The Social Network: The new “Behind The Music?”
I would highly recommend The Social Network as a great drama with good comedy. A really well-done film. Good acting, good director, good script. (just be warned not all facts are necessarily accurate). But what interested me about the film was how close it is to the story we love to tell about rock bands. Band gets together.

Always pulling out my phone whenever I went into a coffee shop or restaurant, for one. I'm consciously trying to reduce the number of times in a Read more…
The Colosseum at night … 9 iPhone photos autostitched together
I still intend to post a lot more pictures of our trip. But until then, here's a cool view of the Colosseum. The autostitching gives it a bit of a fish-eye look, so it looks a little small. But still, it's a beautiful building at night. I love the lighting.
