Somebody posted a variety of pictures from Madrid’s bid book for the 2016 Olympic games. It’s beautiful; I want one, just to look at. I miss designing publications. ADDITION: killer – the Madrid bid committee has the three volumes of the bid book available in their entirety in PDF format on its web site, here. [...]
We’re a little over a week out from the opening of “Watchmen,” a movie I’m more excited to see than any other in a long, long time. I didn’t even have this level of anticipation for “The Dark Knight.” I finished my pre-screening homework tonight, completing my first read of my 20-year-old trade paperback collection [...]
Earlier this afternoon, I received an e-mail from an indy record store in Philadelphia called IsoTank (visit them here) letting me know that the new CD “Another Day Down” by Tapping the Vein was in stock and ready to ship.

I cannot possibly imagine a better way to spend $430… http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/12/flying.fortress/index.html?iref=mpstoryview World War II-era planes are one of the things that caught my imagination early on in my life. I watched “Black Sheep Squadron” religiously with my dad, falling in love with the F-4U Corsair in the process. I helped my dad build model planes [...]
