Do yourself a favor, spend a few minutes on ‘Tinybuildings’ Sharon is a gifted woman, who can make even mundane business cards into amazing landmarks in time. Her first post, tells the history - it’s a very melancholy post, but the buildings are amazing.
Probably because I just found them today… when does Santa start his new list?
It can never be said that ‘T’ doesn’t pay attention - she honestly NEVER misses a gift opportunity, and this year was no exception. Among my santa leavings where -
Overall an excellent result.
The SFG Blank book arrived at the studio today. Now the fun begins.
Like Tea? Turns out I do, although I never realized exactly how much, my dear friend kim - hooked me up with a very ingenious teapot set from Adagio Teas. It came with 4 sample teas - I’m crazy for the black teas, so I’ve been mainly drinking that one, ‘T’ is a fan of the white teas (on some things we’re as different and black and white).
Is there such a thing as spicy tea? I may explore the ‘African Rooibos’ teas next.
I’m not one for New Years resolutions - but I do like to make a clean start every year, just privately. In 2008 the only real studio goal I have is to push creativity as hard as I’ve been pushing technology for the last few years.
Hopefully the change will be apparent.
Enjoy you’re christmas
I recently discovered Concert.tv in my digital cables ‘On-Demand’ menu - If you enjoy live performances it’s really impressive, all their interstitials are clean, bold and graphic, and with their wealth of content it’s easy to kill an afternoon watching. I assumed that with a name like ‘concert.tv’ they’d have an equally impressive website - it’s not bad to look, but don’t look too close, it’s a flash site that IMHO fails at almost every turn.
Okay so those are both kind of excusable, but in their TV ID’s they show CONCERT.TV/PERFORMANCES, and CONCERT.TV/SINGLE SONGS - (Both featured shows on the channel) and on the web? 404 - now if that isn’t a missed opportunity I don’t know what is. If your going to name your channel after your website, your website better deliver.
If they’d like some help making their site a bit more user centric - they can give me a call.
You may know I like to make lists, here’s eight things I wasn’t fond of in my 20’s, that now in my 40’s I fully appreciate:
So I’ve mostly recovered from my brunch extravaganza, it was mostly a success - don’t let anyone tell you ingredients and preparation aren’t the keys to success in preparing a meal - they are, given good ingredients and decent preparation - ANYONE can cook to impress. Cleaning up while you cook, that’s where the real skill lies.
Interestingly it was the cheese stars that stole the show yet again!
I had a nice casual day with Kim, shopping for spices and eating sushi & udon in posh Chestnut Hill. Among my purchases are Black India Pepper and Lemongrass - Today I’ll pick up some fresh scallions and some tofu - and I can enjoy some fresh (and spicy) lemongrass soup, I can hardly wait.
I’m also setting up for a small brunch we’re hosting tomorrow for ‘T’ and some of her friends — tentatively the menu includes
