My dad has been on a Netflix binge, this weeks topic has been on animal documentaries. He watched an entire film on the endangerment of Pangolins, and despite his alleged nightmares starring these scaly-skinned mammals, he grew attached to the pangolin in the movie. The lady that rescues these trafficked creatures has one as aContinue reading “And So It Begins… The Pangolin Purge”

I previously posted a reflection on the experimental art film “Dinner As I Remember” by Francis Almendárez. The film was more of a series of photos with the creator reflecting on his Caribbean heritage and the importance of food within his family. He briefly touched upon the subject of eating with your hands, and howContinue reading “Dinner As I Remember (continued)”

I love the devotion in middle-eastern cooking. My dad purchases fresh and dried spices from local ethnic markets including dried lemons, fresh turmeric roots, cardamom, whole nutmeg, coriander, saffron, anise, cinnamon sticks, cumin seeds, whole peppercorns, the list continues. My mother roasts the spices in the oven or on the stove before grounding the blend.Continue reading “Dinner As I Remember (experimental art film)”

I posted three tracks on Sound Cloud, toContinue reading “the first three tracks on my sound cloud”

I recently purchased adobe creative cloud for the amazing cost of about $21, a sum I should really invest at the gym. After messing around with photoshop and even sending a professor a picture I photoshopped of her with a pair of pygmy marmosets (finger monkeys!), I decided to spend some time with adobe audition.Continue reading “adobe audition”

There are several websites that provide a customization feature on everyday products, which should come as no surprise as we are able to customize babies through genetic modification. Designer babies are real, folks. I played around with this feature and decided not to disturb my psyche by placing human faces on underwear, instead I decidedContinue reading “customize anything… anywhere”

https://www.vulture.com/2020/02/super-bowl-commercials-2020.html America is a kaleidoscope of chaos, like the backseat of a stressed parent’s minivan with sticky green soda spilled on a pilled gray carpet on a humid summer day or watching an angry man stalk an aloof woman around on stage… America is uncomfortable, for us, for the rest of the world watching aContinue reading “Super Bowl Commercials 2020”

Deepfakes, a form of media centered around the concept of deception, is suspected to play a significant role in the upcoming presidential election. If undetected, a viewer may watch an entire video where a candidate is rambling about their love for Hitler or a truly vindictive candidate may be edited to discuss their support ofContinue reading “Deepfakes”
