IF you’ve not been to a Levon Helm Ramble, it’s a good time to start thinking about it.
Almost two years ago I went to one the Leveon Helm Rambles. It was one of the finest shows I’ve ever been to, an intimate performance in the big, open area of Leven Helm’s post-and-beam structure where he lives and works. I’d tried to get my then 17-year-old son to go, but at the time, [...]
That’s it, Google. You’ve lost home page status with me. (UPDATED)
UPDATE June 7: Actually this irked me enough to make a video (also giving me the inspiration to get into imovie 09 a bit more.

Is there a red star warehouse?
Graphic design played a huge role in Obama’s campaign, as we all know. Simple designs repeated endlessly were the norm and still are because advertising has taught us to internalize “brands” via cool-logo shorthand. But in politics, there is no such thing as art for art’s sake. So when I went to Pelosi’s website [...]

The late drum roll and cymbal in J.J. Cale’s [...]

I’m preparing for a future Talk Like Obama Day.
The convention, obviously is: The yellow green of blue.
Serving suggestion: Hold chin up, look left and right. Use introductory phrase followed by a mix ‘n’ match from the chart. Pause dramatically to taste.
Example: Pay no attention to the whines of the naysayers and the equivocations of the meek. You and I, we don’t have [...]
Toyota Prius: The Yoplait of cars.
My wife saw this spot last night and commented that it must have been conceived by a woman. My first reaction was oh, crap, it’s like the 70s again but her observation is accurate. As I watched it a few more times I began to wonder if Toyota were marketing the Prius for women, positioning [...]
CFL Bulbs: Who’s driving this clown car?
If you learned that mercury in CFL bulbs is bad for your health, I doubt it was from the packaging. I checked the packaging of my GE Energy Smart Instant On 4-year bulbs (with “$66 in energy savings per pack**..” They’re made in China, presumably because of their experience with hazardous materials in light [...]
