Paint to Music? Yes, please. →
A beautiful, user-interactive site, Soytuaire.Labuat.com invites users to paint to music. For “Soy Tu Aire,” the first single from Spanish band Labuat’s debut album, Web designers matched a unique interactive paintbrush to the song; those manning the mouse can drive the graphics, swirling at will. Try it out and then hit Replay for a mesmerizing Web experience, or hit Record and...

Good.
These last couple days have proven that people can truly be good to one another.
Not in a superficial way, not in a quid pro quo way, just good.
Generous beyond imagination and expectation; even people who are the faintest of acquaintances.
I’m thankful for all the good people in my life. I hope you are too.
Magic
It used to be magical, I used to sit and stare in wonder.
I used to consume without limit.
It used to inspire me to understand myself, humanity and in turn my own humanity.
I used to defend it’s importance in culture and in life. I convinced a few people that it was an art form they needed to open themselves up to.
(For those of you who have read this book you’ll recognize this...
Wanting and Waiting
Doesn’t that kind of sum up life perfectly? Or at least my life, I’ve been doing a lot of both lately. Anyone else?

Bare Bones
My guilty pleasure for the last 99 episodes has been the TV series Bones, however last week has forever ruined the series for me.
I know the hardest thing about a TV series is when to change the status quo and when to call it quits. Everyone wants to go out on top, no one wants to change a formula that works, but sometimes things need to be shaken up.
Mind you this is one persons opinion on one...

Day Light Savings
Just so you all know, Day Light Savings is this weekend, and while I’m excited that it wont be pitch black when I leave work in the evening, I’m extremely bitter about losing an hour of sleep, and more importantly an hour of my life. Why doesn’t the change happen during the week so we can lose an hour of work instead? Oh i know, that would mean an hour extra in the fall, but...

Dreaming of the Bowl
Already dreaming of warm summer evenings spent at the Hollywood Bowl. I want my summer to be defined by symphonies, concertos, and Rent directed by NPH.
Another reason to keep up my wine habit... →

And now I Opine as to why Twilight is Racist
Yes, it’s a phenomenon with tween girls teaming up left and right with Edward or Jacob. But is what they’re teaming up with as innocuous as it seems?
Let’s break it down. I read Twilight, to me it was the book version of crack, couldn’t stand it or the writing style, but couldn’t put it down either. And now that it’s done, I’ve gone through withdrawl,...

DOA, maybe Jay-Z got it right...
…Anyone who watched the Grammy’s knows exactly what I’m talking about.
But seriously, auto-tune, reality TV, what have you done to the real talent out in the world? You’ve distracted us all by parading out artists that “should be” popular. People go find what actually inspires you, and damn all the other opinions.
Pulse, over and out.
