I recently burned a copy of really fantastic documentary for a friend. But the problem with burning DVD’s is that they’re generally cold and impersonal. So, I decided to invest 15 minutes in making simple Disc Box Slider case for the the DVD.

I created a black and white sleeve as well as a manila colored sleeve.

Got a hundred bucks that you aren't using? Well, me either.. But If I did,  I might spend them on this wonderful and fantastically gorgeous hand knit specimen made by mad genius CraftyHedgehog.

Be sure to also check out the other dissections, including a bunny!

Been a gone a while....

I took a looo-oong break from this VOX blog in favor of twitter. (http://twitter.com/bernardr) and it was great while it lasted but I think it might be time to take a break from the "micro-blogging" and kick it old school by cranking out some posts that are longer than 140 characters.

Somwhere down the line I'll go back to the twitter and the other services I'm on.

But till then...

I'M BACK!

First Post in a while is a book!

Wowzers!

I've been gone for a real long time now. I've mostly been over at the Twitter. Hanging out, and bullshittin'...

Anyway, I finished up work on a book today. Which was real exciting for me as it's my first handmade book. A friend and I sat together for about 2 days and just hammered out some books. He walked me through whole thing and I am forever grateful!

This little baby is going to be given to my girlfriend for her birthday. (Hope she like it). I figure she can use it as a sketchbook. There's also a little pocket that can be used for...well, anything that fits in there.

Carlin:40 Years of Comedy

  • Jun 25, 2008
  • Post a comment

I've been thinking more and more about George Carlin since his passing. Its a real bummer as I used to watch his specials and listen to his albums with my dad. Because of this, Carlin had a huge impact on my world perspective and my humor. 

If you've got a moment take a listen to this full special. i'll post one of these everyday for a week.

2001 in 2008

  • May 22, 2008
  • Post a comment
On May 23, 2008, the academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences presents an event titled "2001 in 2008: A Cinematic Odyssey" hosted by Tom Hanks Visual Effects Supervisor Douglas Trumbull. The event which consisted of a presentation of rare and never before seen clips and photos of the planning and making of major sequences in 2001, was not allowed to be photographed.

A strict "no camera" policy was enforced. Even still I managed to get some 120 or so images. The quality of these photographs ranges from "just okay"; to "ugh, that's pretty bad" but knowing that these may never be seen again its good enough for me.

Currently none of these pictures are labeled . If anyone is confused about the content of any of these images, feel free to email me.

I'd also like to give a special shout-out to the developers of the CameraPro.app for the iPhone. I highly recommend it. None of these pictures would have been possible without they're amazing app.

Enjoy.

(More info soon!)
