Hello again and welcome to another geek of the week. I hope you enjoyed last weeks post about the upcoming CS5 as much as I did. I am really really looking forward to using the new brush and cloning features. The speed of the new clone will save a lot of time and the new cloning features are still just blowing my mind.

This week I felt that I should learn ur sumptin good. If you want to have a career in lets say comics then you as an aspiring artist must always be looking around and taking notice of things. Things like when drawing a face the eyes should have about an eyes width between them. Another example is how when drawing landscapes objects get smaller and lighter in color the further they are away from you. Looking around you is a skill that all successful artist master. You may be the best observer though and still not know everything about certain objects. You cannot just pick up a rock and see the mineral structures to get a better understanding of the science of how the rock is. This is where your simple observations turn into research.

Research is fine and all but that takes time and sometimes a degree. We really don’t have time to get degrees we need to know some stuff fast. Luckily we have many options for learning on the quick. There have been some great TV series that help us. Sorry the horrible Heroes show will not help. Actually you could use your new looking around abilities to observe what a bad show looks like.

Mr Wizard and Look around you are two TV series that I’m pretty sure all scientists and doctors use one of these on a regular basis in order to learn the dynamic intricacies of life. If its good enough for Doctors and Scientists then it should be good enough fur us arteests. (I think that’s how you say it in French)

Mr. Wizard is the man. This guy will show you the proper techniques for using a pickle as an alternative to light bulbs by electrifying them. He is such a powerful wizard that he doesn’t even need a fancy lab to do the powerful experiments. Mr. Wizard just has no need for these things and continues to mock the scientific community by using children to carry out the experiments. He does all this to show everyone that science is really magic and that we should respect our wizards. Rumor has it that Mr. Wizard was the last apprentice of Merlin. Don’t let the end of the video where it says were just for kids. This was actually done purposely. Mr Wizard called everyone a kid and he liked to make fun of all the doctors and scientists trying to learn the real secrets of life. After Mr. Wizard tired of this series he disappeared never to be seen again. Some say the new movie Paranormal Activities is really Mr. Wizard just messin around with people. Haha Mr. Wizard real funny. Wizards have a weird sense of humor.

With the great vacuum created from Mr. Wizards sudden disappearance where were we to turn as a society for the truth about our world. The answer came from the show called Look Around You. Look Around You is a British TV series that came out in 2005. They picked up where Mr. Wizard left off teaching people once again the truths of science and the magic behind it. They took one subjects like calcium, math, germs, ghosts, iron, sulfur, water, music, and the brain in only their first season on the air. They went on to produce a second season but were not allowed to do a third. Apparently the times have changed and wizards are no longer welcome in this world. At least we cans still watch the videos they did make. You will find below some of my favorites from the series. first you have Iron and the second video is sulfur. Last is Ghosts. I think they were actually trying to find Mr. Wizard however no one is willing to confirm that.

LOL so I hope you enjoyed getting your lern on. I know I did. Come back next week to see some interesting things. Halloween is coming and so I will be devoting next week blog to something special. Before I go I must post one more from this great series. This is about the brain. All I can say is take it easy on you EBEs. Stree Fece is out!
