This clock, designed by Sebastian Wrong (really his name!) is excellent not only for its style, but because it’s a freakin’ FLIP CLOCK! Sweet! There’s a larger version that includes the day of the week, day of the month, and the month name, but something about the proportions of this one and the limit to 2 different type faces at once (more than that gets kinda noisy) strikes my as just right. It’s pricey, so it’s not in my future, but I guess that’s just the price of art.
I watched the film adaptation of Glengarry Glen Ross last night – I won’t go in depth here, but the short version is excellent acting, sometimes interesting film making, and a pace that unfortunately doesn’t keep up with the play. 4/5.
“a recent breakup results in a montage of memories and scattered events.”
That’s what film maker Isiah Flores has to say about his short film “Holding Hands” on his Vimeo page. See for yourself – it’s breathtaking.

Despite his most thinly-veiled comments, we all know he’s guilty.
Holy CRAP:

Today I decided that I’d ditch Sage – the Firefox extension I use for feeds at work – for NewsGator’s FeedDemon. So far, so good – though it’s definitely a bit clunkier than NetNewsWire (seriously, what is it with camel case everybody?) and isn’t 100% analogous in functionality.
What I’m MOST interested in, however, is the NewsGator Online feature – the ability to sync my feeds between the Mac at home, and the computer here. This way when I get back to the house I don’t have to wade through the news items I’ve already read here at my desk.
Wow…that’s a nice start. I have the personal (that is, FREE) version of EE installed on my server, and setup was a breeze.
I just have the default template up for now, and I haven’t touched a thing, but you can peep it (Piep it?) on this subdirectory:

Okay, so I decided to see what all the fuss about ExpressionEngine is, and I’m in the process of installing it in a sub-domain of my site right now. More to follow, so for you non-tech types, you’ll have to pardon the possibly semi-frequent posts about nerdy stuff in over the next few days.
Great pickled apple blossoms! New Kids on the Block is reuniting?!?!?
It’s news like this which tempts me to believe, like Job’s friends, that I’ve done some sinful thing to deserve such a horrible reality. I remember when my late Pop Pop, meaning well, gave my brothers and I some NKOTB trading cards (to be fair, he also gave us Batman trading cards). We taped them to our dressers and threw darts at them.
Here’s hoping this is short (if at all) lived.

Who knew? Apparently the Beatles were banned from Israel in 1965 for fear of corrupting the youth. Well now Israel wants them back in order to celebrate the 60th birthday of the modern incarnation of the state.
