From the SF Chronicle, a story on Tom Sepa, employed homeless man.  Sepa camps in Golden Gate Park (making him my neighbor) and maintains a post office box for his Netflix account. 

 
 
 
 

A nice little piece from the New York Times on one of my favorite authors, Larry McMurtry.  Included is this excerpt from Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test of an encounter between the Merry Pranksters and McMurtry:

“Finally they pull into Houston and head for Larry McMurtry’s house. They pull up to McMurtry’s house, in the suburbs, and the door of the house opens and out comes McMurtry, a slight, slightly wan, kindly looking shy-looking guy, ambling out, with his little boy, his son, and Cassady opens the door of the bus so everybody can get off, and suddenly Stark Naked shrieks out: ‘Frankie! Frankie! Frankie! Frankie!’ — this being the name of her own divorced-off little boy — and she whips off the blanket and leaps off the bus and out into the suburbs of Houston, Texas, stark naked, and rushes up to McMurtry’s little boy and scoops him up and presses him to her skinny breast, crying and shrieking, ‘Frankie! oh Frankie! my little Frankie! oh! oh! oh!’ — while McMurtry doesn’t know what in the name of hell to do, reaching tentatively toward her stark-naked shoulder and saying, ‘Ma’am! Ma’am! Just a minute, ma’am!’ — while the Pranksters, spilling out of the bus — stop."

 
 

Via Daniel Arnold & his Born To Be Nervous business, some amazing pictures from Dustin Humphrey.

 
 

According to Pitchfork, Jarvis Cocker is writing some music for Wes Anderson's stop motion animated, Roald Dahl adapted Fantastic Mr. Fox.  Seems like an obvious collaboration.  Here's a sort of hilariously sober profile of Jarvis for the very British program(me) the South Bank Show.

Hello all.  I'm travelling for 2 weeks to see family in Arizona and Wisconsin and will not be updating this thing regularly.  I'll see you back here in a little while though.  In the meantime here's some wonderfully bizarre video art from William Lamson, via kottke.

 
 

Pleased to announce that Greengold Film will be producing a set of three spec commercials to be directed by Anders Osterballe and shot by Aaron Meister.  The specs will be produced by myself and Milenko Skoknic.  For inspiration, Milenko directed me to this Cannes winning Cadbury commercial.  Enjoy.

 
 



I challenge you to find me a more impressive IMDB resume then that of Stephen Lea Sheppard.
