The upswing of people viewing porn on iPhones is apparantly a big blogging target right now.  My trend tracker pointed to this google trends page.

The page had a breakdown by cities which had an unusual oddity:

Iphone

DC is number one, no surprises there.  Finally congressmen can look at porn from the Senate floor.

But look at #3.  Richardson Texas?  Where is Richardson Texas, and why does it create more hits for iPhone porn than *either* Las Vegas or Los Angeles?

Wikipedia says that the population is around 100,000 people, so more people can't be the answer... The answer must be... more iPhones per capita.  Why do you think that is?  Well, Richardson is home to  600 high tech companies, including telco companies, like Nortel, Ericsson, Texas Instruments and.... AT&T. An added advantage of the 3G network, clearly!

Other surprises are Irvine and Pleasanton both placing ahead of San Jose or Cupertino, so Apple is clearly able to keep a handle on the illicit porn. 

Mystery_18Jun08

I am SOOOOOO busy right now.  But I am taking a break and posting this real quick.  It's another case of post it while I'm semi-happy with it, because I've been working with it for many days and I'm not doing anything else.

No_turn_09May08

It's interesting, as the sun gets brighter in san francisco, the images i'm making on the ds are getting more vivid.  This is because the sun shining on the screen reflects and I'm picking brighter colors without realizing it.

It makes this road sign look pretty neon.

Started on my bus ride yesterday, finshed the rest while "So You Think You Can Dance" was on last night.   

Gasworks_30May08

This isn't something I drew, so no kudos to me on this one! Rather, I took a digital picture that Mystery and I took of Gasworks Park in Seattle, converted it from .jpg to .png, downsized it so that it could be brought into the DS, and then I drew overtop of the image, effectively posterizing it and adding some fun scribbley effects. 

I was seeing if we could bring in photos in this fashion, to work as a starting point.  I don't think I'll be doing this regularly, but it is neat to experiment sometimes.

Bus_and_Bike_22May08

The odd thing above the bus, is the Sutro Tower, for anyone who doesn't live in San Francisco.  This is at the terminal stop for the 35 line, at the corner of Market and Castro.

Watermelon_21May08

The thing I like best about this one is how well the yellow-white spot where the melon sits on the ground came out.
