OK Go. This too shall pass.

I loved their previous video with the treadmills because I'd never seen anything like it before. This Rube Goldberg machine is pretty incredible, but it's still not as interesting as that was. But still. Very well put together. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w?wmode=transparent]

Has anyone actually found LinkedIn to be useful?

I’m in a bit of a social media purging mode right now. I’m always willing to try out a new opportunity, and I’ve been quick to try a lot of the sites–Twitter, Facebook, etc. But every so often, I decide that my life needs a little more simplification, and I decide to cut back a bit. Last year I deleted my MySpace account and have not a single regret. I’m considering deleting my LinkedIn profile. For the life of me, I cannot figure out a good reason to stay on LinkedIn. It wasn’t particularly helpful looking for a job … Read more…

Scorcese’s homage to Hitchcock

via scorsesefilmfreixenet.com I liked Shutter Island fine, although it wasn’t all that it probably could have been. Maybe it was the last 18 months of commercials (at least it felt that long). That said, Scorcese’s commercial above was a great blend of parody and homage to Hitchcock. If you’ve got some time, you might enjoy this above.

Now that’s what I’m talking about …

Hello, Sun! Yesterday was worse that just rainy, we had a couple full-on squalls and downpours. Mary and I drove up to La Jolla during one of the breaks and looked around at the beaches and incredible houses. We also drove to Balboa Park and the Zoo, but the rain and at that time was pretty hard to take so we didn’t get out and explore. We spent most of yesterday afternoon going in and out of shops and restaurants in the gaslamp district. Today … who knows!? We’re only here through the mid-afternoon. We’ll see what we can find Read more…

California Get-Away

We're taking advantage of some cheap airfare and hotel discounts and spending the weekend in San Diego with a couple friends! Saturday's weather doesn't look so good but today and Sunday look pretty nice. I'll post some pictures as warranted.

Chuck’s good TV

I like TV. Good scripted TV especially. I'd call Chuck good TV. Funny, witty, and fully embracing of its own hokeyness. Good old fun. (I'd reference you to Season 1 of Heroes). It's balanced pretty well between being episodic (ie, Law and Order) and advancing a central story line (ie, Lost). Despite that, know going in to it is that it's fully a boy show. Lots of guns, lots of women in lingerie. Also, its first few episodes are a little weak. Like 30 Rock, the show takes a little while to find its way. But once it does, it gets good.
