So, Spun has just been added to my Must See movie list. Why is it that this thing has already opened in New York, and here in Big Ass City, Los Angeles I still can’t see it? Where is the LA love? Oh, and I’ve now got a clock going on how long it will [...]

Toilets as Art
Posted in Photography (others) on Mar 16th, 2003
OK, well some of these images are beautiful. Some are decidedly not beautiful, and the one with the bison head (or whatever that was) scares me just a little bit. Still, MicHael Galkovsky’s Toilets series is worth a look.
Rain, Rain Go Away…
Posted in Cool Toys on Mar 15th, 2003
…You make my Bowflex too damn hard to use. I got a Bowflex about 8 months ago. I used it for a few months, then promptly through my back out (the fault of my massage chair, not the Bowflex (I think)). I started using it again in December. It works. I’ve seen some changes. I’ve [...]
Set your Tivos
Posted in TV on Mar 14th, 2003
Children of Dune starts on the SciFi channel on Sunday. I’ve always been just the hugest Dune fan. I liked the Lynch film (even though you really need to have read the books to get it, and if you read the books, then you’ll also get how very, very wrong it was). I LOVED the [...]
Excellent Self Portraits
Posted in Photography (others) on Mar 13th, 2003
I LOVE the photography of Asya Schween. It’s basically a series of self-portraits, but she went all out with these. Costumes and effects and… just Wow! It’s vanity. It’s anti-vanity. It’s art in a very real and personal way.
Some People are Funny
Posted in Web on Mar 13th, 2003
I was going to link to Skot’s very funny entry about terrible song lyrics, but he doesn’t seem to have permanent links. So instead I’ll just link to his entire site since it’s all good stuff. If you really want to read the one about the song lyrics, go to his audio club category and [...]
Telemarketing for List Capture
Posted in Marketing on Mar 12th, 2003
ClickZ’s article about using outsourced telemarketing for permission based e-mail list growth is very interesting for a number of reasons. Interesting to me anyway. Hmmm.. I need a dark corner in which to think for a while…
The Need to Believe
Posted in Other Media on Mar 12th, 2003
I think I may want to take the time to read The Need to Believe a little later. It’s the story of a child coming to terms with a parents artwork; trying to come to terms with its value and place in the world after the father’s death. I’d read it now, but my attention [...]
Girls Eating Sandwiches
Posted in Web on Mar 11th, 2003
Girls Eating Sandwiches is a hilarious send up of internet porn and fetish sites. It’s not quite as funny as something like Furniture Porn, but it’s still pretty funny. Fairly sure it is safe for work – I didn’t view every photo though, so click carefully. Thanks to Brittney for the point.
Case Studies: Real Life, Real Answers
Posted in Marketing on Mar 11th, 2003
We aren’t currently doing much in the way of creating case histories as a marketing tool. Still, I suspect that I’ll eventually want to find and refer to this marketingprofs.com story again at some point (if only for the Work section of my own site which has promised that case studies and portfolio samples would [...]
