And it’s of Effie!

Not a huge surprise that I find this to be a cool thing. :)

The Life photo archive is online and searchable. And most of them seem to be high res!

I’m all for experimenting with food, but bacon infused vodka is where I have to draw the line.

A very interesting looking documentary about mothers who are also working artists.

The women in Boll’s film who’ve managed to successfully balance child-rearing with art-making usually have done so by deftly incorporating their children into their passion, sometimes literally having their kids painting or sculpting right alongside them…

I think Homer Simpson did this once:

Your brand is not my friend

Like a reformed tax-and-spend politician who’s suddenly seen the light, ad agencies are busy telling anyone who’ll listen that they’re not about selling anymore. No, what they’re into now is “storytelling” and “conversation.” Because you see, consumers aren’t really customers anymore. They’re friends. But come on guys, who are you really fooling? Your brand is not my friend.

Don’t know why, but this reminds me of Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings.

No, really - it works:

“There’s a kid. Sprawl kid. Army brass’s daughter. Biowar virus attack fried her nerves out at 19 months. She can’t see or hear, can barely vocalize. She’s been to specialists everywhere. Everywhere legal. But nothing worked.”

“My heart goes out,” Hojima spat, “but what the hell does that have to do with me?”

“You’re going to splice Helen’s nerves back, Colonel. Let her see the sun again, hear music.”
