Mr. Potato Head Vectors
Not really sure why I created these Mr. Potato Head Illustrator vectors. I guess I was inspired after illustrating a vector ping pong ball the other day. It is what it is.

Ping Pong Ball
Me and a friend played 19 games of ping pong over two hours tonight in beautiful weather while building up a sweat. Yeah, we're cool.
In dedication, I spent 2 hours on this Illustrator Ping Pong Ball. Awesome, or what?

Netflix Price Increase
![]() |
| NETFLIX = NET PROFIT logo - wdsiemer ii |
Rabble, rabble, rabble...
Nobody likes price increases. Gas prices keep taking a hike. Cell phone bills are outrageous. Restaurants increase the prices on their menu. It seems my DirecTV bill has continually grown more expensive, and I get less of the channels I'd prefer to watch. Etc. Etc. Et Cetera.
Really in the scheme of things, Netflix raising prices of their all-inclusive DVD and streaming service from $9.99 to $7.99+7.99 isn't all that bad considering I used to pay over $5 for a few day rental from BLOCKBUSTER years ago.
As a customer, I'm not happy considering I am not getting more streaming movie options, but I understand their move from a business perspective. If another company has better prices for the services Netflix offers then maybe that company will do to Netflix what it did to BLOCKBUSTER. However, the reality is Netflix has a fairly good grasp on the market for the time-being.
I'll probably cancel my service just because I rarely use Netflix. I think I have had the same DVD out for 6 months now, and I don't stream enough to justify the price hike. However, true movie lovers shouldn't have anything to complain about. Whatever, whatever.
Some Netflix customers threaten to quit over price increases

Mr. Peanut Cracked Open
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!?!
Mr. Peanut Cracked Open
Finally cracked open Mr. Peanut and found two small, burnt, deformed peanut nuggets. I was hoping for a triple peanut or at least something edible.

New Orleans' Six Flags
New Orlean's Six Flags
As a follow-up to the posting about Disney reworking their Disneyland Amusement Park, I figured I share a gallery that was shared with me...
A couple weeks ago, my friend Brent turned me on to these photographs of the very dilapidated New Orleans' Six Flags. Very impressive photos! This could very well be a theme park in itself--art, graffiti, grunge, industrial, etc...
