I took a class in the fall entitled Writing for Television at Bentley University in Boston. Much of what I learned has helped me through my first year of creative writing.

Remote-controlled and capable of 28 mph, product testing confirms that EMILY just might be smarter than David Hasselhoff and more buoyant than Pamela Anderson.

So, apparently in our modernistic approach for child rearing "authenticity", it turns out there is a market for human breast milk. However, for a mother seeking the best for her child, it is impossible to know whether artificial milk or unidentified breast milk is healthier. The FDA certainly does not have the time or funds to step in.

Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson totally inspires us here at Wonderhowto. His waterfall installations on the Hudson River. His incredible sun exhibit at the Tate in London. His concepts and execution are dazzling. Plus he has Taschen book that weighs a frickin ton. (Yes. The tonnage does translate to respect.)

Sadako Sasaki was a Girl from Japan who apperently survived the dropping of the A-Bomb over Hiroshima unharmed. But when she turned twelve it became obvious that she had leukemia as an aftermath of the A-bomb. As she was in hospital friends visited her and one of them folded an Origami Crane for her telling her the story of the 1000 cranes that grand you a wish. Hoping for cure she began to fold. At this point stories begin to vary some say  she made it and continued as  nothing happen after...

What's this? Something new! Do you think we'll get another person on our homesteads when she comes to teach?

Sony's Bravia Balls Ad, David Michod's "Crossbow", James Nachtwey's war photography.  Every once in a while, you get smacked in the face by art so powerful and sublime, it leaves you inspired, envious, or both.  The mini documentary series, "California is a place", is no different.

My friend from Brooklyn and I went to this free show on Monday.  The vocals were crisp and less distorted than on the album.  Overall great energy and the crowd was totally feeling it.  The crowd was made of the typical mix of big messy hair, plaid, and skinny jean wearing indie kids, along with a few random old guys.  My friend said NYC shows are a lot more homogenous and was surprised by how diverse shows in LA are.  I was surprised by how many tall guys (lots of guys well over 6'2) were in...
