augiemania ORLY?

Will the card parallel the nicer interference?

Dan and I have too much time on our hands…

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

wow, it must have been more than 5 years ago when Mike Shane approached me about creating a floorboard for the, then, brand new NYC Arts Cypher. I then approached him to help me make it (as he is a great photographer). Ultimately the board was rejected for being a little “violent” for a community based space, but the work is still something I’m very proud of.

from blog.mikeshanephotography.com:

Carlo Montagnino, aka @augiemania, is a digital artist, designer, and total jerk. Here he is faking his own death in this collaborative portrait. Carlo is responsible for internet sensations like Homosexuwhales & Dog and Pony Show.

without going into whatever silly BS i could to describe what this is, I’ll just say that I had this idea for an image in my head for a few weeks at the time. Something about asphalt, yellow lines and a head wound… I posed for it, because I like to be hands on, but it obviously added a bit more to it.

the original was made to be wheat pasted onto a 10′ x 8′ piece of plywood and then used as a floorboard. Mike, I may have to get this printed up soon… when do you have time?

You can take nice photos inside Forza 3!

I’ve been printing stickers agains. I am starting to like these a lot.

I haven’t used facebook for about a month.

Not because twitter is better, or because facebook sucks. It’s because I want to manage less. Twitter is easy, I say something, chat with people when I feel like it, and ignore it when I want to.

Facebook is different. signing in, I am overloaded with requests, invitations, games, and nonsense that i would never normally care about.

Now I understand many people use facebook as the primary means of connecting and interacting with people, and I think that sucks. If a friend needs to contact me, they can call, text, or email me. I wasn’t  on facebook 24/7, so it’s not very efficient in telling me anything of importance.

“friending” vs. “following”
The terminology seems more selfish for twitter, but twitter is much more than an ego boost, (right). It’s a chat room. and only 1 chat room. not a chat for every mundane piece of information ever.

I went to apply for my rifle permit yesterday and needed 4 passport photos. here’s the photo.
