The Ghosts of Hauntfests Past (my Boo-N-Brew photo galleries)
The Oregon Historic District/Oregon Arts District in Dayton, Ohio has been host to the famous Hauntfest Halloween Party (formerly known as Boo-N-Brew) on the stretch of East Fifth Street between Patterson Boulevard and Wayne Avenue for many years.
Late October weather in Dayton is quite fickle. Hauntfest has seen all kinds of weather. We've lingered in the street sporting costumes with short sleeves and we've wished we had on thermal underwear while watching a KISS tribute band perform in the snow. I can't tell what weather will face us this year, or what my costume will be, yet, but I'll be out and about with my camera, once again recording some of the fun and adventure.
2010 marks the 25th Anniversary of this (in?)famous event. My friends and family have enjoyed many of them, many more than are represented in the photos below.
If you find yourself in any of these images please let me know in the comments here or in their Picasa galleries. Enjoy!

Internet Disappoints
Recent stories about financial investments by Google and the CIA in a company called Recorded Future have spawned no comparison that I can find, as of this writing, to Hari Seldon's science of psychohistory as described in Isaac Asimov's science fiction novel "Foundation". I'm rather ashamed of you, Internets.

Foodies, you may never see your meals the same way again...
http://insideinsides.blogspot.com/
Inside Insides is a small collection fruits and vegetables rendered as black & white animated .gif files created from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans.
These images are amazing, beautiful, disturbing, and thought provoking.
To me this project seems, in some way, kin to the photographic motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge.
Together, they could be used as a Rorschach test for the 21st century!
The humble tomato becomes nuclear plasma, watermelons are fractal generators, broccoli as migraine optical effects, and more.
Some are hypnotic. A few appear to have been positioned to achieve some small artistic effect. I only wish they'd been assembled in a way that alleviated the little visual jolt at the beginning/end when each animation loops. Despite any alleged "flaws" I may think I perceive, these things are mind-blowing. Do not hesitate to check them out.
Enjoy!!!

"The Truth About Ninjas" from Skinny White Chick's Blog
I have a handful of Google Alerts for a variety of things of personal interest. One alert is for the words "burlesque" and "Dayton" in the hope of finding sexy and humorous events that I might attend in my area.
Naturally, I have to spend some time separating the the useful alerts out of the lot, but I find it worth the trouble. Good alerts are are always welcome, bad alerts get deleted, but the search often turns up odd little gems like this, "The Truth About Ninjas" from Skinny White Chick - Blog
As always, Enjoy!

Clams was here last year on the "Monsters of Burlesque" tour; a short but sweet affair that gave me my first taste of live burlesque. If you'd like to see my photos from that show, check out my Picasa gallery.
