OWhata

Okay, I know I promised the Open Love Letter to Liz Lemon next, but I just have to write this post now…

Genpets. Holy Shit.  Honestly, my brain tells me that this is a well-engineered hoax, but my brain has been wrong before.

Genpets are a bio-engineered mammals that come in packages like toys.  They are reported on the site as being alive.  The packaging has electronic devices and chemicals hooked into the Genpet to keep them in a perpetual state of hibernation - they are reported to be breathing.  They bleed, they have bones, they make noises - they are alive in every way you and I are (supposedly.)

In all honesty…IF this is real, I think I’d rather be eaten alive by a white tiger wearing a Bill Cosby sweater than be on a planet where this is happening.  But then again - I’m into freedom of evolution and this seems like a hella way to push those genetic doors open to punctuated equillibrium.  READ THIS WEBSITES FAQS!!!!

Dale sent me a few of this guys drawings a while back.  Luckily I still had one on my desktop.  I don’t have a link to a site for him because it was a bitch to Google this guy and come up with the Peter Taylor I was looking for - so find him yourself.

Oh yeah, sorry to have vanished.  Things have been rather odd in James land the past few weeks.  Usually life is either good, bad, or neutral - but never a mixed bag.  Lately, I’ve had the party mix and, although I’m quite happy, I’m looking over my shoulder often.  Here’s a short list of what’s happened lately - hit a guy on his bike with my car, ended my contract after 2 1/2 years at the job, getting more freelance work, finished the first cartoon with my production company and sent it off to Adult Swim, met a great lady (of course she’s moving away soon), clean bill of health at the dentist, great parties with great friends, my back healed so my ankle nearly broke…

So, yeah, I’m sorry and still love you all and love blogging.  I’ll be more regular.

Christmas Tree.

Ike Turner.

Hayden Panettiere.

Teddy Bear.

Alfred Nobel.

No. I don’t need LSD and I haven’t come out of a closet. But, please, friends…bear with me for a week or so. I’m going to be posting photos in pursuit of an web-based experimentation. “You will hear little of Max Bialoystok in the days to come…”

Here is the first photo… Vladimir Putin.

I just visited Amazon.com and went to order Thank You For Smoking - I found 107 used copies and the cheapest was for $1.36 - sweet deal, says Jimmy.  Then I see that shipping is a mandatory 3 dollars and 99 cents - for you in the high seats, that’s almost 4 whole dollars.

Now, I know about bookrate - it’s the special rate the United States Postal Service provides to libraries and geeks for shipping books.  Anyway, Amazon, I’d love to talk to you about a way we can change that - I think you have the leverage with the post office.  OR…

Have you heard of Betterworld.com?   I won’t go into all the details - I’ll say this: THEY’RE AWESOME.  They partner with people in Literacy programs around the globe, care about the environment, and use the fact that their e-commerce to NOT CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS $3.99 FOR SHIPPING A USED BOOK THAT IS GOING FOR $1.36.

Trust me - check out Betterworld.com and

Tyler Durden may have meant it, but it just isn’t true.  And PopularFront, a web-branding company (a pretty cool one, if you ask me), has given you the capability to not only create your own snowflake at Snowdays but to also join a community of other flakes now at over 4 million strong.
