• TIME Magazine: “All-Time 100 Movies”

Two thoughts:

• I really need to see more films that aren’t in the New Releases section of Blockbuster. Actually. Let me rephrase this — I need to go to a rental store that isn’t Blockbuster. Now, if only someone would just open a rental store in Dartmouth that wasn’t Blockbuster. Or Rogers. Which is just Blockbuster Lite. End rant.
• Where’s Big Trouble In Little China?

Scene: In a car, during morning traffic, immediately after lame local radio station replays portion of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show monologue:

Me: Why do people find Jay Leno funny?

My Lovely Wife: I don’t know. His hypnotic chin?

• YouTube: “The I/O Brush” (via Defamer)

I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by “picking up” and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special “ink” they just picked up from their immediate environment.

This is so cool I need a cookie. Really. Take a look. I was flabbergasted. I’m rarely even gasted, so that’s big.

Where’s that cookie?
