Here is a guy by the name of Corey Goldfeder who used Back to the Future to propose to his girlfriend in one of the most creative and unique ever imagined. Goldfeder’s plan was pretty intricate. First, he spent 15 hours using a digital camera, a make-shift green screen and a 30-day free trial of Pinnacle [...]
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 [...]
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): It makes me reflect on my time here in LA. As some of you know, i’m moving to Denver in the [...]
Last month i saw the film 500 Days of Summer. I have a few thoughts about it: 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 to me. Being an [...]
As everyone knows, Michael Jackson died last Friday from heart complications in LA. While i wasn’t shocked by his death, I was amazed by the reaction both by people and the media.

All thanks to the laws of economics and biology. A the book describes, one of the best predictors of polygamy in a [...]
A few months ago i read the book Elsewhere USA at danah boyd’s suggestion. It didn’t disappoint. While it wasn’t as good as last year’s Generation Me (which i couldn’t stop blogging about), it did have some good insights. The point of the book is the strange paradox that is occuring in America. People used [...]
Image via CrunchBase I got tagged in Facebook to do one of these lists. I really enjoyed reading some of my colleagues and some of my old friends from high school so i thought i’d put one together. The rules are that once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 [...]
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 [...]
