I Like Where This Is Headed

Black Coffee: Chapter 1 of Trails of Tarnation from New Picture Agencies on Vimeo.

From Nicholas Gurewitch, the Perry Bible Fellowship guy. Official site for the series here.

One of the reasons that I love you guys ...

... and one of the many reasons that you love me back.

EDIT: BTW, THIS IS FROM A SERIES OF SECULAR SERMONS INCASE THE RELIGIOUS PANSIES AROUND HERE RAN AWAY. :)

Jane McGonigal - On Productivity from The School of Life on Vimeo.

It is 45 minutes long but worth the time. The post's title is referring to about the 20 minute mark. Also, to be honest in our loving relationship(s) I feel that I should tell you that I am crushing pretty hard on Jane McGonigal.

Feel it in Your Pancreas.

This week's favorite song:

Incase you missed it.

Your bias I mean.

I know it is pledge week but did anyone catch the NPR TOTN bit, "Expert Finds Bias — Among Bias Researchers?" (audio and transcript)

The interviewee was engaging, unafraid of his argument and willing to explore any fallout and/or push-back; what little of it there is so far. That makes for a good call-in radio program. (I haven't read the site comments though. (as a rule))

This Does It For Me

The Wise Man's Fear

We are a month away from book II!

Here is an excerpt from an amazingly sweet blog post:

"There is an art to conversation, you see, and part of that art is the ability to occasionally let a trifling difference of opinion slide by without making a federal case out of it."

Ok Universe, I get it, I said I was effing sorry and Waters is all up on my ass too . . .

LOL XIII

On Monday NPR teased a story involving Final Fantasy but I had to go to class before it aired. The audio is here. A few excerpts:



"Final Fantasy XIII is set on the floating planet of Cocoon. The main character is Lightning, a pink-haired, sword-wielding young woman out to save her sister who is in danger of losing her soul forever. Beyond that, the plot is too intricate to even begin to explain."

LOL, Intricate.

""It's so cool and seductive, the idea that there is this cryptic, mysterious, confusing thing," says Lantz. "You know that there's something going on there, and you don't know what it is, but if you make the effort you can unlock the secret.""

LOL, No there isn't. No you can't.



""I personally liked that my mom didn't understand what buttons to press, and how she couldn't play the games," he explains. "It was something that I enjoyed that other people couldn't.""

LOL, Nerd with Mommy issues.
LOL, press the 'X' button.

Too soon?

EARTH

It is almost misleading to call EARTH heavy metal. The band did start out as a quintessential "doom" or "drone" metal act, but eventually evolved into something different.

Over at NPR Lars Gotrich (who is shaping out to be the genre's greatest cheerleader) writes the intro to a full-album stream of their latest "Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1."

If you like this be sure to check out "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull." It is a profoundly lovely record.
