Picture Books
By DK Balanay
“If you have a laptop, why do you read the newspaper?” My dad fussed with his computer bag a seat away from me at the bartop at the more popular Starbucks in town the morning after Christmas; a Sunday. I tossed my paper down on the counter and slung my bag next to it as I took my seat.
“Because,” I smiled, “I get distracted.”
“Oh,”...

@aggression Concerning Tron
I don’t know how to reply to you; I can’t find the button.
I really liked the movie, I thought it was a great recall of the old one, but I also felt that it was a bit too short and “to-the-chase.” I felt that it was one big “running” movie, and I really wanted there to be more struggle for the goal. It was pretty smooth, considering about 15 minutes of the...

The Biology of Cities
I was attracted to this article by accident, when I saw someone put up a pic of a sprawling urban city. At first I thought, what a radical view on the city. It used a wide-angle lens, but I marveled at how it never showed the countryside in the distant horizon. I clicked on it to get a closer look and was taken to a fascinating article of a physicist named Geoffrey West. The article, by Jonah...

2011 Goals: I got this.
Finish a book / screen play
Pay off one major bill I have
Save money for Grad School
Book 3 Weddings / 3 Senior Photos

My Articles
I just went through and put my name on my articles that I’ve written on here. It seems a bit strange to me, but I keep hearing that if I don’t, it doesn’t look like mine.
Anyway, I’m not really sure what good will come of it, but as an artist, I know what it means to sign your work… even though it seems all too easy to just jump on here and steal the work without...

Cataclysm
I have finally gotten my hands on a Collector’s Edition Cataclysm box for World of Warcraft, after what seemed like torture during the middle of the night when the Wal-mart had “misplaced” their only 6 copies. It wasn’t so bad, I made some friends, and we ventured to the other store on the other side of town, only to be told that they didn’t receive any of the...

Dreams
You know how sometimes, usually in once in a really long time, you dream of someone you haven’t spoken to? Or those times when you dream of someone you do speak to, but it’s just a very crazy sort of dream? Like Scott Pilgrim when he dreams of Ramona. Or… I don’t know, like when I dream of my best friend…
I don’t normally dream of him. The last time I did, it...

Late Night
I’m super tired from staying up late every night, and even pulling all-nighters this week for my papers and homework. I’ve got most of my homework done, and only one paper left (due Friday) and this week is over, and then it’s just a matter of taking some finals!
It has been waay too long since I’ve been this excited about winter holiday!
I took a photoshoot recently of...
