one last thing before I quit

Last week my favorite art gallery of choice had my favorite yearly exhibit hosted by my favorite movie director. Yep that's right, the now legendary Crazy 4 Cult show took place. And in traditional fashion, there were a ton of pieces that I love and shall share.

The beloved Ronnie James Dio has passed away this morning after a struggle with stomach cancer. It's very sad.

Despite my utmost respect for the man, I don't have a lot to say about the man. If you enjoy yourself some heavy metal music, than you know how he is. He was a marvel of a man that sang about the heavens, demons and medieval ways, all with a bunch of different bands. He'll also leave behind the legacy of the devil horn. His balding-curly-mullet hair cut was something as scary as some of his songs. His lyrics always had such a colorful description that painted such a clear picture of tales. But despite all of this, he is always describe as a humble man, that offers nothing but kindness to all.

I was introduced to him though the wonderful Tenacious D many years ago, and he hasn't left my playlists since. I was fortunate enough to see him play during his 3rd trek with Heaven and Hell (really Black Sabbath). I certainly won't forget that show. I firmly believe that the rock world just lost one it's best voices.

I've never been a big advocate for putting stickers on my electronics. I just figured that I'd grow old of it very fast and surely regret it as I'd never be able to scrape off all of the glue. But as many of my opinions have changed over the years, thank you technology, I am all for this stuff. Presenting GelaSkins.

GelaSkins are these custom covers that you can put on to protect your electronics, but also don't look like 2 dollar off-the-rack purchases. They are also removable.

They make these for a ton of varieties of cell phones, gaming consoles and accessories, Apple laptops, iPods and even Kindles. There's a whole bunch of designers that have their work submitted, which is how I found out about this marvelous art. A few of the artists run in the same circles as Gallery 1988. Anyways, here's some of my favorites:
