Arrested Development Documentary Project

June 23rd, 2009 | Posted in funny, movies | No Comments

Neil & Jeff are the two self-proclaimed superfans behind the Arrested Development Documentary.

The overall goal of the documentary is to provide awareness and education of this brilliant, witty and original comedy. We are looking to interview viewers, cast, crew and any other industry figures that are fans or critics of the show.

I’m one of those schmucks that didn’t watch it when it was on tv, but came to the light thanks to the DVDs. Who knows if an actual AD movie will ever get made, so I’ll take whatever I can get

Jon Hicks is the lead UI designer for Opera & one half of the seriously talented Hicksdesign over in the UK. He’s also the brains behind one of my all-time favorite desktop pictures:

Outside of the office, he’s taken on a new project for his son called, Daniel’s Daily Monster

Every school day since May 7th I’ve been drawing a little Monster Card for my son Daniel’s lunchbox. Not totally sure why I started this, but he enjoyed the first one, and it’s become a ritual. Every morning when making his lunch, I give myself 5 minutes to draw a monster on paper from one of those memo pad things, give it a name and quickly photograph it with the iPhone.

Reminds me of Stefan G. Bucher’s famous “Daily Monster”

There aren’t a lot just yet, but be sure & check out the daily offerings at Daniel’s Daily Monster Tumblr page. I’m gonna do this for my own kids one day, except with headlines.

New music from my past by Pete Yorn

June 23rd, 2009 | Posted in music | No Comments

I discovered Pete Yorn on my first day at adschool in Miami when Tana gave me musicforthemorningafter. I remember listening to it just loud enough so the music would skim over the sounds of the beach.

Pete’s had a few cds since then, but other than his live stuff, his new disc Back and Fourth comes closest to his true sound. Pete’s mastered the combination of lovelorn lyrics, lush, delicate arrangements & the gentle, singer/songwriter rasp. Take a listen to two new tracks & his performance on last night’s Conan.

we support the people, not the government

It won’t say so on any map, but there seem to be two different Iran’s in the world. One of the repressive government & strict religious leaders. The other of the people, who generally think highly of America, are relatively progressive & want the Democracy that we have. We typically don’t hear about the Iranian people, just their insane government. Kinda like us under the Bush Administration. But, check out this clip from last night’s Rachel Maddow show. Watch what happens when the paramilitary comes storming in to break up a peaceful rally.
