I don't have plans to close this account but I doubt it will be active moving forward. If you want to talk about mograph and critters and vfx and other interesting stuff, look for bmaffitt in the blue place. I'd love to see you there.
Our 7th annual Holiday special for the Late Show… Enjoy!

35 years ago today, Graham Chapman died. I remember reading about it in the NY Daily News... a one-paragraph obituary in the Entertainment pages. It was the same day that Secretariat died, whose coverage in the same paper included a cover story and a two-page center spread. 1/2
It seems grossly unfair that the passing of a comic genius and founder of Monty Python deserved less attention than a racehorse, but in the intervening years I have come to accept that life (& death) are not always fair. Perhaps Graham would have found it funny. /end @JohnCleese
Entenmann's Raspberry Danish is the perfect breakfast snack. I've tried for years to find a local bakery or store brand that is as good or better, but nothing I have eaten is an improvement on Entenmann's (and most fall well short). I don't know how they do it.
Man the US men's 4 x 100 team must have broken a mirror under a ladder and spilled some salt on it in 2000 or something
I don't think the balance beam competition was particularly fair since the later gymnasts had to perform on a beam that was covered in all that blood and guts
Katie Ledecky now has the top 20 world records in the women's 1500. She wins by such a wide margin that even in the Olympics, when an athlete comes in second they still aren't beating her 20th-fastest time ever. Nobody else even comes close to her. She's amazing.
To any of my friends who are also friends with Jeremy Levick, his twitter account has been hacked. He is not really selling cheap laptops. Hard to believe this old scam still works, but here we are.
Squirrels, chipmunks and blue jays are the piranhas of the peanut world; together they can skeletonize a full bowl of peanuts in about 30 seconds
I have now lived a third of my life on Earth without my Dad. For many years this anniversary brought me only sadness... but today, in his memory, I think I will putter around in my shop and smile.
I guess @bhphoto doesn't want people to use their PayBoo credit cards any more. They just jacked up my APR to 35.99% on new purchases. I have good credit and have never been late on a payment. Insane.
