0xabad1dea: Mansplained
I was informed by the Mansplaining Brigade tonight that “man” is not a gendered word in the English language.
Great, so your mother is a man then? Lesbianism is man-on-man love? Don’t you dare say “well obviously I only meant sometimes”. I’m not psychic; your use of “man” doesn’t come with a…
Well said

0xabad1dea: Thoughts on the Boston Lockdown from the edge
A lot of people are angry, upset, or worried about the “Boston Lockdown” as a sign that Freedom Is Over. One thing almost all of these people have in common is not having been in Boston at the time. I work in information security and I’m involved with the privacy scene; I understand there’s a …

0xabad1dea: Some (self-righteous?) stuff I thought of while playing video games
Men fear women will reject them, women fear they won’t be allowed to say no
Straight people fear being made uncomfortable by gays, gay people fear they won’t be allowed to love
Cisgendered people fear being fooled, transgendered people fear they won’t be allowed to be honest
The rich fear the…

The most common message I get: “Great drawings, must be the pen! What kind is it?” This is a bit rude and naive. No magic pen will replace decades of study and practice. These drawings were done with Crayolas from the dollar store on Crayola paper. (For the record, I might own every brush pen and regular pen in existence and I use them all, pentel might be my fav) It’s nice to have good tools, but you have to put the work in.

Edit: because I’ve had so many queries, I’ve blogged about this piece, here: http://www.pardalote.net/makes/index.php/jupiter-embroidery

This is a composite satellite image of part of central Mali. It’s 256 km (160 mi) wide, or about the distance between Seattle and Portland. Timbuktu is the mark just north of the…

sketches + story: 22 #storybasics I've picked up in my time at Pixar
I tweeted these forever ago, but the internet just noticed and I figure I should probably at least put them on my blog. I’m glad people are finding them useful.
Here they are, a mix of things learned from directors & coworkers at Pixar, listening to writers & directors talk about their craft, and…
