The Boy

Some recent photos of the boy. He's just growing up fast.

Parents, don't get rid of that old baby monitor

If you've got kids, you've probably got an old baby monitor in the attic or even sitting in the closet in your kid's room.  I had an idea tonight and it actually worked pretty well.  I wanted to listen to a new comedy album on Lala, but had dishes to do, so I took the monitor and set it next to a computer speaker and took the receiver into the kitchen.  Instant wireless speaker.  The sound quality is comparable to AM radio so it works well for NPR & the like.  Anyway, just thought I'd share. 

the new canvas

Very cool painting used for the cover of the New Yorker magazine, done on the iPhone.

Fringe is getting really good, folks

If you haven't watched Fringe yet, you've got a little time to catch up before new episodes begin again in April. This show just keeps surprising me with its inventiveness, plot twists, and humor. You can watch a bunch of episodes on Hulu for free and the ones that aren't there you can purchase in HD from iTunes if you just have to see them. Although...$3 for an episode of a tv show? Really?

Shepard Fairey on "Charlie Rose"

Good conversation between one of my favorite artists and one of my favorite former bosses.

Checkmate

Icy Run

It's not nearly as impressive as Josh's ice beard, but hey...what is, really?

Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny

I've been watching Spectacle, Elvis Costello's new talk/music program on Sundance Channel over the last few weeks and while I'm a big fan of Elvis's music, I'm less certain of his future as an interviewer.  I was blown away by this performance by Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden a couple weeks ago though.  I didn't know the song before I saw them play it here and I was kind of entranced when I heard it.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

The Swell Season

 For fans of the film "Once", Amazon.com has The Swell Season (Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova) MP3 album for just $2.99 today. Good deal for some good music, but I think it may just be for today.

Merry Christmas

 

The skies over North Georgia have been beautiful over the last week or so. I got home today and ran inside to grab my camera. I didn't want to miss this.

Horowitz vs. Theron

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Okay...favorite moments here are:
3. If you look VERY closely you can actually see Josh restraining himself the moment Steven Seagal says the words "essential oils".
2. Josh getting kicked...always fun
1. Charlize Theron's potty mouth

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen

I'm probably the last person on the planet to see this.  I have no idea if this is real and frankly, I don't want to know.  Just let me enjoy watching it over and over and over and over...
