If I could find some of these online I’d buy it in a second.

The new Cohen Brother’s movie, No Country for Old Men (NYT review here), is set to open nation-wide on November 21. The movie is an adaptation from Cormac McCarthy

This is just great. Chris Anderson the Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine and the author of The Long Tail has had it with PR flacks and he is fighting back. I’ll let him explain from a recent blog post of his.
I’ve had it. I get more than 300 emails a day and my […]

I’m not sure the exact “category” art like this falls into. I don’t know, maybe a “modern day” Hieronymus Bosch? But I could look at stuff like this for hours on end. Go take a look at his art. A lot of neat stuff.

Today at lunch it is a trip to Best Buy to pick-up the Twin Peaks Definitive Gold Box Edition. This is a ten DVD set of David Lynch’s “cult like” TV series. I missed Twin Peaks the first time around and somehow in reruns. But folks that have very similar tastes in books, movies, and […]

Tickets are in hand for Body Worlds 3 at the St. Louis Science Center. I can’t wait. One of the things I miss about living in Washington DC is all the great exhibits that come through town, like the current Edward Hopper show at the National Gallery of Art.
What has been pretty amazing is all […]

Pop! Tech, a very cool and unique conference is streaming live (Windows Media Player required) from October 18-20. The conference is unlike any I am aware of. Pop! Tech brings together more than 500 visionary thinkers in the sciences, technology, business, design, the arts, education, government, and culture. If you have a couple minutes over […]

The fabulous American painter Edward Hopper has an extensive exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC from October 16 to January 21, 2008. For those that are not in DC there is a wonderful interactive exhibit you can view here. Take special note of the Closer Look section where they break down […]

I flat out love books so this chair from Nobody & Co. is one of the neatest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve got an “empty” bedroom in my house where I’d love to have two of three of these. That would be neat. The only thing I’d change is the top row […]

Eureka returns to the Scifi channel tonight, which is a good thing. I’m a little of a science fiction bulf, and although not a hardcore show, it has some neat and funny story lines. A nice way to get away from the stress of life and relax for an hour or so. Check it out […]

Look, I’m an ad guy and proud of it. But it is a sad day in American with a fairly large American city, can’t afford to replace 100 of their 140 car fleet so they are now selling 3 by 1 foot ads on the rear quarter panels of each car for $15,000. Toledo, Ohio’s […]

Well the iPhone has been out for a few days and it appears, for the most part, to be standing up to expectation levels, which of course were out of control based on the pre-launch hype. Below is a round-up of reviews and videos from sites and bloggers I respect.
iPhone First Impressions
Overall day one impression: […]

TNT seems to be the first major media outlet that gets why having videos of their programs on their site is important. Other channels run ads pushing viewers to their sites, but generally the reasons cited to visit are pretty weak IMHO. I mean I don’t want to join a message board about Lost, download […]

One of the underlining concepts of Steven Johnson’s Everything is Bad is Good for You is the Sleeper Curve. Taken from Woody Allen’s mock sci-fi film, Sleeper has a sequence where scientists from 2173 are stunned, amazed even that twentieth-century society failed to realize the nutritional merits of cream pies and hot fudge.
Johnson builds off […]
