• Design You Trust

    At Design You Trust is a great website to waste time with. Like NotCot.org, it is a good blog aggregator with a lot of great photography and other cool design stuff like:

  • The worlds largest house of cards.
  • An awesome ad/commercial with guys skating though a pool full of balloons.
  • Jet Packs! Fo Realz!
  • Simple, yet very cool, desktop backgrounds. Neil, your right, I am pretty square when I get excited about backgrounds.
  • The Oh Snap Project is pretty badass.
  • Has anyone heard of this Cloud Project at the London Olympics?
  • and a very mesmerizing video.

  • Mind Grapes

    So i took Sissa’s advice and tried Stumble Upon. I know how hard you work at finding new stuff, Brian, so I feel like I’m cheating. Nonetheless, I’m sure you’d want to hear some gems. 30 Rock came back with all expected hilarity, as I’m sure all know. If you haven’t seen Tracy Morgan on the Daily Show, you need to. ‘Cause someone gettin’ pregnant! Hulu also has about 60 episodes of NewsRadio, which are on a Hulu queue for me.

    I’m really excited about Point Break Live, but nobody down here shares my enthusiasm. I’ll be home Saturday, so I need to see that as well as Cop Out, while we’re on the subject of Tracy Morgan.

    It wouldn’t be a Bruce post without music right? I’ve listened to this song for months now at my friends place, and just got to downloading it myself. Miley’s “USA” and Biggie’s “Party and Bullshit” mash-up. Party and Bullshit in the USA. I definitely like it better than both originals.

    Theres a new 30 for 30 on ESPN on at 8 tonight. Can’t say enough about these films. This one is about Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks.  8 points in 8 seconds to win in the playoffs? However, very little beats Scottie Pippen telling Spike Lee to park his keester. It’s gonna be a good week.

    Sidednote, Tuesday is March 16. Or, 3:16 for those more WWF-minded. Stone-Cold Stunner your friends! It’s a St. Pats high school tradition.

  • The Festival of Dionysius!

    In case anyone of you haven’t heard of this yet, Maria would like to make sure everyone knows about this. It probably gonna be awesome.
    The Festival of Dionysius
    March 13th, 20th, and 27th, at 7:00pm
    Chicago Art Department – 1837 S Halsted

    The International Bedlam Society and the Chicago Art Department come together to bring you three nights of bacchanalia to finish off your winter blues once and for all. This Spring Equinox festival will celebrate the coming season and the god of revelry with theatre, games, food, and drink!
    Gods and Mortals mix at this interactive event hosted by the Son of Zeus himself. Become witness to the Secret Rites in this lush, verdant indoor atmosphere where wine, milk, and honey flow literally from the walls! Explore the darker side of your psyche and participate in the spectacle of the night! A little sparagmos never did anybody harm…
    Each evening will feature different musical guests and an ensemble performance of eight Greek theatre favorites. Written and assembled by the International Bedlam Society, these scripts are pulled from the Ancient Festival of Dionysus and the Greek Masters–Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, and more. See your favorite stories; Zeus, Prometheus, Oedipus, Theseus, Hippolytus, Achilles, Orestes and Pentheus. Retold for the modern, ADD and television-soaked audience, these plays are bawdy, dark, and sharp.
    Musicians starring for our opening night on the 13th is Kirtan with Amy and the Ananda Bliss Tribe!

    3/13, 3/20, 3/27
