Last weekend we added this little dude to the fam.
SXSW
A little slow getting stuff posted lately. Here are some pics from South By Southwest. Brisket, Okra, and Yams at Stubbs. Google waterfall. Crazy native in front of a call mural. Little girl in the Lego pile. Deer head with Oakley blades. That’s Texas folks.
Sonoma county excersion

Nuggets stomped out Kazaam
With a performance that rivaled his work in Kazaam, Shaq was basically non existent. he was getting handled by Eddy and Linus for gods sake. Nuggets stopped out the Suns, here is what it looked like from court side.

Spike Jonze X Maurice Sendak - Where the Wild Things Are Peek
Rumors have been circulating for a while that the Spike Jonze interpretation of Where The Wild Things Are has the folks at Warner Bros. a little unhappy. The release date has been pushed back to 2009 and it has been widely circulated that they are re-shooting portions of the film. Either way, the fact that he stayed away from the CGI overkill and the amount of pure nostalgia that is wrapped up in this story, I’m guaranteed for the price of admission. Here are a few stills and a link to what little test footage is out there. Enjoy, I’m really looking forward to this one. The clip can be found here.
GIJoe Stop Motion festival in Denver
Photographing action figures in real world settings. Sounds random. Making a movie starring all of the toys from your parents attic. This is starting to sound a little weird. Turns out there is a whole scene for this type of thing. A local Denver guy is the Cobra Commander of the movement. He has created Pond Patrol, an episodic web site that chronicles the story of some characters and their special ops adventures. Their traveling animation fest is coming to Denver. Who’s in? This I gotta see.
Most of this applies to you
I came across this blog today and it is pretty hilarious. Things White people like.

Project Runway Season 4 Spoiler
I was shown a photo spread of the finalists’ collections as shown on the runway. Looks like Rami and Chris both show. If you are interested in seeing the collections…..
NERD ALERT - I’m huge in Korea
I can only hope that nothing I said was too lost in translation, but a proud moment non the less. The firm was just profiled in a big Korean design mag translated as Websmedia. This the the design annual that features talent from around the world. We were the only USers to get a nod. Apparently I forgot how old I am - or perhaps that was content strategy.
Serious Scrawl
An infill developer in SoHo came across an old mural inside of a scrape when he removed parts of the kitchen. Turns out to be what is thought to be one of the original graffiti pieces ever. Fab5Freddy, Futura2000, and Basquiat can all be found on the wall. Obviously the fact that graffiti is so often covered up by other writers or property owners make this a particularly relevant find. Preservation attempts are under way and the buzz amongst curators is pretty high. Looks like somebody’s going to have a pretty cool kitchen.
