1 week agoSomething interesting happened in New York City yesterday. The ads vanished, came back, vanished again, some art went up, some more ads were posted, cops were called, 5 arrests were made…. I wonder if anyone shot any cool footage of the day’s events? [wink]

2 weeks agoTony Hawk talks with Tom Green, bitterness erupts.
I’m an enormous fan of Tom Green, or at least an enormous fan of who Tom Green used to be. This is an interesting glance into the things that had a negative impact on his life. He’s kidding around, but you can tell he means it. His sincere bitterness dwelling in the past probably explains the crappiness of his content in the present.
Note to self: When your first show gets cancelled… keep moving forward.

A badass group of NIN fans put together all the fan shot footage from the Webster Hall show in August, and released their edit of the whole concert. Being that this was the most epic concert I have ever been to (it was one of their last shows ever and they played The Downward Spiral in its entirety from start to finish), to say that I am totally psyched about this would be an understatement.
Full Disclosure: One of my shots made it into the project and I’m credited as a camera operator. But if anything, doesn’t that make this even more badass?!?
Video is of the opening song: Mr. Self-Destruct

Consumer Tuesday: The Dog Saw a Magic Mouse
Lots of captivating consumable crap usually comes out on Tuesdays. Today was no different, as Apple dropped some futuristic (present?) gadgets and Malcolm Gladwell released a book.
Apple released Magic Mouse. Their latest mouse which features a smooth surface without any buttons, that reads gestures and touch input (think trackpad). $69 is pretty steep for a mouse, but these features are pretty rad and will probably enhance your computer experience for the better. Worth it just for not having tracking ball that stops working because you got schmutz on it.
Apple also released new 16:9 iMacs that can finally function as an external monitor (not that you’d want them too, they are up to quad core processors).
As per the intellectual side of consumerism, my favorite author, Malcolm Gladwell, released “What The Dog Saw.” Malcolm Gladwell has written the fascinating books on social theory: “The Tipping Point,” “Blink,” and “Outliers”. This book is a collection of his writings from the New Yorker, which he wrote while writing the books I wrote about at the beginning of this paragraph that I just finishing writing.

What are your views on advertising?
Advertising is bizarro art. Both are cut from the same cloth, but what sets them apart is intent. Art is driven, at least in theory, by the desire to express oneself. Advertising is driven by the desire to promote a product or service. Often times the two overlap making it hard to tell the difference. As long as there’s money to be made there’ll be advertising. I can’t deny that. With development of technology and the market comes increasingly elaborate ad campaigns. Sometimes the campaigns are funny. Sometimes they’re artful. But one thing I’ll never accept is public advertising no matter how clever the campaign is.
