Slip Angel's blog

Being in a relationship involves many serious commitments. In mine, participation in exploratory conversations about the impact of lightsaber possession on the animal kingdom may be one such commitment. This semi-serious discussion was launched by a simple inquiry, "If each member was given a lightsaber, which species on earth would launch the most effective reign of terror?"

A few quick pics from Cars for the Cure in Orlando. If you love the Bugatti Veyron, the Corvette ZR-1, Porsche 911 GT3s and Turbos, you should have been there. I was surprised and delighted to find not one, but three 2001 BMW M Coupes at the show. My adoration for this "bad little M" is no secret, and it was brilliant to see how amazing the 10 year old car looks, even when its neighbors are a Ferrari 430 and a R35 Nissan GT-R.

Just a few pictures from our recent trip out to Arizona and California. Tina is using a Canon t1i for most of the shots with just a kit lens.

The trip was amazing. I really can't begin to disgrace it with words any more than that. Phoenix, LA, the Bay Area. It's just another world than Orlando. Don't get me wrong, no place has ever felt more like "home" to me than Orlando. I have such an intimate knowledge of the people and places that make Orlando great, as well as the streets that connect them. It's an overwhelming sensation that is difficult to give up.

It's a little pointless to tell you, but things are changing around here. Slip Angel has a new look and a new purpose. In between fine tuning the site, stay tuned for a recap of our amazing California trip, a possible move, and an avalanche of new video and writing work that I've been working on.

Everyone whose told me about the book called Getting Things Done use the sentence "it changed my life" somewhere in their description. Some of these same people are mooches that have a fake portfolio and bounce from contract job to contract job. This bohemian-in-denial lifestyle is becoming more and more appealing to me; let me tell you why:

When considering a purchase for something as personal as clothing, there is a pervasive concern that a wrong selection will make you look like "that guy." For any given combination of lifestyle and age group, there are always those on the left side of the box-and-whisker graph that wear their clothes too tight, their brands too loud, their style too forced, and their scene too cli

For reasons I won't get into, I went to Vans Warped Tour twice this weekend: once in Orlando and again in St. Petersburg. I would love to say that there was something worthwhile about each trip, that I got to connect with good music and act my age for one day out of the year. For me, that equates to having a few drinks, shoving people, and putting my long hair to good use.

This is not the week for easy fixes for me. Yesterday, I had a unique experience with Javascript that made me die a little inside. To visualize, imagine trying to translate a book from English to Spanish, but instead of writing out the Spanish copy, you must instead fashion a complicated set of mirrors that project individual letters from the English pages onto the wall en español. Now imagine that you have fat fingers and that they are covered with Cheeto dust, so as you fumble around with these tiny mirrors, you inadvertently muck them up with grease.

Have you ever made a mental note to check someone's website out, but procrastinate for months, all the while knowing you're missing out on something amazing? @willroegge has been sitting in my Twitter list since last October.

Hearing stories of amazing drift edits and pro camerawork, I was attracted to Will's work because I happen to do some video work myself—boring, shitty video that involves talking to people you've never heard of, about things you don't give a damn about. Having no choice of subject or influence as DP, I love to dream of what I'd could accomplish on my own.

I spent most of last week throwing up, breaking fevers, and passing loose bowels while watching Top Gear. I decided I should share my favorite moments with you! Early 2000 sports cars, crappy hybrids, are what you'd expect on a solid car shop. But this is Top Gear. Superb photography, artistic edits, and humorous banter are the norm for a production this epic. My good friend YouTube nursed me back to health with a week's worth of 10 minute Top Gear clips. In the 5 posts below, you'll get to see some of my favorite finds—without enduring projectile vomit. Lucky you!
