Not quite as good as the Phantom Menace review, but this two part Avatar review is still pretty right on.

Speaking of which, I'm occasionally on this site of Asian media industry people and came across the page of a martial arts stuntman in HK who also does some parkour. I know I would certainly take a second look at my "showreel" if I were a teenage boy looking to get discovered for my mad skills.

hyper hyperart part-ay!

The Thomasson hyperart project I worked with Kearny Street Workshop and Kaya Press on a couple months ago is having a holiday/release party today. Free admission, come on down.

What is a Thomasson? Watch the video and find out, or maybe just come up with more questions.

Sure, in twenty-five minutes we're not going to get all the details of new health care, health insurance and election reforms, but I'm still pretty impressed both at Franken's ability to address the concerns of the constituents and the crowd's openness to hearing actual responses.
