bomomo.com is a great way to spend time ‘drawing’ nonsense, starting over and going again and again and suddenly it’s 5 and time for the weekend to start.

Etsy.com is a way to shop by color. Right, cause normally when i want to go shopping I say, man I need something orange, not orange orange but more of a burnt amber color and then go shop. Whatever though, it’s neat and time consuming and amusing.

Happy Birthday to me. Now I’m going to go back to watching an xbox version of the super bowl being playing out on the internal tv system in the office… yay working for a sports network.

Delaying the analog/digital transition to June 12.

Good Idea:

Investing in Netflix (yesterday)

The full list can be found lots of places, try here if you are having trouble finding it. This pretty much means I have to see ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ this weekend as it nabbed 13 nominations. It also means maybe next week I’ll go see ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ as it grabbed 9. Along with its many nominations ‘Slumdog’ beat out ‘Button’ at the Golden Globes a couple weeks back so this could be a very interesting race. Until I’ve seen all of the movies (and this year the best picture nominees pretty much run the table of the other nominations) I won’t make any predictions but my expectations for ‘Slumdog’ have been set pretty insanely high.

Best Picture Nominees:

• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Frost/Nixon
• Milk
• The Reader
• Slumdog Millionaire

In other nomination news, ‘Wall-E’ might have been left out of the top running but it was nominated in six other categories including Best Animated Feature of the Year, which it is. The animated short, ’Presto’, that preceded ‘Wall-E’ was nominated for Best Animated Short.

Everything’s gonna be all right.

Want to “Relive ‘The Moment’ when Barack Obama took the oath of office’? Then head on over to CNN and check out the 3-D image they are creating of the exact moment in which the Chief Justice screwed up the Oath.

I can’t get enough of today’s coverage and on top of the thousands of things I am thankful for that Obama will bring to this country I am also thankful I’ve got CNN being the only major network to really jump into the deep end of the tech pool. They’ve done interviews with 3-D holographs on election day, they were the first to use touch screen maps that John Kinghas really made an

integral part of this past year’s election season. Now, using a Microsoft product (yeah, what the hell?) called Photosynth, they’ve created a pretty sweet image that they’ve been adding to throughout the day. You can get a row of Hollywood players sitting off to the left of Obama. Steven Spielberg and Disney CEO Robert Iger seem awfully chummy.

Today is a great day for the future of everyone and everything, and technology is not going to be left out. So, I say congratulations to all of us!

TODAY IS AWESOME!!1!!!

Another one bites the dust?

 A picture taken from the blog of ‘the Stranger’ in Seattle. The Seattle P-I is on it’s last legs. I’ve also got wind of layoffs at CBS radio in Seattle not to mention the potential massive layoffs that Microsoft is flirting with. The decline of the Seattle market is a cannary in the coal mine. We aren’t through this yet.

We talk a lot about the changing mediums of technology and how we view content, but the creators of fine art of all kinds deserve recognition no matter how their art is viewed.

With that said the Golden Globes were this past Sunday and it showed me just how few movies I’ve seen recently. December is when a lot of the award caliber stuff floods the theaters and its your job to try and keep up with it all. Sadly there hasn’t been time to see a movie since… um… shit. I think maybe Quantum of Solace. At any rate I just hope some of these get Oscar nods at 5:38am PST on January 22nd so they’ll stay in theaters a bit longer. Anyway, here is the list of winners from this past Sunday. I hardly know any of these movies.
