What use is using an Ipad if you are stuck on the side of the road and can't put on a spare? Or you need to eat something all the resturants are closed and you are stuck at home.
Googling "how to change a tire" or "how to cook *some meat you find in the freezer*"?

Apparently being in motorcycle races doesn't mean you can't rescue livestock from irrigation canals...

Just an exmple of the kind of rants you would get if I ever get my blog up and running:

For some reason this has been irking the hell out of me lately... the lack of "fend for yourself" skills many young people are exhibiting. Now I'm saying you need to know everything about everything to survive in this world but what you can't cook? can't clean? can't change a tire? can't start a fire? can't change a light bulb?
These basic skills are lacking in many 20 somethings I talk to. I think we have to go away from tech skills and work on the basic fundamentals that a generation ago would just be expected that everyone would know. What use is using an Ipad if you are stuck on the side of the road and can't put on a spare? Or you need to eat something all the resturants are closed and you are stuck at home. What do you do starve?
The end of the world is not going to be caused by terrorist, the anti-christ or other apocalyptic figure, or even a financial meltdown, it is going to be caused by our own human laziness and apathy. It will end with a whimper not a bang.

I assume there's a Radiohead fan or two in the audience who could confirm this:

And now, Danger 5, the story of a set of super-spies in a reimagining of World War II that has taken place in the '60s.
Watch the trailer in the "Video" section. It is retro-tastically awesome.

re: Rendering synthetic objects into legacy photos....
I think I'm going to make a video where I just throw actual balls into actual rooms and pretend it's an EVEN BETTER PROGRAM. I can use MS paint to imitate a graphics program interface...

Looking for a translator, eh Beck? You've found one right here. Is it translating into English or into French?
