“I SEE IT ALL” Deth P. Sun at Giant Robot New York, August 23, 2008

What can I say about Deth P. Sun? I don’t know what I CAN say but his pieces for this show are sometimes confused, lonely, dark and sad but with rays (colorful rays!) of HOPE. I think it’s cause of the palette he chose but then there’s all those pieces where the subject is by himself and in the dark, or it’s the castle in the clouds. You’ll see what I mean when you get there. Find the rays of hope. I recommend going to this opening.

Beijing Olympics 2008 Spanish Speaking Slanty-eye Collection!

HO-LA! Spanish speaking athletes, you’re all so cur-azy!
So yeah, now I’m part of the thousands of blogs out there that has posted this picture. I guess it was pretty outrageous but it’s obvious they had no idea how offensive this was, offensive and HILARIOUS(ly awful)! Turns out the Hispanic world is completely unaware that Chinese people (or any Asian person) don’t really appreciate being reduced to a slanty-eye gesture. Who knew? oh yeah, that’s right, everyone, except the below:

The famous Spanish Basketball Team

Spanish Women’s Basketball Team

Spanish Tennis Team

Argentinian Football Soccer team

Who’s Kosaku Shima? Uhmm… Random

What? Why the hell is this blog called ASUPREMENEWYORKTHING? Cause most of these posts are about the most random things.

I agree, now shut up.

Anyway, this was an interesting article in The Economist. Oooh, I love saying stuff like that, “I read the Economist.” Did you feel those goosebumps? But most of the issues are wasted on me. I’m not in a position to be able to use it to make billion dollar decisions. That’s why I read the trivial articles in the blue boxes. Ah ha ha, who am I kidding? It’s ALL trivial (to me). Oh god, oh god, I’m so funny…

(sigh) I’m lonely.

Kosaku Shima

There were a lot of reasons I liked this article. First, it wasn’t in a blue box despite my feeling that it definitely qualifies as a blue box article. Second, Kenshi Hirokane’s went from corporate robot to manga artist!? How awesome is that!? Third, it’s an article on manga in The Economist!

Here’s a secret, for the longest time, I thought the Japanese were the most disciplined people in the world. I mean they are, but I thought they were PERFECT. I thought the Japanese were the real life version of that Gattaca movie. People would tell me these fairy tales about Japan and how there’s no AIDS there and literacy rate is 99% or something. Then I realized they were human and all people are ultimately alike (cue ‘It’s a Small World After All’ now). Click the picture above to read the article. You’re WELCOME!

Biggest DICK in the world, at the Olympics!

I read about this a few days ago and I couldn’t believe it. I think this has happened before, right? I mean, in history. Anyway, if you’re not already in the know, Sweden’s Ara Abrahamian won a bronze medal in wrestling and had a hissy fit. He tosses the medal onto the floor like a dummy.

Programming is the language of the future

Think about that title for a while. You might think it’s obvious but think about it in more depth and expand on the face value of what I mean. If computers are going to do all the leg work of thinking and humans are the ones doing the pointing (to tell the computers where to go and what to do) then the more you “speak” or understand the language of programming the more you’ll be able to allocate your time towards the imaginative and more rewarding part of creating.

There are a bunch of standardized programming languages out there but the concept is the same, tell the computer what to do. Being good at using the basic Windows programs or Adobe Flash is one thing and being able to control every move the computer makes is a whole other thing.

Here’s a video I did for the current art show at GRNY:

Theme Magazine has a new website!

When I visited the other day, I thought their site had a problem with bluehost. I remember when I used to visit their site for events but they never updated that section. Now they’ve done this revamp where you can comment EVERYWHERE! It’s THEME MAG 2.0. Looks like they’ve added a web store. It’s nice, the font is bigger, it’s cleaner and the blog section is bigger. I wonder what THEME MAG 2.5 is gonna look like. Take a look.

‘It’s About Time, Man’ Opening Night at Repetti, July 26, 2008

I can remember a few years back reading about these group shows in Arthur Nersesian’s Chinese Takeout and now, a few years later, I finally visit one of them where, with one misstep, you could break your neck. That’s the first thing they asked me to do when I arrived, sign a waiver. I initially thought it was one of those no photography waivers or something but no! it was better, it was a “if you die, we’re not responsible” waiver. THAT! was the void I’ve been trying to fill all this time, the risk of death -or rather, the risk of LIFE! Anyway, if you can, you should definitely go out there and take a look. Calling it an installation won’t do it any justice.

Apple Computers are not here to stay. It’s just pure fact.

We’re going to look back and see that Apple computers were just another blip in history. A few of my friends who were stupid enough to buy one actually believe Apple computers are better than PCs. They are dumb. If you think they are “better” then you either have your priorities crooked or you’re dumb. End of story.

You want to argue with me that Apple computers are better than PCs? Don’t bother, “Fuck You you fucking idiot and go suck a dick” (unless we’re friends, then ignore what I just wrote). Do not waste my time. You want to edit video? Fine, you can do that on an optimum PC for half the price of an optimum Apple.

Apple computers have such a weak market share. Most businesses and when I say most I mean 95+ percent use PCs. Business runs the world, not a bunch of punk mid-20 year old douchebags with an excess of money. Let’s not kid ourselves here, Apple computers are luxury items. They are toys for rich kids. You go to a developing country and you’re almost NEVER going to see an Apple.

You want to use iMovie? Be a hipster? Suck a dick? get an Apple. You want to live in reality? Get a PC.

Listen, all you jerks with Apple computers. I have had enough of you (except all my friends, cause if you’re my friend then you can do no wrong). Don’t give that fucking stupid iPod argument, like “Look, everyone has an iPod.” What the FUCK does that mean? Am I opening up my spreadsheets using an iPod?

Those fucking stupidassed commercials with those two guys personifying PC and Mac is for total fucktards. So I see here, the guy wearing the suit is a PC and the messy guy is a Mac? So the PC is a corporate conformist? Is that it? Hey douche, think about that for a second. Don’t all these fucking Apple computers look the same? Compared to PCs, you can barely customize an Apple. Oh god, I have just spent literally 10 minutes loathing Apple by typing this entry. Please, if you are reading this from an Apple computer, do not visit my site anymore. I don’t want to smell your taint.

Jesse Jackson called Obama a N*gga? Uhmm… I’m pretty sure he’s allowed to.

Remember that whole Michael Richards debacle last year when he yelled out the N-word during one of his “acts”? (in quotation marks cause it’s only an act if it’s funny) Well, THAT was wrong. He’s not allowed to say that because he’s white. Chris Rock can say the N-word and everyone can laugh. Why? Cause he’s black? Partly, well, largely, but also cause it was funny when he used it. I guess it’s the context.

Now - Jesse Jackson gets caught on TV almost a week ago saying he wants to “cut [Obama's] nuts off” and now we’re discovering that on top of that he might have called Obama “a n*gga” (source) and we’re flabbergasted? Really? Uh…hello! I think he’s allowed to. He fulfills both the requirements:

1.) JJ is black

&

2.) Come on, he’s hilarious (even if it’s unintentional).

I thought it was in the [black] Bill of Rights that one black man can call another black man the word n*gga and it’s almost considered a gesture of goodwill (chuckle). Maybe not, I don’t know. I like Obama and I like Jesse Jackson - how can you not? he is such a character - so clearly it’s another media circus having a field day with this whole thing.
