This is a shot I took of the Roanoke Star around Xmas 2005. This is the picture of the day because my partner in crime Scott is coming to town from Roanoke. We drove up to this spot with my cousin Troy that Xmas, and took some pics. I was playa-hatin’ on Troy’s photography skills, so I took this shot to show him who’s boss. Easy to do with any camera, and the super-bright neon of the star against the night sky made it pop.It was very nostalgic for me, since we used to vacation in Roanoke as a kid. Looking forward to hangin’ with my homie this weekend. Party on, Garth.

If you run the calendar forward to about 2057, you may become one with the megacorp named Buy n Large. You can get everything you want there, like a WalMart on crakk. But it’s their line of robots that really shine. Wend-E the Wash Bot is my personal fave, since I hate doing laundry.

This bit of fun is brought to you buy the Pixar guys in advance of their new film Wall-E. This fake site from the future seems to tie into the story somehow, but details are sketchy. But any megacorp that does their annual report as a musical gets my proxy vote. Enjoy the trailer.
