A messy desk is the sign of a sick mind.-common knowledge. The Container Store is one of those places that breeds the illusion that anyone can have a clean and organized workspace. I like to wander around the container shop, marveling at the countless storage containers of every imaginable sort. The Wife has always been …

Hallmark to Make Gay Marriage Cards
“It’s our goal to be as relevant as possible to as many people as we can,” Hallmark spokeswoman Sarah Gronberg Kolell said. There was a cute cartoon after one of the legalized Gay Marriage stories in which a man was celebrating the announcement. His friend ask him why he was so happy, he wasn’t gay, …

Suspension Artist Breaks Leg-I Wonder If He Liked It?
A man performing a human suspension act at a tattoo convention fell and broke a leg-this is a guy that was hanging from the ceiling by hooks pierced through his skin. These people really seem to like their pain, so maybe a broken leg just adds a new element to the act. Performer Jimmy Pinango …
Twilight To Open a Bit Earlier
Twilight‘s U.S. release was to be 12 December but is now 21 November. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been pushed back to July 2009. Why is a mystery to me. Twilight is a vampire movie based on the bestselling vampire book by Stephenie Meyer. She’s one of those people who sat down one …
J.J. Abram’s Star Trek Poster
Four new character posters from JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek were revealed at VegasCon 08. Clockwise we have John Cho as Sulu, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Anton Yelchin as Chekov and Karl Urban as McCoy. It’s nice to see a bit of color here, as one of my main complaints about Star Trek Enterprise was that …
Star Wars-The Never Ending Story
It took the dreadful Star Trek Enterprise to kill, at least for the time being, the zombie that is Star Trek. Fans of the Original Star Trek Series and TNG are already lining up to hate JJ Abrams new Star Trek movie. Sci Fi fans are an odd lot. The new Star Wars movie, set …
Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers
The Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers is a very good book, the only thing keeping it from being a great book is the fact that 90 percent of the portraits are of single subjects. This is fine if your core business is High School Seniors or Composites of some sort, but maybe not so …
The Lure of The Lottery
One of my favorite places to look for ideas is Google Trends. Maybe I just haven’t been paying attention, but there are a lot of results today for lotteries of one sort or another. Seems the Powerball had three winners of $800,000-not a bad return on an invest of a dollar or two. According to …
World’s Tallest Totem Pole-Oklahoma
I have seen many wonders and marvels as I have traveled the country, among them The World’s Largest Lighthouse-collectibles store, The World’s Largest Chair-there are several of these, and the Giant Ball of String, not to be confused with the Giant Ball of Yarn, or The Giant Ball of Twine. But there is a little …
