Hrm.. Johnny Depp as the new Willy Wonka? Jack Sparrow as Willy Wonka?

Must find new copy of RES and read articles in store.

Fake newspapers are amazing. Great headlines. Pretty smart idea.

Yet another reason the MIDI is bad (I'm not gonna bash on Microsoft here.. cause who woulda thunk a MIDI could exploit your system?).

I was a little thrown at first, but I really like the Frost site. Great portfolio presentation.

Welcome back to the web Mr. Purvis, and congrats on the admission to photography school. Nice new site design, and good usage of MT (comments!).

Australia is going to ban spam. I'm not sure exactly how you enforce a ban on unsolicited email (especially when the reply-to address is always invalid) and still be cost effective but I give them kudos for trying!

Coming soon. Beard Contest 2003. Those of you without "real jobs" (or at least jobs where facial hair is not a factor) might want to consider participating. Details soon.

Argh! Curses! Double the capacity of my MuVo player and it's got an FM receiver. There's always something better... damn this technology and it's constant advances! And damn you Nick for clueing me in to it's existence.

I wondered if there would ever be a new Photo Genetic and it appears that there is. The new issue doesn't really stand up to the first one - but I guess I am just partial to architecture pics over nature (tho Issue 2 does have a few sparse moments).

Give the new NOX a view. Completely worth it for the "Chunk" project.

The Basefield Projects Finalists are up... no competition. It's this one, this one, and umm.. this one (or maybe this one for the final pick). Okay so it's actually some tough choices but those first two picks of mine are definites in my book.

Well, lookee here. Seems like Hollandesign has launched it's new version. Crazy outta control logo type, yet still elegant.. lotsa works to look at. And there is one pic in his 2003 Photo Slideshow that is of impeccable quality.. see if you can spot it. Good job Mr. Holland - you best be gettin some work from this, you deserve it.

Lotsa new goods from Steve Burns. I look forward to his album release, and have enjoyed watching his video.

Must find more pictures from the Banksy Turf War. Apparently there were some upset animal activists over his painting some pigs and cows.. slightly understandable. Now I'm going to read this interview.

I'm always surprised to find out things like this.. it makes me think there is a tiny presence of people in Nashville that know what might be considered interesting beyond large blockbuster movies and top-40 hits. It seems that one of our theatres is going to be showing the Gigantic Film - the They Might Be Giants documentary. And the theatre is part of a chain! Go figure.

Looks like Cursive is coming back to the Exit In (worst site ever) as well as touring a ton beyond that. Oh yea, they also have a video over at mtv.com.. beware of amazingly annoying large flash ads overlaying the site.

Downloading the Jack Black "Computerman" short over at Channel 101 - a site that contains a few failed pilots and other random films. The "Second Time Around" show sounds ridiculous enough that it might be decent as well. Thank you fA.

Macromedia FlashPaper. Watch out PDF's - you got some competition. It'd be rad if the publisher for FlashPaper was free, as to give Adobe a real run for their money. Link via Duncan.

Okay, pardon my nerdiness, but Doc Ock looks amazing. Sure I could be a purist and question where his white labcoat is (he's a scientist, not a badass in a leather mafia outfit) but I'll let it slide because he looks pretty badass.
