Talk about just only the beast, er, best furry costumes you've ever seen. This is definitely soft sculpture. If you don't know what a furry is, shame on you. Shame on you and read this article about furries lest you dare to call yourself a part of this generation and scorn the Inter-net.

PS make sure you watch the action videos of the suits in action

I Tried... :-\

Hey Ryan... so I tried to read the article and I did not really understand it... I hope I get it when we talk about it in class... By the way, we were supposed to read the first article only right?

Photo club! Join it! ...Please?

So, a friend of mine recently started up a photography club here at Umass. It's a really informal group that is trying to connect students across campus with an interest in photography. We're hoping to set up photoshoots that cover as much photography techniques as we can cover, so everyone can learn new tips and tricks. There's only been one meeting and one adventure/photo trip so far, so the group is still in it's infancy, and it can always use more members with creative ideas, even just models too.

Basically there's a facebook group that sends out updates on meetings and photoshoots, and a flickr group where you can upload your pictures (much higher quality than on facebook).

facebook! flickr!

side note: stumbleupon is amazing, and terribly addicting. I found some pretty sweet artwork there, and it's a great way to pass time in 3D or art history.

This article is the death of me. My gargantuan clip will never be stuffed or sewn. I have died.
I would rather stare at the both horrifying and hilarious photo at this top of this page.
Although I will try to read it. Whether it will be a success or not will be determined by me possibly showing up to class tomorrow.
Semi-serious blog post? Maybe. I'll give it a chance.

Ryan is secretly a power lifter.

that's relevant to the class...right?
by the way, this article is obscenely long and boring. sorry. I'm trying.
