Pug Screen Clean

Your screen is dirty.
Please allow my little friend to help you with that problem...

Thanks to Robin for sending this my way!

UPDATE:
Wow it looks like the original link went down due to too much traffic and 15,000 votes from Digg (which has gotta be a new record). I have had 500 people visit my site in the last few days, most from Googling "pug screen clean"... I am happy I am so search engine optimized these days! Especially for a little personal blog. Regardless, here is a mirror link to that cute little pug cleaning your screen with his little pug tongue.

Top 10 Fun and Easy Photo Projects I Will Complete Someday

So I've been keeping a mental catalog of fun and relatively easy digital photo projects I would like to do sometime soon. I though I'd finally share!

Please let me know if you have any more to add to the list...

1. Jowlers: You basically have your friend loosen her cheeks and shake her head real fast... Capture the chaos with a real fast shutter speed.
2. Sheet Jump Ghosts: Throw a sheet on a friend, have her jump up in the air and tuck in her legs... Instant ghost!
3. Long Exposure Sex: Um... Kind of speaks for itself. Be sure your partner is willing! The linked photo looks like missionary... I would recommend switching it up a bit.
4. Flying: Basically, lay down on the floor and make like Superman.
5. Digital Picasso: This one recquires multiple digital point-and-shoots... Snap large photos of pieces of your face and use the screen shots to replace the real deal.
   
6. Long Awkward Pose: You've probably done this countless times unintentionally... Essentially, tell your friend you are taking a still photo, but secretly make a short film.
   
7. Photo-A-Day: Dammit! 2008 was going to be my year of doing this project. Now I have to wait another 11 months or so (I want to do a full calendar year of self portraits).
   
8. Frame Up: Fun for parties... Have a picture frame on hand, and have guests hold it up while you take their photo. How meta...
9. DIY Photobooth: Okay so this one is not "easy", but how cool would it be to have a photobooth in your apartment? Especially one that auto-uploaded to Flickr...
10. Inspiration: Give a friend an adjective or a situation (gross ones involving sex and their parents usually work well)... Photograph the madness that ensues. Howard Schatz has been doing this for a while now with famous actors, but he stole it from me.
    

Introducing the minitreyblog!

It appears that Tumblr is here to stay as the new kid on the blog, whether we like it or not (I personally believe it is a great innovation in blogging... So easy to use).

I've been struggling to find the right balance here on the treyblog. On one hand, I enjoy spending a long time crafting fun multimedia posts that show off my personal weekly adventures in real life. On the other hand, I love sharing random junk I find and am amused by on the Internet.

So, I'd like to introduce the minitreyblog as a new forum for showing off the latter. Please read both if you like... I'll be updating this site weekly, and the new one daily.

Oh and if you've already got your own Tumblr blog, holler and we can become "friends".

SF No Pants 2K8

Last Saturday was the first ever SF No Pants 2K8 BART ride, brought to us by the good people at Improv Everywhere. It was simply amazing. We made it all the way to Daly City, sans pants, then post-partied at a little Irish pub in the Financial District (still sans pants).

Natalie called me at the last minute and convinced me to go. Only downside there was I did not have time to pre-party, and all of my good boxers and boxer briefs were dirty. Next year I will be much better prepared!

Props to the Jo-Tel for such a strong showing (of themselves, their bodies, and their bottles).

I am too lazy to post a ton of photos. Below are a handful... Definitely head over to Flickr to view my set, Natalie's set, and Pseudo-Reid's set.



















Natalie also shot some great mooning video (which I unfortunately had to miss) hosted on Viddyou. We even made it onto Laughing Squid!

It's Like My Favorite Move "The Notebook" (but for Reals)

And with Russian lovers.



Simply beautiful...

Here's Looking at You

Wow.

Simply amazing. Why don't we talk this candidly and this randomly more often? I think it might work miracles.

This PC culture is killing us all. Communication trumps righteousness everytime.

I would love to do this with different groups of my friends sometime...

A Night of Mischief

Alex and I broke the law repeatedly on Thursday night.

But it was for a noble cause! For reals. SFPD please don't hunt us down... We're mostly good kids.

We spraypainted the Mission (and a bit of Noe Valley) to celebrate her friend Matt's birthday. Sides of old houses, construction zones, and sidewalks. Mostly harmless. We tried to get Clarion Alley, too, but there were just too many beautiful pieces we did not want to damage.

But Alex called me the next evening, however, and apparently everything had either been washed away in the rain, or removed by unknown entities. It's like as if it never really happened. Sad... It's the thought that counts, right?

If only we had documented the evening!

We'll Always Have Dante's...

A caravan of us drove up from SF to Portland to bring in the New Year. It was, of course, the best New Years ever (they get better every year).

So good, in fact, that I swore off alcohol for the rest of my life upon returning to SF last night... And yet I find myself drinking a really tasty lager while blogging this.

New Years Resolution: Failed.

Highlights of the trip include:

• The drive itself (dual twelve hour epic bro-fests/ failed quests for "peelers" along the way).
• Dante's (we shall see you again every Sunday for the rest of our lives!).
  
• The Oregon Zoo (no escaped tigers, just really good beer and primates).
• New Year's itself at Holocene (lamely pronounced "Ho-lo-scene").
• Portland itself (what a wonderful city... I could/ might live there).
• Whiskey (speaks for itself).
  

Lowlight of the trip is solely:

• Me acting like a jackass post-midnight on New Years (at least, the extremely hazy mis/recollections of my behavior that I believe I remember but now everything is in doubt).

I would create a ranking of everyone's "performance" during the trip, a la THE Jo-Tel, but I don't want to steal their thunder. That said, The Shark would come in dead last for spending all of Monday listening to doomcore and reading Kidnapped instead of partying with us at the zoo.

Here are some photos of our zoo excursion (you can find more at my Picasa Web Album)...
