So Happy Together
Very often people oddly put books against the internet…I love them. You don’t throw away your books when you buy a computer. You keep both. The beauty of living in the present day is you don’t abandon the past. The past co-exists.

A Serious Post
02-OCT-09: The Coen Brother’s A Serious Man
Like much of the Coens’ work, the climax is unexpected and thrilling, confounding and infuriating. The lack of high-profile performers lends an authenticity to the project, making it feel lived-in and real, instead of “Here’s a bunch of our famous friends in a vanity project.” Though never as absurd, [...]

Best Infomercial
NASCAR as we have come to know it must die. If ever there was a case for assisted suicide, it is present-day big league stock car racing. I suspect we’ve find ourselves at the bedside of this morbidly obese, gluttonous, gaudy reflection of society after following a predictable path. An arc. A gently rising arc [...]
Recession Proofing
This isn’t going to be the “we are awesome designers and make shit look cool” value. This is going to be the “this design will make this thing work and improve efficiency, increase sales, and save money” value. If you’re not doing that for someone, somehow, you are in trouble.

The Perils of Peeing in the Woods
Two days after he got lost wearing only pants, a ball cap and shoes…Mr. MacIsaac seemed in pretty good spirits for someone who had spent two nights sleeping shirtless on the forest floor.

A Halifax-born version of the Turkish doner kebab, a dish made from meat sliced off of a vertical spit
“Essentially, we really wanted to identify what the risks were with the product and put in place strategies to deal with those risks,” said Mike Horwich, Nova Scotia’s director of food preparation and a member of the federal committee.

Busting stupid moves in a big sweaty crowd
If you’re going to get into a situation like this (especially a Windom Earle show) expect to get drenched with sweat; not only yours, but that of the people around you too.

Dan Norman
There’s something about a recording that when you feeling like you’re going your voice is going on tape you’re liable to, well, do some little thing, make a little slip in saying a word or something in the song that just won’t be perfect. It’s human nature I guess to be a little bit nervous [...]

Actors with Passable Voices
…she comes across as a touch slow, as if she’d been hit in the head with a blunt object before she got to the studio. Or, at least, as if she should have been.

Tats
In only a few short years, we find that the “tribal tat” we were staring at in every dance club on the Jersey shore has become a 20-color tableau of Bea Arthur giving Alex Trebek a hand-job on the calf of the professional dog walker ahead of us in line at the community gardens bike [...]

Macevangelist
Mac home users are constantly derided as some kind of “cult”, completely in thrall to Steve Jobs. But it’s Microsoft that has created an entire church, with priests, acolytes and altar boys (also known as “Access developers”).
