The download section of our site hasn’t been updated recently due to an over-abundance of things to do outside of the realm of shameless self-promotion. However, it seems that the downloads are still kicking up web traffic, via hdw.eweb4.com/, an online desktop download location. Seems that some of the first of our desktop downloads made the list, but a few of our favorites were missing, so we’re scratching our heads.

Here at AC we’re in favor of obsessions. A life without passion is a life half-lived.
So huzzah for the dedication of The Bodycounters, who catalog the death counts of most of your favorite flicks following a strict set of self-imposed rules such as, “Dream sequences do NOT count, but flashbacks DO.”
The entries range from informative to richly descriptive. For instance, nouveau cult film Zombie Strippers killed off 43 people and a fly — pretty straightforward. However, the report for the spoof Kung Pow: Enter The Fist chronicles an intriguing hodgepodge of deaths: “43 people, a dog, 2 moths, a big toe, a stomach plug and one French alien UFO.”
Note well the 007 films, which specify how many of James Bond’s love interests get whacked, and also Samuel L. Jackson’s movies, which include a count of the number of times he utters his famed compound curse word.
They count, so you don’t have to … though now you may be inspired to play along at home.

Three years and 80 million dollars later, the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health is finally finished. Frank Gehry’s design looks like more of the same from the octogenarian architect, until you consider the purpose of the Las Vegas building. Gehry’s signature unfurling (or perhaps furling, who am I to assume) metal facades and cockeyed Dr. Seussian windows befit a hospital for the study and treatment of wonky noggins. His style matches the project perfectly.
If you would like to geek out more on this fine specimen of a building, see this review in the Los Angeles Times.

Over the last couple of years of taking pictures, I’ve always found that light painting is one of those things that is simply just “cool”. There are so many possibilities with it that you can really experiment and come up with some great ideas and make some great images.
At it’s very basics, light painting photography is using a long exposure to capture some light source over time. It can be done with a direct drawing with light or using that light to “paint” an object to make it pop in an image. I’ve written up a brief explanation of what you need and how to get started.

Pentagram.com has released a handy instrument that can tell you which type of “Type” category that you fall into. Take the test here.
Through a series of questions, posed by a pseudo-psychiatric video moderator, you can determine if you are the happy go-lucky type, or the down to earth pragmatic type. Think of this as a simplified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for all of those designers and typophiles out there.
