For Nate

Nate,
You often post about one of your favorite artists, Olly Moss. I thought you might like this guy... Austin Madison. He's got quite the range when it comes to content, but his sketches about sports are really interesting to me.

Merry Christmas

Hobbit

I hear that there is a movie version (or two... or three) of the Hobbit that will be released a few weeks before Christmas. Since most of the family is going to be here (Indiana) right after Christmas I would like to suggest that as a family we go up to Indianapolis to see this in IMax/3D/48 frames per second. If we do Christmas Monday then we could do Tuesday at IMax or vice versa.

My plan is for this to be the first time that Katie and I see it.

Two-for-Tuesday, Rawlinz vz ZZ Top

Okay, I know that it's Wednesday, but this was too good to wait to post. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlins are quite possibly my favorite duo ever so what do you think... here's the Dave Rawlins Machine song, It Too Easy, covered by the legendary ZZ Top.

Enjoy.

Remix Your Monday

Something fun to try: 
Remix your own Monday by playing video 1 (LCD Soundsystem's - New York, I Love You...) with Miles Davis' - Louis Malle's Elevator scene.

 I recommend hitting play on Miles around the :32 second mark on New York...

Video Games

Some of my favorite video games made this list, although I didn't see my two all-time favorites "Wings of Fury" and "Blades of Steel." What about you? What games are on your list?

Henri 3, Le Vet

Apparently Dumb Dumb isn't the only house pet with an intellect.

Star Wars VII

We all new this was going to happen. It already happened. Lucas made I, II, and III and that should have never happened. He has remade IV, V, and VI and that should not have happened.

But, we should have known, since we all went to the theater and saw every single one of these. We gave him money. We condoned it. Its really in all honesty our fault that Jar Jar exists.

As I said over on facebook, I hope that Disney picks Stephen Herek to direct the next trilogy. I think his reputation speaks for itself... and I am serious. Bill and Ted, Mighty Ducks, and The Three Musketeers have the kind of humor and charm that the first three Star Wars films had.

He can just higher J.J Abrams or Chris Nolan to up his special effects.

Better Late Than Never

I realize that I missed celebrating Leif Erikson Day by a few weeks, but Edwardo just posted something over on his blog which reminded me.  Isn't it so much cooler to know that a viking discovered America instead of some whiny Italian guy...

You were not alone

You know those games you used to play in your head... on road trips, walking down the sidewalk, laying awake in bed? Apparently those original games you created are not that original...

But whatever you do, DO NOT STEP IN THE LAVA!

Will you wait?

There's some show on the BBC... not sure what the whole story is, but they have an online vintage 'mugshot' app --- you should check it out.http://www.bbcamerica.com/copper/mugshot-yourself/
