James Callahan “We’re All Friends Here”
28, Nov 2010“We’re All Friends Here” is a short series of paintings RVA local James Callahan did this month. I really like all of the Year One elements. Especially this one: A lot of these are for sale here at Jim’s online store.

ReBirth for iPad
24, Nov 2010I don’t like to use the term “old school” but it definitely applies here. The ReBirth app (iTunes link)from Propellerhead Software is an iPad version of a decade-old drum machine emulator which was, itself, a software version of hardware from the 80′s. The part I’m most excited about is the Roland 808. I grew up [...]

Nathan Barley
23, Nov 2010On recommendation from Mr. Eades I checked out “Nathan Barley“, a 6-episode show on BBC from 2005. It’s a weird and bitingly funny send up of hipster idiots. While I am too old to have lived in and among this particular brand of hipster, I know their work very well. The show has a weird [...]
Todd Margaret
18, Nov 2010I finally got around to watching the second half of the first season of “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret“. It was just 6 episodes, and the rumor is that at least 8 more more have been picked up by IFC for a second season. That’s good news. The clip here is from the [...]

Underbelly Project
9, Nov 2010I missed this last week when it all blew up, but the Underbelly Project was an installation of murals and graffiti in an abandoned (or never opened) NYC subway station. The guys that organized/curated it invited a host of street art folks to come in and put work on the walls. The idea was to [...]
Jawbone Jambox
5, Nov 2010I’m not a bluetooth headset guy but I like that Jawbone at least puts some effort into the aesthetics of the device. I was ready to dismiss the Jambox, their foray into wireless speaker tech, as an over-designed brick but the little commercial they put together does a nice job of laying out some cool [...]

lesliemiles.com
3, Nov 2010lesliemiles.com is one of many “photos from the web” tumblr-style sites. This one tends to post photos in similarly-themed batches so you get a run of landscapes or celebrities or candid photos of models all at a go. They also don’t shy away from nudity so be careful if you’re visiting from work or somewhere [...]
Sanrio’s 50th Anniversary
2, Nov 2010I’m not gaga over Hello Kitty and her other Sanrio pals, but I like the clean look of the characters and the way that they inspire artists I like to come up with good ideas. This Batz Maru by Travis Louie is right up my alley: I would also steer you to take a look [...]
