And this is why I love blogs.
Via Arun Rajagopal’s blog, there’s a guy in Berlin, Germany, who is picture-blogging (plogging?) all the trash on the side of the road that’s from Burger King. Apparently, a new BK opened down the street from his home. Before the new fast-food joint opened, there wasn’t a lot of [...]

For my first two years of college it was a toss up between advertising and photography. My camera in college was a classic Nikon F. That tank of a camera sits on my shelf at BOF. After looking at Josh Hallett of hyku’s photography with his Nikon D 80, I had to visit the Nikon [...]

I just wanted to drop a brief announcement:
Today is the last clue in The Warehouse Theatre’s season announcement online/offline “game.”  We’ve already had people submitting right guesses and wrong guesses… and they’ve got until noon tomorrow!

Anyway, check out Texaco’s new activity book for children. It’s called “Lubie and the Lovable Looney Lubettes.” It’s [...]

“What makes this business great are the knuckleheads. All the people just slightly left of center. This business seems to attract them.
All in all, they make for an interesting day at the office, these oddballs, artists, misfits, cartoonists, poets, beatniks, creepy quiet guys and knuckleheads.”
-Luke Sullivan in “Hey Whipple, Squeeze This”
Why are you afraid of [...]

I took a short road trip up to Charlotte, NC last week to connect with my mom who was on a southeast tour with her senior singing group from my hometown, Dallas. Yes, us Jones’ are a multi-talented bunch.
So I found myself in a Southern Baptist church with a Southern Baptist preacher who – interestingly [...]
