DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO

I have no idea how long this will last - but according to the Cast and Crew section on the New York Times website, I have an incredibly diverse resume.

I’m pretty sure this happened when they data-mined my IMDB page and then didn’t input it correctly into their own system - all of these movies’ credits seem to be about half real and half House of Payne episodes.

In any case - it’s pretty amusing - -  “Tyler Perry’s Dracula Sucks” anyone?

The only real one on this list is One Missed Call - I really did work on that flick.

POSTCARD TRICK

April 21, 2008 | Filed Under funny haha, god bless the internet, mysterious | Leave a Comment 

a brilliant ebay-auction prank concept:

You are bidding on a rare chance to traumatize a treasured friend or relative with baffling, mind-numbing, mystery correspondence from abroad.

During the course of my holiday I will send three postcards to one person of your choosing.

These postcards will be rant-ravingly insane, yet they will be peppered withunmistakable personal details about the addressee. Details you will provide me.

The postcards will not be coherently signed, leaving your mark confused, guessing wildly, crying out in anguish.

and success!

GIANT LILY

April 14, 2008 | Filed Under god bless the internet, mysterious, video / film | 2 Comments 

i saw some of these at the san francisco botanical garden, but they weren’t nearly as fast.

they make me think of something you’d have to use as a platform in a video game… you’d
have to jump off real quick before it sinks ((or before the flowers getcha)).

anyway - jokes aside, this time-lapse film is pretty terrif.

 Old friend Kelly Kleinschrodt is a photographer / filmmaker in los angeles who I know from Alabama days.  I just got the link to her portfolio, {via zach sierke} and I’m super impressed.  Zach also sent along a bunch of Kelly’s ((really great)) newer photos not yet on her website, so keep an eye out for updates.



Time to get some new reading material

June 12, 2007 | Filed Under god bless the internet, reading | 1 Comment 

Apparently, McSweeney’s distributor filed for bankruptcy a while back, and now they’re feeling the crunch. Everything about this company is worth supporting — from their faith in their writers and artists, to the writing workshops they do for those city-kids, to all the other great here-and-there things (Believer, Wolphin, McSweeneys.net). Everything they do is wonderful. It’d be real sad shame if they had to stop because of financial burdens.Here’s what they posted today that clued me in:

As you may know, it’s been tough going for many independent publishers, McSweeney’s included, since our distributor filed for bankruptcy last December 29. We lost about $130,000—actual earnings that were simply erased. Due to the intricacies of the settlement, the real hurt didn’t hit right away, but it’s hitting now. Like most small publishers, our business is basically a break-even proposition in the best of times, so there’s really no way to absorb a loss that big. We are committed to getting through and past this difficult time, and we’re hoping you, the readers, who have from the start made McSweeney’s possible, will help us.

This is not a huge company, and it probably is a textbook case in which every little bit helps. So check out their store and buy some stuff. Oh! and EVERYTHING is on sale - some stuff at steep discounts. (English as She is Spoke for $4.50?!)They’re auctioning off rare and cool inventory things, too, like books with little doodles in them by the authors, and the like — Obviously, a lot of that is expensive, but the regular stuff isn’t.I picked up the Collins Library Bundle and What is the What (which I’d been meaning to get for a while now anyway) for not much more than it would’ve cost to buy only What is the What at Barnes and Noble, and this way I know I’m supporting a fine cause.This is the kind of company that truly deserves success. Isn’t it our responsibility to help them get there? They have a lot of cool stuff up for grabs, for cheap — so It’s a pretty win-win situation, if you ask me. And in case you don’t know how to read, they even have some cool t-shirts. So no excuses. go forth! Save McSweeney’s!
