Tell Me You Hate Me
HBO’s cancellation of “Tell Me You Love Me” reassured to me that the seemingly only way to be successful in entertainment is to dumb it down to the masses, as most smart television shows seem destined for failure if they deal in the abstract (“John from Cincinnati”), layered writing (“Arrested Development”) or have the potential to make people...
I tend to trash on the hipster party photography scene a lot not because of what I see as a lack of great photography, but because everything usually ends up looking like a ripoff of lastnightsparty or thecobrasnake.
I would much rather look through Clayton Hauck’s great general portfolio any day of the week over his party site, everyoneisfamous, but this series on sunglasses from the...

I can’t jump in my car and drive to the scene of a shooting. I have to call the...

WatchI, too, am one of those people who runs outside when weather is approaching. Especially when the tornado sirens are blaring. But this is one scary-looking wall cloud.

What’s the difference between a million, a billion, a trillion? A million seconds is 13 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years. A million minutes ago was - 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago. A billion minutes ago was just after the time of Christ. A million hours ago was in 1885. A billion hours ago man had not yet walked on...
