The Alchemist

03.31.2008

I read this yesterday. If you’ve done the same, and you’d care to discuss it, remind me about it sometime over cocktails.

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” – From ‘The Alchemist’

1958 all over again

03.30.2008

Last night, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of calling Los Angeles home, the Dodgers played an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox at the Los Angeles Coliseum located several miles south of downtown. For those who don’t know, the Dodgers played their games at the Coliseum in South Central Los Angeles for their first [...]

Virtual weapons

“There are weapons that are simply thoughts — ideas, prejudices — to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.” – Rod Serling

Free Web-based Photoshop

03.27.2008

I love the implications of this. Adobe has just announced that they’re launching a free Web-based version of Photoshop Express, the stripped-down poor man’s version of Photoshop.

What Will Life Be Like in the Year 2008?

03.27.2008

The writer got it pretty close, only he forgot the part about tossing out a tweet from your cell phone as your air-cushion car glides along the smooth plastic road at 250 miles per hour.

Golden blade on the horizon

03.26.2008

Last night’s sunset, shot from White Point. I couldn’t help from tripping on the orange sword blade on the horizon, and noticing the placement of the sun on it. Look closely. And for the vertical-minded, I simply HAD to crop this photo to give you same vibe on the y-axis. Which, now that I look [...]

If

03.26.2008

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills… If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains… If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles… If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it… If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to [...]

A protein primer

03.26.2008

Still shown today in biochemistry classes at MIT, the following free-love-era 1971 Stanford short film uses the art of dance to illustrate protein synthesis. Far out, man. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
