Facebook Ads, Work?

It's all relative. In their quest to provide the most data to their customers (advertisers, WE are the product), the task of keeping it relevant increases exponentially. Keep records is a huge job that NEVER ends.

Humans can have short attention spans, and those on idle time can skew the data.  Just because I looked at a robot vacuum twice this week does not necessarily mean I'll want to see ads for local maid services, or classes on robotics. It may have been pure boredom.
I really had no idea why certain people were targeted to see the ads I'd paid for on FB, and why they ignored them. The same ads performed well on online forums related to their subject matter.
-Do I want ads about my product displayed at what appears to be random?

I think the reason Google's ads work, is that they are more session- rather than user- focused. A visit to Google Search is an exercise in asking for information on a specific subject, at that time, which indicates an immediate interest, with displayed items that the user feels were desired entirely. The ads shown are relevant to a question on their part.
-Do I want ads that make it clear that I'm being monitored for my marketability?

A FB visit is more passive: the user is presented information that may be selected, based on the activity of related users. Part of that experience was in knowing those presentations were organic: from actual people you know. I believe a core value of the user experience has been lost, because that is no longer the case.
I have indeed asked friends if they'd referred me to a posting, only to find out they'd allowed a Bot to post as them when selecting something to do related to FB.
-Do I care if my friends are impersonated by machines?

WORST Helicopter, EVER!

You can spend less money, but you probably won't get a lousier copter than this turd. I'd call it a flying turd, but I've actually seen one, and those fly in a straight line, something the QiFel FreeBird Helicopter just cannot do.
A hapless shaking fit in the air, I am left with the conclusion that it's a hot mess in a box. While some Helicrapters seem to be possessed, this thing is merely addled. Hovering is the only talent it has, and the super tiny battery make sure it does this only sporadically. It's truly one of the worst toys in general, than I've ever witness.
And I buy a lot of junk in hopes of it being fun junk. Not this time. the box it came in was a better toy...for a cat.
It was broken as it came out of the box- the useless and silly tail feather was snapped in half. Superglue residue clued me: it had been boxed this way! What pure junk, it doesn't even have a real swash plate, it just slaps the rotor disk off kilter to affect flight direction.
This copter isn't remotely controlled at all: you just watch it begging to be killed.

FireBird Helicopters from HelizoneRC!

A stunning offering from the East: The Helizone Firebird helicopter came to America, and took the 3 channel world by storm. simply the best 3 channel heli to come along yet, the HelizoneRc Firebird has no equal. It even exceeds the quality of the Syma S107 helicopter that it was based on.
FAR from a CLONE, the HelizoneRC Firebird is a better copter in every way, and its refined flight behavior will immediately confirm this for the new pilot or experienced.
Beautiful in addition, this may be the World's Most Beautiful Helicopter.

3 channel Helicopter Site is UP!

A HUGE 3 channel copter enthusiast site, Killbucket's Helicopter and AirSharp is LOADED with timely and tru information on the latest helicopters you want, and want to avoid, too!
Come by the site, see my vast horde of flying toys, read a few reviews, and see some of the over 12,000 high resolution pictures of great toys guys are looking for at Killbuckets and air-sharp dot com.

Fanged Dentures Exist

 Wow, everybody lets me merge now. Funny how doing a double-take causes a (mortal) human to lift off the gas. At first, I looked at the wax models of the teeth and wondered if we shouldn't go a tiny bit longer with my canine teeth. Looking at these photos, I think my eyeteeth are perfect. I can choose to hide or show my vampire fangs at will.

Dr. David G. Cernik, Roseville, CA. Is a Wizard with false teeth. My custom-built Cosmetic Dentures fit like a glove, and the built-in fangs are awesome to live in. Thanks Doc!

My Dentist Made Me FANGS

Dentures With Fangs built into them.

