Migraine + Fever = Migrever?

For the past week and a half or so, I’ve had a constant fever and migraine combo that is less than fun. If you are waiting on an email or other projects from me, this might explain why you haven’t heard from me. Hopefully I’ll get better. Someday.

More Vindication!

I nearly drove off the road this morning when I heard a report on NPR that vindicated my years and years of doodling.

According to Jackie Andrade, a professor of psychology at the University of Plymouth, though many people assume that the brain is inactive when they’re bored, the reverse is actually true.

Also featured are the doodles of past (and current) presidents, and a short video interview with one of NPR’s science correspondants and her mountain of insane doodles.

Here’s a doodle by LBJ.

The man that drew this was president of our country. Wow.

Robert Popper / Look Around You

I heard about this stuff on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling and had to look it up, and I’m glad I did. FUNNY STUFFFFF!
It’s like watching science class filmstrips while heavily dosed with NyQuil.
Go here and watch all the videos.

Robert is also responsible for a book called The Timewaster Letters, in which he innocently and harmlessly writes to various organizations, under his pseudonym Robin Cooper. Infinitely funny. I won’t even try to describe it. Go read about it here.
