This blog is now mothballed.
To check out our latest work please visit Alaska Robotics, Smack of Jellyfish, Lucid Reverie Creative Design and White of Eye.
UPDATE: I’ve started posting again over at Alaska Robotics.
I’m not really sure how it happened, it’s a bit of a shock to me. Our store appears to be online and possibly even functioning.
Check it out and please give us some feedback so we can make it better!
If this were the future we’d have a lot more jet-packs.

…and speaking of anthropomorphic food, I’ve always loved the subcategory of cute cannibalistic cartoon food creatures.
This little ginger chew guy is the best. He’s made of ginger and he loves ginger chews! It’s like a cow eating a hamburger.
I said I would eat one of those pickles from the bucket o’ pickles at the video store. I probably wouldn’t have followed through but the pickle fairy left one under the pickle tree this week and I felt obligated to try it.
There are several varieties in the Van Holten brand and I received Sour Sis, “One Puckered Pickle.”
Sour Sis didn’t taste too bad. She was kind of like a pepperoncini and she probably would have been much better if she were thin sliced onto a veggie sub sandwich.
Even though it wasn’t a bad overall experience, I probably wouldn’t go so far as recommending these pickles to anyone but the curious or brave. I also have strong suspicions that the pickle market is largely dependent on people who lose bets or buy gag gifts for their friends who draw comics about pickles.
The Juneau Blockbuster now has giant pickles for sale. They come in hermetically sealed pouches filled with day-glow pickle juice. I haven’t yet been brave enough to try one but I think maybe tomorrow will be the day. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’m not as scared of pickles as some people but these things are spooky. They feel like the kind of thing you need to open with tongs and a Homer Simpson style reactor suit.

I didn’t think it would happen so quickly but Juneau has been added to Google Street View.
Here’s a quick tour of my Juneau haunts:
I couldn’t find any good pictures of anyone I know wandering around town but there’s a nice shot from the bridge. These pictures must be from sometime last fall.
Check out The Alaska Short Forum, it’s a new television show we’ve been working on and episode three just hit the web today!
You can catch episodes online or on KTOO/360North which broadcasts statewide.
We’re still in the experimental stages so any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, we’re looking for Alaskan short films to feature on the show so if you know any animators or filmmakers who might want to share their work, please help get the word out. Thanks!
