Tour of PA Disrupts Traffic, Entertains Several

The tour of pa came through Pittsburgh today. After consulting with several bicycle aficionados, we decided that we would congregate at the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern (which doesn’t open until five) - parking lot @ 1:45 in order to beat the crowd. We did beat the crowd! The other four people that came to watch hung out in the Sure Save parking lot, but we beat them by a solid 20 minutes. The police held up traffic for a LONG time while the race passed through. Man, were people pissed! Here is some video that we are releasing without the expressed permission of Schwinn Bicycles, the State of Pennsylvania, or American Eagle Outfitters. Get ready…

P.S. The video is of horrible quality, and not worth viewing. I wrote the whole post before Youtube approved the video. It sucks, but a post is a post. Thanks a-lot Youtube

Paul Chan’s THE SEVEN LIGHTS at the New Museum

paul chan

If you’re heading to New York before the end of June, do check out Paul Chan’s installation The Seven Lights. It’s by far the winner between the Tomma Abts/Double Album/Paul Chan shows at the New Museum.

The New Museum is an art installation space devoted to showing contemporary artworks only (I think from only within the past ten years). They are a non-collecting museum and moved recently from their tiny Chelsea location to their breathable, architecturally interesting site near Chinatown on Bowery.

Taxidermied Squirrel Dioramas!!! Yay.

The gang over at Extreme Craft put these bad boys up. An amazing collection of taxidermied squirrels and other animals that can be viewed in the basement of a funeral home in Madison Wisconsin. I wish that I had this much free time. And who says that people that work with the dead aren’t just like you and me!

Creepiest Television Commercials of All Time

When I was little, I watched a lot of television commercials, or TV in general for that matter. The commercials from my youth invade my psyche to this day, appearing in my dreams and even fantasies on a regular basis. This is now compounded by my fascination with contemporary advertising. Over the years I have mentally archived many remarkable commercials. My brain, bloated and top-heavy, impregnated with peculiar media, has finally gone in to labor. Whoosh… a torrent of amniotic fluid pours from my nose and tear ducts as lil’ baby ads squeeze out of my ear. Oh wow, it is a litter of yipping, yapping creepy television commercials. Awwww look at ‘em play…


Mmmm Kinder Eggs! It’s like a Cracker Jack and a Cadbury Egg made babies… And this commercial is what happens when Humpty Dumpty and Garbage Pail Kids mate.

More Creepy Television Commercials after the break!

Experian Terrible and Awesome at the Same Time (or, How to Reach a Real Human in the Age of Telephone Automation)

perjovschi

I had some trouble with my credit due to someone else’s social security number being on my credit report. Don’t worry folks, I’m fine, it’s just my financial spirit that took a beating. I’d like to outline to you here what went wrong, and how I dealt with the credit bureau. I have to type up this report for my records anyways!

(Above artwork by Dan Perjovschi — one of my favorites from the Venice Biennale 2007. More on him later).

Read along if you’re struggling to deal with Experian.
