodlebron.com
whylebronwhy.com
lebronjamesshirtless.com
nolebronno.com
I’m not sure about that last one, since it’s so open to confusion with No LeBronno!, the popular children’s cooking show from New Mexico.
As to LebronShirtless.com, I get regular daily traffic off people looking for some variation of “LeBron shirtless”, so you may just want to get that and then make a website and become popular.
I don’t remember my point.
I did more Twitter action last night than I probably have in the past two weeks put together.
The whole health care reform reaction/discussion – which many people hashtagged with #hcr – was going crazy.
My thoughts were swirling around and I too had to get them out.
In lieu of many people’s hyperbolic statements about either freedom, America, history, or Communism, I had some of these thoughts.
I won’t know for sure how I feel about #hcr until Beyonce makes her statement.
@Streakerdude2 I didn’t even know this was going on until like an hour ago lol
Why do they bang that gavel lololol
Is Biden crying or tired – he’s the Vice President right?
It occurs to me that if the Cavs win it all & LeBron leaves, it’ll be a true Cleveland moment, wherein we can’t even enjoy our one title.
Does everyone get free thermometers lol
Also, that guy in the picture was in the background of the CNN broadcast I turned on.
He was either exhausted or drunk, but one thing I know is he’ll be my lasting impression of this Health Care Victory Crisis 2010.
That’s the one absolute certainty here, by the way – everyone must make absolute judgement on whether this works or not by NOON TODAY.
If you read my old website or saw my movie, you know I have an extensive history with the product known as Fatheads.
I lived the full cycle of not comprehending their purpose to putting a much-beloved LeBron James Fathead on my bedroom wall.
Another thing you may know is that I haven’t looked at an NCAA Tourney bracket in like three years.
Throw all this into a blender and the result is clear – I’m giving away Dick Vitale Fatheads starting right now.
If you don’t know what a Fathead is, it’s basically a bold, life-sized wall graphic or “reusable wall hanging”.
It’s big, it’s sticks to your wall, and then like if you rearrange your futniture, you can take it off the wall and put it other places.
When I say other places, I mean like the hood of your car, your boss’s office, the company bathroom, your roommate’s wall, you could wrap it around yourself, put it where it shouldn’t be, etc, et al, furthermore. (The car scenario is where my personal LeBron Fathead finally bit the dust.)
This is pretty much what I want you to do – tell me what you’ll do with it, and then I’ll get the Fathead sent to you right away.
After that, you do the thing you said you were going to do, with photographic and/or video evidence. Then I’ll put it on the internet so we can feel nice and exciting together, sharing your special activity with the world.
Just send me an email, or post in the comments, or hit me on Twitter, or whatever.
There might also be free WSM? DVDs in this for someone(s) if I feel like it – also, I’m trying to get Fathead to let me give away that chair and towel in the picture.
