My Top 3 Favorites as of 10/13/08

These last 2 weeks have been a huge adjustment period for me, and getting time to take pictures and post the story behind it is something I haven’t been able to factor into my everyday life. So I figured I’d post my favorites of the last two weeks.

I’ll start with reading material.

Blogs
1. Mudflats: Recently nominated Best Political Blog from bloggers choice awards.
2. The Consumerists I’ve found out quite a bit of money saving tips and also tons of info regarding the recent collapse of our wonderful economy.
3. LifeHacker : Geek blog about DIY tech projects, and hacks for Gmail and other cool tools.

Websites
1. Hulu : Website that airs the latest TV Show’s from Fox, NBC and Comedy Central. I’ll never miss the Office, It’s Always Sunny, Daily Show or King Of The Hill again.
2. Flickr : Still an all time favorite. Flickr is KING!!
3. Surf The Channel – Dexter : I’m addicted to Dexter, and this has all the episodes.

Music
First let me say that iTunes has this new Genius playlist option and it really works well. I’m not gonna list albums because lately I’ve been listening to random playlists.

Artist first – Song title second

1. El-P – Deep Space 9mm : Off the Fantastic Damage LP
2. Justice – Planisphere Pts. 1-4 : Created for a fashion show. It sounds amazing.
3. Rilo Kiley – Someone Else’s Clothes (Acoustic) – Off of the Live @ Fingerprints EP

Podcasts
1. Real Time With Bill Maher : People either love or hate Bill Maher, but our views on religion are very similar and he usually has both sides of the political spectrum represented on his talk show.
2. This American Life : Stories from around the U.S.
3. NPR Wait Wait..Don’t Tell Me: Political satire from a live venue in front of a studio audience.

So that kinda sums up all my interests right now. Enjoy.

It’s Santa Ana Winds time, and the Southland is on fire again. LA, San Diego, Ventura & San Bernadino counties all have fires right now. Hopefully it will be over quick.

This time last year I took some pictures from the Foothill Ranch fire here in Orange County.
Here are 2:

Good night everyone…

3 reasons why you should see The Dark Knight right now!

So I just saw it, and these are the top 3 reasons why you should see it.

1. Heath Ledger does a frighteningly tremendous job. He’s downright scary.
2. Christian Bale’s Batman voice. All previous Batman’s used their regular voice when in the Batman suit, like some dude isn’t gonna say “Whoa, you sound just like Bruce Wayne dude”.
3. Story. It was very well written, and very well thought out. The supporting cast all did a great, great job.

I think it could of been a little longer, and all the reviews are true. It is very DARK.

I would of waited in 3 lines to see it. It was simply amazing!
