Objectified: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit - Trailer

I’m probably more psyched for Objectified than any other film in the last few years. Gary Hustwit, director of Helvetica, speaks to industrial designers ranging from Jonathan Ive to Karim Rashid to Naoto Fukasawa, all designers I admire in my fantasies of moving beyond the digital design realm.
The trailer was just released today:

TV + Web

With friends, I tend to tone down the geek talk. Mostly because by talking about things not tech related away from the day job it reminds me that I’m a real person with interests outside of the web.
One thing I will talk freely (and perhaps geek-ily) about though is the convergence of TV and the [...]

Happy New Year

I just returned from a quick getaway to Ottawa with the lady (via Porter Air, which despite some delays returning, I highly recommend).
Great news upon my return too including the Raptors handedly defeating the (healthy) Houston Rockets, ImageSpark getting warmed-up for it’s launch and my Theory shades arriving; a sweet Christmas gift courtesy of Liz. [...]

Nike and Kobe: Shield Your Eyes This Holiday

A Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season!

The folks at Nike would probably like to remind you to stay off the roads during bad weather conditions, especially if you’re wearing the new Zoom Nike Kobe iD editions, because you will blind the shit out everyone and cause a traffic pile-up.
Don’t forget, the best [...]

Rick James, Neil Young and NPR

I’ve been substituting NPR’s Fresh Air Podcast (links to iTunes Store) for music during my morning walk in to work. I have to say, it’s probably the most entertaining and insightful thing I’ve experienced since I first saw Jeopardy as a kid.
The topic’s range from politics to comedy to music and more. Recent interviews [...]

I Love my Bibimbap, Bibimbap, Bibimbap…

BlogTO comes through with a top 10 of the Best Bibimbap in the city . The Korean dish is a personal favorite and something I didn’t even discover in Toronto, but in Las Vegas of all places, at a 24-hr Korean resto on the strip, across from Circus Circus. (All class, I know).

A Stronger Case for the iPhone’s Supremacy: $$$

Newsweek talks about how the right app at the right price is making some serious coin for iPhone developers. We’re talking six to seven figures in less than a year. The real story is how Apple, using their learnings and successes from the iPod and iTunes eco-system, have built an incredibly ubiquitous and low-barrier distribution [...]

The shoes? The shoes?! It’s…possibly not related to the shoes

I twisted my ankle something wicked last Sunday playing ball at Hoop Dome (which by the way has some serious runs on the weekend if it’s worth the drive to you). Hence I’ve been hobbling around, using elevators and trying in general to just focus on work and not on blogging, reading or other tasks [...]

Who the hell is Rajon Rondo?!

Rajon Rondo, originally uploaded by ashrox12z.
Well, I know. But you may not. 
The point guard position on any NBA team is the quarterback. The floor general. At the point, you’re calling plays, creating them by design and inventing them when all else fails. It is my favorite position in basketball. Any big with soft hands and fancy feet [...]
