Check out my Origin Story.
Here's an unedited iphone pic of me shooting a rainbow out of my cock:
Here's a pic of me cradling a charred zombie corpse:
here's a pic of me from the Jerusalem Post in 1986:
sigh, I was such a cute kid. What went wrong?
go do something awesome and tell me about it.
I enjoy getting email. Don't be shy!
I love you.

P.S. Here's a copy of my To-Do List:
Hello! My name is
I want to give your brain a blowjob
I want to go down on your brain
and lick your brain’s clit
I’ll start by slowly licking along the folds of your right hemisphere
then I’ll firmly grip your occipital lobe
and start gently massaging your parietal lobe, with words and fingers
as I tease your prefrontal cortex with my warm breath
then I’ll press my lips firmly against your medial longitudinal fissure and suck deeply, creating a vacuum like in deep space
I’ll slip my pinky in between the gyruses of your somatosensory cortex, rubbing inside your sulcus
then I’ll focus my tongue on your frontal cortex, first gently, then strongly, all through your mesolimbic pathway, while rubbing my lower lip against your hypothalamus
and when you’re teased to the point where you can’t take it anymore, my mouth joyfully drowning in your delicious cerebrospinal fluid, I’ll finally lick your brain’s clit (I know you; your brain definitely has a clit) and really go to town.
I promise to be very, very careful with your amygdala. I know it’s sensitive.

When you’re tired, sleep, when you’re hungry, eat, when you’re depressed, work, when you’re horny, fuck, when you’re sad, cry, and when you’re happy, smile. When you’re bored, imagine, when you’re restless, exercise. When you’re afraid, breath, when you’re excited, jump, when you’re lost, explore, when you’re thinking, think, when you’re talking, listen, and when a pretty girl smiles at you, smile back.
When there’s music in your heart, dance to it.
I’ve grown tired of seeing pictures by photographers I know making the rounds through tumblr without them getting any attribution. So, for when I know who took the picture, I’ve created ‘Credit The Artist!’ / PictureBy.tumblr.com
Click here of you want to join so you can reblog/credit pictures you see going around without attribution.
This is a picture of photojojo creator Amit Gupta’s most recent birthday party.
I would like to take a picture at his next birthday party.
But for him to have a next birthday, he needs your help.
Amit has Acute Lukemia, and has been undergoing chemotherapy to get him ready for a bone marrow transplant to save his life.
Now he needs to find a donor match within the next 27 days.
The entire internet has gotten together, organizing donor test parties (it takes 2 minutes; you just rub a cotton swab to the inside of your cheek). Amit’s friends Seth Godin, Michael Galpert, and Jake Lodwick have offered $30,000 to anyone who is a donor match.
says aziz ansari:
Unfortunately, South Asians are really unrepresented and his chance of finding a match are low. So I’m encouraging all of you (in particular brown folks) to join the registry. All you do is swab your cheek with the q-tip looking things (as seen above) and send it in. It takes 3 minutes and it can save someone’s life.
A cousin of mine once had a fatal illness, found a match, had similar transplant, and is now fine. It was like a miracle.
Every time I’ve met Amit, he’s been positive, fun, curious, and passionate. He’s really everyone’s friend.
Together, let’s save this awesome man’s life.
It will probably take less time than you’ve spent reading this post.
Please click for more info, and take a minute to swab for Amit: SAVE AMIT
Tell me three lies.

>> IDEA: NEW ANIMATED GIF FORMAT
Gifs as a medium have far outgrown the limitations of gifs as a file format. Ever since I made my first one, I’ve long wished they could exist in high quality (gifs are limited to 256 colors). This is going to be necessary for them to make the leap they’re making as a respected art form. Some people try making vimeo loops, but those ‘jerk’ on the reset. Since there is no high-quality alternative that will work cross-browser, the solution is to create one:
To write a piece of code that will cycle through JPEGs or PNGs, but have a mask over it so right-clicking will save it all as one file (an equivalent gif or zip / etc).
Casey Pugh said it would be easy to do this as an iframe. (Here’s a picture of him dressed as an astronaut, so you know he knows what he’s talking about.)
IDEA: Excellent. As a frequent maker of gifs and recorder of moments, I would love to have this.
NEEDS: Someone with the proper developer skillset who cares enough to build it.
RELATED: Some of my favorite gifs I’ve made:
*Re: Replies I’m getting: APNGs are what I’m referring to when I say “there is no high-quality alternative that will work cross-browser”. If the format isn’t supported, as far as creators like me are concerned, it doesn’t exist.
UPDATE: If you’re travelling this August or September, ‘How To Cook Beef Stroganoff and Fight Off A Ninja’ is playing in syndication on Virgin Airways Flights by way of BoingBoingTV!
boingboing (the coolest blog in the galaxy) and flying are two of my favorite things, so this is awesome! Thanks Xeni & Joe, and always Yatta.
