Choke choke, WTF
As with most videos of this nature, it’s best watched multiple times.
Don’t try this at home
I’ve recently been getting a lot of comments about this gem I made ages ago. And I’ve got to say, it holds up pretty good.
Mike Draw
I met this guy named Mike at a party. He’s a lawyer by day and a painter by night. But not just any painter, a Microsoft Paint-er. Check out his blog where he posts his MS Paint creations. I must say, it’s pretty badass. mikedraw.blogspot.com. Some examples are below.
Moving Van
The inside of a rental van. I’d say it’s moved its fair share of things with sharp edges over the years…
Life on Mars
I saw a filming of “Life on Mars” the other day while on my way to work. I snapped a photo that didn’t seem too interesting at the time – an old-fashioned fire truck and police car, some extras dressed in 1950s garb, a big crew – the usual. But check out what I saw when I blew up the photo (below). Either there’s a scene that features the invisible man, or it’s a stunt man who’s going to be set on fire. My money’s with the fire one. Any viewers of Life on Mars want to let me know if I’m right in the coming weeks? Does anyone even watch that show?
Computer: Enhance! Enhance!
Male nudity is hilarious
This video features a friend of a friend’s brother who’s a writer for The Sara Silverman Program. DO NOT WATCH THIS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME. Also don’t watch it if you’re under 18 or easily offended. If all this hype makes the video seem more exciting, then sit back, relax, and enjoy. And don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Lightroom in Overdrive
I’ve gotten pretty quick at blasting through a photoshoot in Lightroom to select my favorites, do some basic color correction, and spit out some jpgs. So I thought I’d share a sped-up video of the process from a recent blind tasting at the Snooth HQ. Enjoy!
Sony PSP Billboard Coming Down
Say it ain’t so! Looks like they’re finally pulling the plug on that aging Sony PSP billboard on Houston Street.
Thanksgiving Parade Video
I had a wonderful and totally not-terrifying experience at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday.
Geeking out on Wine
Geeking out on Wine
Among the bevy of things I’ve learned while working Snooth, one that caught me off guard (even though it’s pretty much the entire point of the site) is that it IS possible to know a lot about wine and not be a dick about it. I guess for a number of historical reasons, being “into” wine is seen as a pretty snooty endeavor, but the more I think about it and the more I learn, you can geek out about wine as much as you can geek out about anything.
Gregory Dal Piaz – a fellow Snoother, a Master of the Domaine (wait, that’s actually pretty funny), and a genuine nice guy – first got me thinking about this when he referred to his peers as fellow “wine geeks” rather than what I was expecting him to say – “wine snobs.” (True, while a snob would probably never admit to being one, it takes a true geek to refer to him/herself as a geek – it’s a basic tenant of Geek Pride.) So when Greg dropped that g-bomb, everything just became a lot clearer for me.
As with any topic, hobby, sports team, or other endeavor that inspires geeking, wine offers all the back-story, trivia, subtle distinctions, and of course – enjoyment – that makes it hold up as a pretty enjoyable thing to geek out about. Plus it can get you shitfaced. (Let’s see you try THAT, stamp collecting.)
So anyway, all this is what’s swirling around in my head as I read Greg’s latest blog post on the Snooth Blog, covering a blind tasting of Pinot Noirs for Thanksgiving. There’s a lot of no-nonsense, entertaining, and enlightening discussion about these wines (as well as a few well-placed curse words), and it’s all especially entertaining because nobody knows what they’re actually drinking until after all the reviews are done. Hence, none of the snottiness and all of the geekiness. It’s a lot of fun to read. (The photos are pretty good too. I’m just sayin…)
Uptime
Geeky but fun question – how long has it been since you’ve restarted your computer? (If you’re a Mac user, the best way to find out is to open up the “Terminal” program inside your Applications > Utilities folder and type “uptime” without the quotes, then press return. Shazam.)

The Youngest Candidate Trailer
Do you ever have days when you feel privileged to know people who can make stuff this awesome?
Check out the trailer for Jason Pollock’s new documentary, “The Youngest Candidate.” Trailers don’t get much better than this.
PS – check out the movie’s website, http://www.theyoungestcandidate.com. It was designed by Shepard Fairey. Don’t know who Shepard Fairey is? He’s the guy that designed this. ‘Nuff said.
