This bit from one of my favorite stand-up acts by Eddie Izzard came to mind in light the the recent presidential debates here in the U.S.:

Speaking of great films I’ve discovered, I highly recommend Craigslist Joe.

It’s about a guy who lives completely off Craigslist for an entire month and has some really amazing and touching experiences with people along the way:

Although it’s 2 years old, Linotype: The Film is new to me and looks awesome. It started as a Kickstarter project in 2010.

After seeing a few concerts recently at the Greek Theater I began to think again about something I’ve always wondered about—are opening bands prohibited from using ‘premium’ lighting effects on stage? Or is it quite simply that most times, opening acts don’t have the budget to afford fancy visuals?

Even the sound quality of the main performer/band is always richer, as if, like the lighting, they’re given access to the better sound equipment.

It’s clear why you wouldn’t want the opening band to upstage the featured one, but I’m just curious if these are unspoken rules musicians follow, if it’s in writing or if it’s simply just not having the money to do something better.

Growing up in the 80’s, the Lamborghini Countach was THE sports car but a close runner up was Tom Selleck’s Ferrari 308 on Magnum, P.I.

John Gruber on Google’s new $249 Chromebook by Samsung:

“You know what I’d like? An ARM-based computer that doesn’t run anything other than a web browser and gets only 6.5 hours of battery life.” —No One

I can think of one classy guy who would might like one.

And we know how that ended.
