The return of David Blaine

This is just too funny to pass up. Enjoy!

The most satisfyingly funny podcast out there

I haven't been blogging much because I took time off to reorganize my home office. When I'm cleaning and sorting that much paperwork and scraps, I like to listen to lots of podcasts, and I was very happy to discover the most absorbing and entertaining show I've heard in a long time:


"Guys With Feelings" is the funniest show I've heard in a long time, and it's not just because the hosts, Jason Nash and Jeff Bumgarner, are comedians. It's because they are unflinchingly honest about their lives, and Jason in particular has done lots of dumb things that he's not afraid to talk about. It's like hanging out with a great group of guys that you knew back in the day and now you've found out they moved next door.

Not only are they funny themselves, but they're friends with a lot of funny people. They have guests you probably won't find on any other show. I heard a particularly candid conversation with Mary Lynn Rajskub (24, Mr. Show), and an episode with Paul F. Tompkins impersonating Lee Majors had me laughing so hard I spit coffee on my lap.

Plus they've had conversations with very funny film directors (Adam McKay, Harry Elfont, Bob Odenkirk) and other friends in the entertainment business. And they are always genuinely having fun, talking about everything and anything that seems to come their way.

Okay, I realize now I can't do this show justice. It's so unique that I can't do it justice by trying to explain it here. Go to GuysWithFeelings.com for the whole story, and click here to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.

Video demo of the touch screen I'd love to have

I would put this multi-touch screen in my home if I had the means... and a home. This is the same stuff Apple appropriated for their iPhone, and I think it's really the most exciting part about the whole concept. Jeff Han is an original thinker (as this article from Fast Company explains), and I hope he gets the credit (and the $$) he deserves for this technology. I'd be honored to have a cup of coffee with him any time.

Something there is that does not love a Blog...

Oh, sometimes things happen too quickly to keep up with...

But I'm back, and there is something exciting in the works for this space. Stay tuned for details on this new, ongoing project...

Lost in Yankee Stadium

I am a fan of the group Improv Everywhere, who are known for staging offbeat public stunts in New York City.

As a former NYC resident, I know that the sort of things this group does are the sort of ideas that most people can appreciate, and the fact that there is a spirit of fun behind what they do - trying to give their unsuspecting audiences a break from normal, or at least creating a moment that they can tell their friends about.

I just read about their latest mission, in which one of their agents does a wonderful job getting lost on the way back to his seat at Yankee Stadium. Having been to a few games there myself, I can understand how that might happen, but this guy turns it into an art. And if you watch the videos on the site, you'll see how it brings people together in the stands. Another mission accomplished.
