The Pearls Before Swine blog

Are you subscribed to the Pearls Before Swine blog by Stephan Pastis? Do it. Now.

A recent favorite post: “I Will Save The World.”

If you love his comic, his blog is…gravy to a turkey. A1 Steak Sauce to a steak. Ice cream to a chocolate chip cookie. A Drobo (with eSATA support) for a photographer. Wait, something doesn’t belong. My bad.

Anyway, you’re welcome.

If you’re looking for hilarious entertainment, watch a few episodes of net_work by Black20 and you’ll be hooked. The vortex of dry humor and confusion drew me in right from the start.

From the net_work page at Black20:

Forget what you know about sitcoms. Forget what you know about the way stories are supposed to go. net_work is office comedy for a new generation.

It’s two Internet video producers and the strange world that surrounds them. It’s business unusual.

The only two things you can expect of net_work are: Mike will be Mike, and Michael will be Michael.

One of my early favorites is “Separates,” which was back in Season 1. (They’re currently in Season 4.)

You’re welcome.

I’ve got the chops to be a cinematographer

I got an email from Philip late last night, saying:

I just decided you will be my cinematographer if/when I ever decide to shoot some video.

Nice.

P.S. Can my decent photography skills¹ really carry over to video? *shrug*

Podcasts I love

In Funny, Photography, Podcasts on 27 October 2008 with 3 comments

When I’m on the Metro or driving without friends, I’m listening to podcasts. I haven’t made a list here in awhile, so I thought I’d share in hopes you’d like them, too.

This Week in Photography (a.k.a. TWiP; iTunes Store URL)
PhotoNetCast (Antonio Marques, Martin Gommel, Jim M. Goldstein, Brian Auer; iTunes Store URL)
EXIF and Beyond (Jim M. Goldstein; iTunes Store URL)
The Kevin & Bean Show¹ (KROQ, iTunes Store URL)

Yes, most of these are photography-related. I don’t have any favorites…I love them all equally! The last one is definitely the oddball out of the others, but sometimes I just want mindless humor.

One more thing: listening to podcasts don’t require the use of an iPod. You can listen to them on your computer, any MP3 player, or burned onto a CD-R disc.

Enjoy!
