TV Show: My Name Is Earl

Thank goodness it’s getting decent ratings. It’s funny, clever, inventive, and appropriately crass. It’s probably the second-best comedy after Arrested Development (which continues to languish, ratings-wise.) Anyway, if you like to laugh, set your Tivo to Earl.

Movie Review: Crimen Ferpecto

In an effort to use discount cards before they expire, we headed to see Crimen Ferpecto(unfortunately retitled “El Crimen Perfecto” in the US), an intense, madcap Spanish farce about a lothario whose life goes… awry. I’m wary of saying more about the plot because this is definitely a movie where the less you know, the [...]

Final Thoughts – AIGA Boston

Yesterday I flew back from the AIGA 2005 Design Conference. A bunch of thoughts rattling around. I’ll try to get some out.
Bill Strickland is an inspiration. He’s doing great work, and he presents it in great style.
It was fun to see the development of “America: The Book,” presented by Ben Karlin and Paula Scher. [...]

“Design Thinking” as ipecac

I had the opportunity to chat with Michael Bierut, partner at Pentagram and former president of the AIGA, at the Design Observer/Speak Up party last night. I asked him what he thinks of the “design thinking” meme. He remarked that, if he started talking “design thinking” within Pentagram, Paula Scher, another partner, would throw up. [...]

Quick Thoughts – AIGA Boston

After a poor night’s sleep (forget to bring the melatonin), I rolled into the main (massive) auditorium for the AIGA Boston conference.
John Hockenberry is MCing the event, and doing so with an engagingly loose vibe. It doesn’t always work (an attempt to have “funny phone calls” live on stage fails because we can’t hear [...]

Rebecca Solnit on Disaster

Making its way across the blogosphere is Rebecca Solnit’s essay for Harpers on “The Uses of Disaster,” which I’m guessing was written well before Katrina, and so is disturbingly prescient. She added a postscript specific to the recent tragedy.
It’s very much worth reading. Solnit’s an excellent, and highly passionate and opinionated, writer. She’s something of [...]

Battlestar Canadia

So, we’ve definitely gotten hooked on Battlestar Galactica (the kidz call it BSG), and one thing that we’ve found… well… just funny is how it is essentially a Canadian production. I mean, beyond being shot in Vancouver, the bulk of the actors are Canadian, and don’t try to hide it. I mean, Col. Tigh, played [...]
