Woospace Relaunch

I was noticing that woospace has been down about a month, and was really feeling the loss. So I am preparing to get things rebooted and back online! The last month has been a crazy struggle shifting into a graphic design position and purchasing my first home. Yes, I signed the papers this morning... So things will continue to be hectic for me, but for those who are still interested I am going to attempt to put some content up.

What's going on...

Dear Woospacers, as you may have noticed, things have slowed down here quite a bit. Currently I'm going through a career transition, and the learning curve is cutting into my Woospace time. But I am proud to announce that July 17 was my one year anniversary publishing this blog, and I don't want to give this up. So give me some time, and I promise, once the work transition is over, I will be back publishing on a regular basis. Until then, thank you for stopping by...

Adopt A Bear

My friend Canada found this guy sitting across the street. Thanks C! His note says "free, please I need a home"... there you have it folks.

The Treasures of Long Gone John

Check out this cool documentary that follows the ecentric founder of the indie record label Sympathy for the Record Industry. Old Long Gone John, is an interesting fellow, watch the trailer for the film and see his influence on the L.A. "underground" art scene. Check it out, Matey! Link.

The Stars!

Reign O'er Me

Okay, so World Trade Center came out this weekend, which I didn't see, but might. It just looks so sentimental and straightforward, but I hear Nick Cage is good. Anyhow, I suppose we'll begin to see more and more "9-11 films" in the wake of WTC, and here is one I'm looking forward to called "Reign O'er Me" starring Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler or at least his Bob Dylan look-alike. Read more about the film here.

Karate Chimp!

I've never seen anything like this... this is one primate you don't want to try to mug or tackle from behind, watch this chimp in all his karate glory! link

Giant Baby

A giant baby and a baby of normal size lie together at Xiangfan First People's Hospital in Xiangfan, a city in central China's Hubei Province Thursday, Aug. 10, 2006. The giant baby, who weighs 12 pounds and is two feet tall, was born at the hospital on Thursday.

Get Sam Jackson to make a call for you...

Daniel Krall

Sorry my posting has been erratic, started a new job, and I'm trying to learn as much about as possible. Anyhow, here's a cool artist with some nice work. link

Tron Guy

Jay Maynard built himself a Tron costume, and then the world found him on the internet. I had never seen this site, and if you haven't, then I'd suggest checking out his videos. His appearances on Jimmy Kimmel are pretty awkward TV, check out his site here.

Duyun

Had to post this picture... this is the town I lived in for two years! Duyun is a remote city in Guizhou province, well known for it's minority population. I walked down that street (known as Dog street) many times. This looks like a "traditional" wedding ceremony for the media, as the ethnic Buyi people are often used to promote tourism.

More Chinglish

Everyone who has ever been to Asia loves these signs. Take a look at this great gallery of "chinglish" images. link.

Olympics 08

This week marks the official two year countdown to China's big Olympic show. Yesterday they released the first pictograms for the various sports. It seems to me they are loosely based on ancient Chinese characters, not the modern day ones. China is freaking out in anticipation, yesterday they tried to predict the weather for the opening ceremony...

Wickerman fest

Not quite sure what this is all about, but it seems to be an interesting flickr set of a Scottish hippy outing known as "Wickerman". Some good documentation pics, but also great pictures of Scotland too. link

Beauty Robot

"Rong Cheng", a newly-created robot, sits on display at the Institute of Automation of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing August 7, 2006. Rong Cheng, dubbed as the first Chinese "beauty" robot, is able to respond to some 1,000 Chinese words. She can dance, bow and greet people in the Sichuan dialect as she is destined for the Sichuan Science Museum to serve as a receptionist. The robot costs about 300,000 yuan (US$37,500) to make, according to Xinhua News. [Reuters]
