Murphys, McAdoos & Chasing Commies - A March...

My dad’s mad about college basketball, but apparently not as crazy as he used to be. Nearly everyone in the family is in the same bracket pool, and yesterday, The Cap’n had some insight about how March Madness used to be and what we might expect from the final eight: “There are some interesting notes as we move into the field of eight. There are a number of Murphys in the...

I hadn’t considered the intersection and overlap of still-photography and video until I saw Bill Viola’s “The Passions” at the Getty in 2003. Weird, because as a project, Viola’s work had painting in its sights more than photography, but it opened-up to me the idea of the pure power of a moving image (in Viola’s case, a super slow-moving image) when compared to...

I’ll keep trying to court synchronicity like this, but who knew Leonard Cohen would be singing the chorus of this song over my car’s unpausable AM radio as I pulled-up to this scene?

If you aren’t astounded by Adam Goldberg’s six-second video creations on Vine, I don’t know what to tell you. Check out a few examples and an interview.

If you've never heard the story of Lance's "coach"... →

In the midst of all the pre-confession / post-confession Armstrong news, I’m glad to see Dave Philipps from the Colorado Springs Gazette has followed the trail back to Chris Carmichael, and his dodgy (criminal?) involvement with national-level junior riders in the late 80s and early 90s.

Great Stuff I Read Over the Holidays

I read a bunch of great stuff over the holidays and you did too. Thought I’d share a few bits: The Smithsonian Mag piece on Jaron Lanier was incredible, and more memorable (for me) than his last book, You Are Not a Gadget. The passage about how he predicted that anonymous screenames would have a detrimental effect on national politics is stunning. The piece about Dan Wagner from the...

Audio of Gunfire Over Atlanta on New Year's Eve

Last night, at 12:03am on New Year’s, I stepped outside and recorded a few seconds of audio. We live in a neighborhood where celebratory gunfire is the norm, and I wanted to see if it’d show-up in a low-res recording from my phone. Click the image to hear the mp3. The image is the waveform pattern from the sound of a not too far-off (semi-automatic?) weapon. You’ll hear...
