GPICT - Pretty Help Machine RE: Eric
Late on the GPICT again, but was going to write about this, so thanks, Rachel. (Brilliant title, btw.  I see an NY POST headline-writing gig in your future…) Jumped on the NIN page early on and flipped when I read Trent’s tweet the other day about the amount raised. Really amazing. Now I know I was right to never change my AIM Screen Name from when I was 12… Can’t wait...

Click the link above for a look at the fifty most beautiful subway systems in the world. We all know, there’s something about good design… I especially love when everyday objects are made into art. [Electrical box - Cairns, Australia]

Part 1: Interview With ‘Brothers at War’ Director,... →
“I wasn’t like a news crew out for one day on a mission, trying to get the answers I wanted to plug into my story.  I was there as someone in for the long haul.  I was there for three months and went on 30 missions, asked a lot of questions, interviewed a lot of war fighters and had a real interest in what they were doing and why they were doing it.  I think a lot of those guys want to talk...

Safari Users: Install the ClickToFlash plug-in,... →
I can’t say enough about the ClickToFlash plug-in for Safari/WebKit-based browsers. ClickToFlash is a WebKit plug-in that prevents automatic loading of Adobe Flash content. If you want to see the content, you can opt-in by clicking on it or adding an entire site to the whitelist. We all know Flash is a resource hog.  This cuts Safari’s CPU usage dramatically. ADDED BONUS in the...

GPICT: Fighting Epilepsy (So Kids Don't Have To)
How timely. Just had lunch last week with a childhood friend who has epilepsy.  He underwent a surgical procedure on his brain some time back in a drastic effort to arrest the condition from affecting his well-being. Just recently, he hit the 6-month mark of being seizure-free. Good one, Rachel. charitini: Today’s GPICT comes to us from a girlcrush, because I sort of fell hard for Susan...

Great 'Brothers At War' Review →
“The good ones don’t talk about it much. They have a silent companion called duty that moves them forward, with a strength borne of generations… No, they don’t talk about it much. They just do.” Go see it.

GPICT - Please support Michael Yon, independent... →
No brainer for this week’s GPICT. I’ve been reading Michael’s dispatches since late 2006.  His is basically the LONE voice I give any credence to regarding what is going on in the Iraq and Af/Pak Wars. Why? BECAUSE HE’S THERE. Not in the ‘Green Zone’ like most mainstream reporters. Not on a Katie Couric-style staged walk-through. And not for an overnight...

(Re)Blog for our Cause
charitini: allthecoolkids: goods4good: This is exciting. Blogging add-on service Zemanta is planning to donate $3000 to five charities who get reblogged the most before June 6. We know we’re new on Tumblr, but we’re going to give this a try. What can Goods for Good do with $3000? A lot. Consider some of this: $39 clothes 80 orphans in Malawi $250 buys toys for 4 nursery schools at Consol...

And 'Dark Was The Night' tonight... →
Nice little Sunday lined up… Qualifier: While I may enjoy some of the show — read: Sharon Jones — I may also come away from it with some weird hipster disease.  Seriously, if I’m rocking a fucking keffiyeh and my nards look like they’re about to explode from my jeans being too tight, please — please — just put me down. Thank you.

My Ode to The City of New Orleans
I penned this just before graduation nearly six years ago.  It still resonates with every visit.  I love this place. I won’t soon forget the countless times you seduced my touch, or the sweet taste of your drink on my lips…but just as the night ends when that last sip, when that last drop is drank and your glass is left with only those faint, glossy rings to cry in, so, too, must our...
