My sister is a smart lovable gal. Sometimes she is wrong and she hates it when people point this out to her. She responded to my recent Oscar predictions post with some interesting comments. She said,
I won’t remember Avatar in ten years. Hell, I can barely remember it now; I had to go re-read a review to [...]
The fires in LA are both incredible and sad. The sight of them is unlike anything i’ve seen. Take a look at this video that Toby put up (click on it to watch video):

In the film, the main character is a guy who writes greeting cards. While this is his job, he’s actually an architect. When i heard this, the movie immediately became less original and unique

The rules are that once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, [...]
I just read a great article by Clive Thompson called “Head for Detail” about Gordon Bell’s latest experieement. Please just read the first 2 paragraphs. It’s about Gordon and how he is recording everything he’s doing (video, audio, emails, web, everything). He’s been doing it for the past 14 years and is able to bring [...]
An interesting article (Read the Article at HuffingtonPost) was sent to me today about the “quarterlife crisis” that people experience around the age of 22-26.
This is a common statement i’ve heard by many people. I think much of it stems from the expectations of family and society (aspirational TV, for example) going up and the [...]
