Heat Vision and Jack

This pilot by Ben Stiller in 1999 never aired:

“The 30 minute pilot is about an astronaut (played by Jack Black) with a medical secret who is on the run from the evil Ron Silver and the rest of NASA, with the help of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson).”

 

“I have over 300 balaclavas and 45 tracksuit tops.”

OCAD student Miles Collyer is exhibiting at the Böhm TradeCenter
(Link to the Exhibition)…

“The balaclavas were more of a long-term collection that started as a kid basically having them to use in the Canadian winters. And then I kept expanding my collection just through an interest in visual associations with simple things like superheroes. I’m a thrift store shopper and these are just things I came across. I worked in a factory that basically sorted used clothing. So the track top was one of millions of garments that would come across my path everyday. I would throw t-shirts in the t-shirt bin and keep the track tops for myself. This work came from a slow progression. It didn’t happen all in one day. It wasn’t my intention to find them. It wasn’t until the project was finished that I realized what I had and what I was working with.”

I’ve been “Rasterizing Layers” for 5 hours!

Casper pointed me towards Look Busy, a mac application that will generate any status bar you want for as long as you want. You could be: “Generating High Resolution Composite”, “Processing Important Timesheets”, or even “Connecting to Font Server” all day!

The Short Life of The Mayfly
