It’s great to see what’s possible when Adobe Lightroom is in the right hands.

There’s a reason this site is called ‘Daily Exhaust’. Most of the time I use to capture things of artistic, cultural or technological significance, but sometimes it’s just to vent. To get exhaust out of my engine.

After watching John Stewart’s great interview with George Carlin back in 1997 , I’m even more aware of just how horrible a job Dave Letterman did interviewing Led Zeppelin the other day (via Jim Dalrymple).

From Dave’s stammering and stuttering to his borrowing of Jack Black’s jokes, the whole thing just felt really awkward.

Dave’s lucky the gentlemen in Led Zeppelin are not only amazing musicians but culturally astute and funny bastards.

Screen Junkies just posted a new Honest Trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (via Laughing Squid).

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one acutely aware of the gaping plot holes and inconsistencies in The Dark Knight Rises. It paled in comparison to The Dark Knight (2008).

Bryan didn’t dig it either.

John Stewart interviews George Carlin. 1997. Fucking awesome.

I like how Carlin refers to his alcoholic father (that he never knew) as brilliant, but “couldn’t metabolize ethanol efficiently.”

Not to mention his great insights into drugs, work ethic and how he saw himself as an artist on a journey, not necessarily just a comedian.

Apple updates the iWork apps for iOS, improving their compatibility with Microsoft Office.

…and the relevancy of Microsoft Office continues to diminish.

It’s no wonder Apple continues to make inroads in the enterprise market.

*As this site matures, I think it makes sense to point out corrections. I appreciate when readers take the time educate me on things I’m clueless on (it happens a lot).

And yes, for the time being, I’m adopting the ‘kottke approach‘ to updates.

Also: Fellow Exhauster Bryan recently enlightened me on the corrections page on NYTimes.com.

I want to give a shout out to Outgrow.me – “The first marketplace for successfully funded Kickstarter & Indiegogo projects.”

One of the founders, Sam Selig, reached out to me a few months ago and asked me if I was interested in selling the posters from my Kickstarter project on their site. Seemed like a win-win to me—I get a chance to sell my extra posters and have them alongside other great projects.

Browse around their site, there’s some really great (and weird, and funny) products to buy.

President Obama pays tribute to Led Zeppelin.

Hell yeah. The best rock ‘n roll band ever.

I want to give a shout out to Squarespace, the new hosting provider for my portfolio, The Combustion Chamber.

I launched The Combustion Chamber in 2001. Over the last 11+ years I’ve always done my own updates and redesigns to the site. I’ve written my own Actionscript in Flash and my own HTML & CSS.

This current iteration is the first time I’ve used third-party tools to create and administer my portfolio. I’ve been tinkering with with Squarespace since I signed up a few months ago and I’ve found it to be great for both geeks and non-geeks alike. It’s intuitive but lets you get into the code if you want to.

Note to Geeks: Squarespace, as it stands now, is intended for managing one domain (or multiple domains resolving to one). I would love if they provided the ability to administer multiple domains from their awesome configuration area. This doesn’t seem to be part of their business model nor something they’re interested in. I still love the service, but my use of it as a web designer and part-time developer will be limited to just one domain (for now). Also check out their Developers Area.
