Welcome. This is the Botched Blog, the personal web site and hideous time-sink for Gustaf Fjelstrom (that would be me). Part proving ground and rickety digital soapbox, part high tech scrapbook of pixelated narcissism, this site will serve merely to document the journey… lest I forget.
Bizarre animations of Monsters in live action.
Don’t talk at the movies.
I think the latest version of Flash Player broke my WASP player.
I have no money. Please accept my drawing of a spider
Now here is a great idea… a cat little box ventilation system.
Incredible story of survival.
Don’t often wax politics… but I couldn’t pass up this irony.
Let’s reinstate the nap!
This is one sinister food mascot.
What kind of world is it when two kids can’t shoot their own version of a zombie-flick? Oh wait, did I say kids? I meant two dudes: aged 44 and 37.
As if bears weren’t dangerous enough… now they’re armed.
Lifelock? No Thanks!
Just updated Expression Engine… Also installed a bunch of plug-ins and extensions. Hoping this will auto update Twitter, too.
More Oberservations » (236 observations so far.)
Carbon Based Lifeforms: World of Sleepers
Very much enjoying a recent eMusic Find: Carbon Based Lifeforms. Ambient electronica. Just the ticket for late-night design sessions.
I’m overdue on some diversions here, so I’ll try to catch up. A recent eMusic find: Isis: In the Absence of Truth. Dynamic, atmospheric, heavy, scary… exactly my cup of tea.
Back in the day, for a short while anyway, I was fairly into Korn. My interest was piqued of late when I heard that guitarist “Head” had found God and quit the band… then piqued again when I came across his autobiography a week or so ago. I don’t know that I’ve ever read a book in one sitting, but I did so with this one.
Jeff Somer’s Electric Church is a rough, gritty, and violent look at the future… where cyborg “monks” offer the promise of immortality. But at what cost? Very entertaining… and a very fast read. I’m looking forward to more from Jeff Somers.
Everyone know about Abraham Lincoln, Right? I though I did… before I listened to Doris Kearns Goodwin’s account of Lincoln’s Presidency. I guess I just never paid much attention (or even noticed) what a masterful politician he was (using that term in the oft-neglected positive sense of the word). From how he ascended to the forefront of the Republican Party with his winning of the nomination for the Presidency, to the skillful knitting together of his cabinet (consiting primarily of his politcal rivals) to his truly great leadership during the darkest years of the United States… Verily awe-inspiring.
