Awesome Books : Dear Gretchen
Visualizing with handmade paper graphs the frequency of words, topics, and phrases in notes from childhood, Dear Gretchen is a fancinating and visually stimulating book put together by Gretchen, INC. Amazing. Check it out. PS: Her site is beautiful as well. Cheers!
THE NEW BIKE!
I can’t believe I haven’t even mentioned this yet: Last week, I GOT A NEW BIKE! Well, it’s definately new to me. And it just so happens to be the super-classy ride seem above-a Ted Williams Free Spirit bike from Sears. And though that’s not techinally me in that picture, it might as well be,...
“Cowboy Needs a Horse” : Classic Disney Short
My last post reminded me of this classic. I freakin’ love this cartoon, and let’s just say that I get this song in my head all the time…. PS: did you know that Disney released a ton of DVDs with collections of their old cartoons? The library here in town has the whole collection, and...
Coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile…
You know, they teach you as a kid that chameleons change color, but until you’ve seen one walk across a set of old school Ray Ban sunglasses, and see it for yourself, you really haven’t lived. I freakin’ love Nature

Movies to See : Away We Go
Today, I asked myself, “Why don’t you post more stuff about movies that are awesome?” And I had no reply. It is true-I freakin’ love movies, just like every other person on this planet that has ever experienced the joy of sitting in a dark theatre with strangers and eaten popcorn out of a tub*....
If you follow every dream, you might get lost.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Neil Young today. Other than Harvest, I think the newer Prairie Wind would have to be my favorite Neil Young record…Even though Gold Rush is awesome too. Cheers!
Secret Lives of Comic Store Guys (& a Girl)
Ok, let’s just be honest here: I’m pretty nerdy breed when it comes to people. I work on computers for a living; I love robots; I can (do on a frequent basis) have conversations about HTML, CSS, C#, and the cons of Vista; and I also revel in exciting anticipation between MacBook releases. But there...
The Moustache Mug : Urban Outfitters
In you are unaware, I have a collecting complusion, I think, and one of the collections I have emassed over the last few years, apart from other things, has been a mug collection. This mug found over at Urban Outfitters may have to be made mine very soon. Featuring a collection of the some of...
Sorry, friends…
I apologize for kind of sucking it up the last few weeks with my inconsistant posting. I can’t borrow the internet anymore from someone in my neighborhood like before, so that’s caused my “free time” at work to be used for crap I would normally use the internet at home for (YouTube, bills, etc), and...
John Updike
As some of you may know, the great American writer John Updike passed away recently, but I can’t really say anything about him that hasn’t already been said about his greatness. Updike, over the past few years, has became one of my favorite writers, and after reading the short story A&P in a literature class...
FallingWater Amimated Short
Fallingwater from Cristóbal Vila on Vimeo. Ok, I’m not, in the general sense, a huge fan of 3D animation or videos featuring a lot of it, but this one is definately note worthy. I took at 3D animation class in college and had to do a short animated commercial, like 30sc long. It took me...
Van Gogh Mouse
I usually don’t have an affinitity for tiny plush animals in some kind of novelty garb, but this was too funny/weird/cute to not say something about it. The House of Mouse over at Etsy has a huge collection of these tiny handmade mice that are dressed in various characters, everything from Star Wars to Emo...
