History of the First Down TV Line:

One of those questions you think of every time you see it but never actually look up.

President (finally) supports gay marriage

Wed, 09 May 2012 16:18:00 -0400

Great news from the president. Though this one dissenting voice stands out as especially idiotic:

Gary Bauer, president of American Values, a conservative organization that opposes same-sex marriage, faulted Mr. Obama for diverting his attention from the economy.

“Every American who can’t find work, whose home is under water or who can’t afford to fill up his gas tank should be wondering why the president is spending even one second of his time thinking about how to radically transform the institution of marriage,” Mr. Bauer said in a statement. “It’s a political move meant to energize his left-wing base and distract Americans from his disastrous economic policies.”

He shouldn’t have to spend a second on marriage law at all, Bauer’s right—why should the government decide how people marry?

“All new flavors for 2010 Sweethearts® include Strawberry, Green Apple, Lemon, Grape, Orange and Blue Raspberry. The new Sweethearts® have been re-formulated to be softer and more fun to eat.”

- The change of Necco’s Conversation Hearts’ flavor and texture is possibly the biggest mistake of the century. I have a lot of happy memories eating sugar-flavored hearts that had the consistency of chalk.

from AdWeek article “The iPhone 5 Will Be Cool, but Probably Not This Cool”

“Probably not this cool?” Maybe you mean “Probably not this unintuitive or able to make within the next 10 years considering normal technological advances.”

This kind of stuff is purely masturbatory, and while fun to look at for two seconds, probably is best spent making actual usable interfaces.

P.S. And since when is it cool for concepts to take something that already exists and make it thinner? If this were possible, why wouldn’t they just do it?

I drew the menu for Mile End’s grill at Mister Sunday.

If you have yet to check out Mister Sunday, make it a priority. I’m talkin’ fantastic food and a sick DJ all in an outdoor venue that just feels right.

Louie by Brian Moore | thanks to & via emmawelles

Louie Evans has become a Boston legend by riding around the city on his tricycle and yelling what some people call a “siren noise.” Who is he? Why does he ride? Interviews with the employees of Back Bay Bicycles, the store that does complimentary repairs for Louie’s bike, and Louie himself outline the mysterious ‘trike rider’s life as a dedicated bicyclist and as a compassionate, misunderstood person.

There are people in a neighborhood that everyone recognizes, but very few people know. It sounds like Louie is one of them. I think using your skills as a filmmaker to tell these people’s stories is simply one of the greatest uses of technology.

See also, the tall screaming man of Bedford Avenue and Williamsburg’s oldies singer in the station wagon.

I recently heard of an overseas orphanage teaming up with really amazing photographers to spend a few hours taking really beautiful photos of the older kids who were having difficulty finding homes. Needless to say, it worked. A beautiful photo goes a long way.

I’d love to see someone create a non-profit that connects talented photographers with orphanages, Kiva loan recipients, the SPCA, and any other sort of group that relies on the internet to do business. You’ve got photographic skills people, put them to good use. Do something like this for a cause you believe in.

thanks to emma for posting this video and to jay for passing it along. louie is a legend in boston. the siren noise is the word move. he cruises up and down the streets repeating moooooove, moooooove, moooooove. he’s one of the loveliest souls in the city. i smile when i hear his voice. somewhat related: i was writing with david earlier about the soundcloud + tumblr announcement. i mentioned that i’d like to post a weekly interview - on the streets - as a way to connect with the homeless community and street musicians in boston. perhaps neat to hear what they see? a shift in perspective. keep moving.

There isn’t a better feeling than watching your own work get discovered (in this case, 3 years after it was created) and reading peoples’ reactions & related experiences.
