Art of the How-To Video Art of the How-To Video Do you encounter useless Flash intros to company websites? Of course you do. Do you have a product or service that you'd like to explain on your website? Of course you do. Then you should take a look at how Start Cooking explains its recipes with stop-action photography that's more impressive than an Flash intro I've seen. Say, for example, you wanted to learn how to make teriyaki beef from a Japanese recipe passed down through the ages. Then watch this video debut of my culinary career.

By Theory
Transformus is the fruition of the ideas of many people, and continues to evolve each year as more become involved... and it will continue to evolve well past that, we hope. Transformus is defined by what the community makes it. That said, it did come from somewhere. Here's that story, in brief. In the fall of 2003 a few good souls started meeting and planning a festival based on ideas brought home from an arts festival they went to in the desert, the music festival scene, and the progressive conference/workshop circuit. In the spring of 2004, an open call was put out on some email lists, and a diverse group of talent converged on the Deerfields land to walk, talk, and dream about what a place called Mysteria could be. From that meeting, seven people stepped up to the plate and committed to making this thing happen, putting up their personal time, energy, and money to the concept. Those 7 were: Wordplay, ChwDog, Debra, Rhythm, Uncle Jonah, Vic Diesel, & Theory. Since then numerous people have given time, sweat & tears to make Transformus happen.

Whatever the case, it was only days into the exposition before Alpha — maddened with sexual desire — broke out of the Palace of Science in search of the Nudist Queen. He found her in Balboa Park. There, he spent the day pleasing her and her constabulary of bronzed, buxom subjects. The photograph above was taken at the end of that day, and even though Alpha’s creator had never programmed him to feel joy, you can clearly see the curl of a smile somehow suffuse the sparkle-spitting slit of his oblong mechanical mouth. Alpha is the luckiest robot who ever lived.
There's some boobs here, but it ain't porn. Amazing explanation of the robot/neked pic from the 30s. ECTOPLASMOSIS! » Alpha the Robot Meets Zorine, Queen of the Nudists |

1955. A rainbow over the campus of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, seems to end on a row of classic 50s cars. The two-tone '53 Olds is nice, but I wish it wasn't obscuring the red-roofed Merc behind it. Shot by my brother, then a freshman there, on 35mm Kodachrome.
