Backyard Portraits
29 November 2013, early morning
I finished up a roll of film in my backyard taking a shot of everyone sitting on our deck.
The art assets, writing, and much of the code for Glitch are now in the public domain.
#The Nelson Mandela of the 21st Century is right here, right now. We just can’t see it. We’re too busy spitting on him and calling him a terrorist.
(via Matt) #This is incredible. It’s like everyone in Kiev is protesting.
#It’s down the road form my old high school.
#This is some heavy stuff.
(via Angry Robot) ##The time has come to ask: What are the differences between these men? One thing the transcripts make very clear is that Ford was, by far, the least intelligent person in the room at the crack house. He was also one of the least honest and most easily frightened. He was also white and rich.
Mayor Rob Ford’s habit of doing drugs with gang members led to him being targeted in an apparent extortion plot related to the crack cocaine video and possibly a series of photographs of him in compromising situations, newly released police documents say.
Yep, that’ll do it alright.
#An interview with Roseanne Barr and Mindy Kaling. Lots of good stuff.
MK: I think Roseanne looked like Kurt Cobain four years before Kurt Cobain. I mean that as a compliment.
RB: He credited our show.
If you aren’t watching the Mindy Project you should be. That show is amazing.
#“The funny thing I’ve noticed is that it seems like each pro is also its own con.”
#Interesting thoughts on the suburban / urban divide in Toronto.
(via Parthi) #Giroux, a top homicide detective often tapped for sensitive cases, was asked to look into criminality in the mayor’s office. He was told to follow his instincts and go “in the direction it takes you.â€
He handpicked his small five-person squad out of headquarters, not local divisions where police had interacted with the mayor and his family on several previous occasions.
How is this not a TV show?
#This whole episode of This American Life is pretty enjoyable, but this segment made me stop and catch my breath. It’s so damn good.

Math is the least of Ford’s problems, I suppose.
#Who is this sexy man and why have I not heard of him before now? This is good.
#“Three unpublished works by J.D. Salinger, including The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls, have been leaked online after showing up in an eBay auction. Birthday Boy, Paula, and the aforementioned Ocean are three short stories that form part of a larger collection of Salinger works that was never published.”
What! Three Stories by J.D. Salinger
#Featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Martha Stewart, Vince Vaughan, and a few more notable faces.
#What! Like most people, I assumed Spielberg tacked on the future-robots ending to A.I. Not so!
