It’s Sundance time in Park City. Being a bit of a street art aficionado, I was pretty excited to hear that Banksy was throwing up some pieces in SLC and PC, since the film “Exit through the Gift Shop,” is debuting at the film festival. I’m hoping that the art will still be there in … Continue reading Weekend, here we come→
It has been kind of a crazy week for us, already. In addition to being back at my real job, I have been running all over the place, to cover various fashion trade shows, after-parties, etc. I really enjoy it, though. I see a lot of cool stuff and meet a lot of cool people. … Continue reading Randomosities→
Make no mistake, these guys are weird. But, they are also pretty awesome. This week, we are swinging back to the NYC Electronica scene. Fischerspooner was formed by New Yorkers Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner. They got their start performing in the Starbucks at Astor Place. So, you know the’re good. Hahahahah. For real, though, … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #55 (Fischerspooner)→
Right now I’m covering the January Cargo Tradeshow in SoHo, for SoJones. I shot their July show last year, too. After the Sojones articles are published, I’ll put up more from the show. I was hoping that it would be a nice break and lift my spirits, for a bit. And it did, for a … Continue reading Cargo 2010→
Earlier this month, I received an email from my brother Peter about contributing to the La Musica Coolica feature of Jake’s New Blog. He told me that my commentary about music was getting tired, and needed to be refreshed. Hahahaha. He didn’t really tell me that. But he did offer to chime in with some … Continue reading Guest Contributor→
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day (except in Arizona). I think that this guy was pretty amazing. I’m not sure who to credit with this photo. I couldn’t find the author. Who ever it was, well done.
I know that everyone has seen millions of comical examples of product packaging on products originating from Asian countries. Just the same, I cracked up at this one and couldn’t resist sharing it. A few weeks ago, I ordered this nifty little LCD protector from Ebay, for the back of the 7D. As you can … Continue reading Use Method→
Sorry that I am kind obsessed with bridges, at the moment, because of the book that I’m reading. If you are sick of hearing about them, feel free to change the channel. I’m taking a break from blabbing about the Brooklyn Bridge for a minute to share this outstanding time-lapse video of the Manhattan Bridge. … Continue reading More Bridge P@^n→
Ludacris! Yeah, man. It is about time that I threw some southern hip-hip into the mix. Whenever I hear southern rap, it reminds me of the good old days before Lil’ Jon came along and ruined it all-up with “Crunk.” I mean, we all thought that Crunk was going to be one of those timeless … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #54 (Luda)→
I mentioned previously that I had recently started a new book about the conception and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. As it turns out, the bridge was the brainchild of the Prussian immigrant architect/engineer/genius named John Roebling. The construction was overseen by himself and his son Washington Roebling, who evidently was equally gifted. John actually … Continue reading Roebling quote of the week→
