I like film specifically because it forces me to slow down, think about composition, lighting, focus, aperture and shutter speed. Granted, its not perfect for every occasion- i'm not going to shoot my friend's yearly thanksgiving football game with my Holga- but for those lazy afternoon walks or trips through the…

I really liked this thing's styling in the photos until I saw one in person the other day on route 80 going to work. I think it suffers from the design issues that plague most other korean cars- its too "fiddly" and tries too hard. The overall shape I like a lot but there's just too many little lumps and bumps and…

AMEN. I hate how people see job site safety as an afterthought or an annoyance. When I visit sites, technically I'm not allowed to point out safety issues as it could indemnify my office if something does go wrong, unless it poses an "imminent danger" to the person working, but I'm always irked when I see guys doing…

I was thinking the same thing about the concrete. it looked like the caissons were precast, and driven like piles, maybe?

Hell, we've come a long way since the year 2000. I remember my mom bought a zip drive for her business- the discs could only hold 100mb and cost $10 a piece.

JW Green is so nice. I think it offers the best bang for the buck. I've had a bottle of blue which was fabulous, but too much for everyday. Green offers a nice balance.

Dubai is one of the more relaxed emirates. You can drink in a bar if its connected to a hotel.

I'm with you there. I have a huge digital music collection, augmented by spotify of late, but nothing comes close to listening to music on vinyl. I have a nice turntable and a modest but growing collection of albums. Whenever I've had a bad day (or a good day, for that matter), I'll hop into my den, crack a beer,…

On my old range rover forum, it was great to see the disparity between the model year's problems. Classic problems were usually along the lines of "help! my distributor broke!" P38 problems were "The air suspension's stuck up again"; L322 Problems were usually "how do I find my radio unlock code?" and Sport problems…

When I rule the world, I will hire Seu Jorge to sit in random breezy alcoves and open windows in my magnificently-appointed beachfront home, so that I can wander throughout the house during the day and just come upon him, by surprise, playing some soft Portuguese version of a david bowie song. Yes. That is what I…

Son of a bitch I'm sick of these dolphins.

I love looking at the full ballot at presidential elections. Especially when "the communist party of america" is line Q and "the american communist party" is line Y.

And this is my favorite song by the chemical brothers. It was the first song I played as I drove my new car off the lot; Its great for night driving, especially in NYC.

This is my favorite White Stripes video, who worked with Gondry on many occasions. I like Conan's part.

One of my fondest memories as a kid is riding shotgun with my grandfather behind the wheel of his chevy impala. I remember being so mystified by the ballet of his left foot and right hand. One of these days, I'll own one too.

I'll make this in the meanwhile. Cheers.

I was thinking that. The dude abides.

This seems counterproductive:

I'm in, as long as Zoidberg never, ever touches it.

This song is so dark and ominous and features one of the best sax solos of all time. King Crimson is one of my favorite bands- I saw them live in NYC in 2008. They tore the house down.