NOT INTO Vampires, werewolves, or Things that Go Bump In The Night. OK, maybe the last one.
Heading into my 2nd Century with my old teeth just wasn't an option, I'd used them up!
While answering Dr. Cernik's questions at the beginning of this process, I realized I had some potentially fun options.
"Can I get fangs on them?"
He stopped, and it seemed as if his whole view of the job changed right there. He lit up and said we can do this, that, and in the end, we can always file 'em off if they don't work out. -I'd become an art project.
These are dummys. I get the real ones -finally- tomorrow.

Cartoons On a Chevy Truck

This silly bit of art was inspired by the Sharpie Lambo Gallardo. But this work has a nice twist: it was done in high-quality enamel, not ink, so it will never turn purple! I did the cartoons on the hood of the Chevy colorado in about five 2 hour sessions, and it was all designed on the fly- I didn't plan anything ahead, just drew whatever I wanted as I went along. Notice there isn't any erasing...possible...in the work. Rather than use Sharpie ink pens to do the car's exterior, I got several gloss black Testor's model gloss black paint pens. I made sure the hood was absolutely clean using rubbing alcohol, and went over it several times to be sure.  Then I started in the middle, and worked out from there, so I was never working over wet paint. I later gloss-coated it in clear enamel to lock it in.

Hardly-Ableson

1955 Harley-Davidson Panhead.   "They Leak Oil"

I'm pretty sure that's the name of a David Mann Painting.

All I can say is what I've learned with this 1955 Harley-Davidson Panhead.

The tires are always flat.

Corvette: A Word Is Worth A Thousand Pictures

Another artist who really inspires me, is George Trosley.

Not only does he have the talent to create images wriggling with life, he's made the jump from "underground" to "main-stream". 

My 1978 Corvette still has the original pop-out roof panels. It is possible that the rear view mirrors are also original, but I don't remember. virtually every body panel has been mercilessly stretched into absolutely comical proportions. The impregnant Radial T/A rolling stock barely escapes constant roasting from the Zoomie Pipes, the engine pushes its head skyward, distorting the hood panels as it goes. It is almost impossible to drive this car because the visibility is so poor (Despite this, I can honestly say it's gotten no trouble from the Sheriff or Highway Patrol).

Although fiberglass mat is usually used for glass body mods, this entire car was created from notebook paper and ink.

1940 Ford Coupe Does a Wheelie

My 1940 Ford coupe, Chopped. I've had this one since 1988, it hasn't seen the light of day once in all these years. Still in great condition as you see, there is absolutely no rust at all. The Gasser Look was popular at the time, and many cars with very good independent suspensions were converted with old Econoline Van axles. This was done to get most of the weight onto the lousy back tires we had, to hopefully improve grip. My '40 has Zoomie Headers, Big n Littles, a GMC 6-71 supercharger, and a hefty set of wheelie bars, which it very much needs, as you can see.

The Tudors

Nicer cars than people. My fender less 32 Ford Tudor HighBoy. Notice the finned Buick brake drums, King Bee headlights, dropped axle, filled top. Pinched frame rails really clean up the nose.

This Cat's Truck

A Chevy Truck cartoon.

Relax

Setting cats on fire is funny, as long at you don't really do it. This is a great example of how comedy works.

Fushigi Magic Floating Ball Secrets

It's called "contact juggling", and I think it may possibly be very, very lame. I could be wrong.

Menlo Park Survivor

In 1992, I was a quality inspector for Applied Immune Sciences. The company did a staged move to a new facility, leaving a small bunch of us behind for several months. We decided we needed T-shirts to solidify our little group of 15 employees. 

I did this artwork, and inked it in full color. Then we placed an order, -for 200 shirts!

The whole company wanted one. Mine's long gone to threads and discarded, but I'm lucky enough to own the original artwork. This drawing has not been seen in almost 20 years.

Cartoon Dog, More

More practice drawing here. A rickety old dog. I thought something was staggering, and did this pic to illustrate.

A Lone gunman. Bloodshot eyes, clearly deranged, and about to go Postal.

Some Dogs are No Better

I have 2 dogs, both certified troll face. I see this grin daily.
