Do you make genuine friends in the film industry?

I’m not going to try and post too often about podcasts, but I couldn’t pass this one up. Director Danny Boyle did a special 5 minute podcast in conjunction with the release of his previous movie Millions [review], which came out this past spring.
It’s only about 5 minutes long, but he really comes across as [...]

Burt Lancaster is a funny name.

New Podcast tools

While this is gut reaction – after skimming iTunes 4.9’s podcasting support, I believe that I prefer Odeo more.
The iTunes music store is well suited for browsing music – where the goal is to get to the song as quickly as possible, but in a podcast, the audio is not the only focus. You want [...]

Odeo

For the first time, I’m actually a Beta tester! This means that I’m using a service|program before it is available to the general public. Pretty cool. The service I’m using is the new Podcasting aggregator called Odeo.
Some further detailed explanations:
Podcasting: A mash-up of the words iPod and Broadcasting. It’s pretty much home-made radio, the [...]

But, I love you man!

Anyone else remember the old Jonny commercials for Bud Light? I think those were the commercials that started my family’s appreciation/love of Beer commercials. Ever since then we pay attention to commercials, and talk about the ones that crack our crackers, and change the channels when we hate the ones playing. That’s how it is. [...]

To start you off, I give you a sneak peak at the latest Cameron Crowe pic. He has directed a [...]

The World’s Strongest Dad

Originally published on SI.com & in Sports Illustrated Magazine
I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots.
But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck.
Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he’s not only pushed [...]

I love the Information Age pt 2

Wednesday I went to a gorgeous concert at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. A sold out crowd all sitting on the lawn, listening to Rufus Wainwright sing and play the piano. I really will never be satisfied with a traditional concert venue from here out. Caitlin and I also snuck in and got a nearly private [...]

I made this offer

On my other blog, but I’ll make it here too.
Recently I found my completely sweet postcard collection, that I started when I was about 13, and stopped when I was about 17 or so. They were a cheap way to remember where I’ve been. Unfortunately, I’m getting ready for college and cutting down on nostalgia.
But [...]
