I’m Ready to Love it Just a Little More Baby

March 11, 2012

Everybody knows “I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby” is close to the funkiest loop of all time of all time.
And damnit, I’ve never even heard the dope Freddie Foxxx* track that samples the groooooooove** til today.

Barry White – I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby

(Looks like this is the radio cut on account of the 3:51 track time and the abrupt ending)

Freddie Foxxx – I’m Ready

* You rappers can’t be like Fred.

Stephen Gammell Art

February 1, 2012

Holy crap, I think I just finally discovered that artwork that really freaked me out back in grade school. By Stephen Gammell:

Recently, I’ve been content to just think that artwork was from Michael Whelan, on account of this piece:

But, of course, there are always people who can modify anything to absolute greatness:

Waterboarding is Torture

November 5, 2007

I’ve been hearing a lot about waterboarding as a possible method of torture, but I’ve never really been clear as to what waterboarding really entails. After reading a bit of waterboarding.org, I can say that it certainly looks like torture to me.

New York DOT Unveils Sidewalk Compass Markings

October 20, 2007

These sidewalk compass markings are an excellent idea. No matter how much I think I know where I’m going when in New York, walking out of a subway station and back up to land level has always been very disorienting for me. Especially after the twin towers disappeared.

I don’t know how much time I’ve wasted by walking the wrong way trying to find a street sign in an unfamiliar Manhattan area. I’m definitely looking forward to this street feature for the next time I’m in NY.
