Molly E. Holzschlag and Andy Clarke will be hosting a CSS design seminar in London this year. I’ve had the pleasure to meet and watch these two in action and can imagine how great this seminar is going to be.
I am a conference junkie. I studied fine art, photography, and radio communication in school. I’ve learned web development via books, web sites, and conferences. I’m sitting at the Business Blog Summit in San Francisco right now. Earlier this year, I flew to London for @media and Vancouver for Museums on the Web conferences. None of these conferences were paid for by my employer. I went for my own sake, not theirs. I am retaining this information, making the contacts, and enjoying the activities. My employers are benefiting from any new technologies or techniques I’ve learned.
If you have the time, try to attend this conference. Your support will encourage the hosts to extend the classes to new speakers in new areas of the world. Hold off on buying the latest IPod, use the money to extend your knowledge. That is what I’m doing. I put my Nikon d70s money into the Business Blog Summit.
I was hoping for more musical numbers in Monsoon Wedding.
I had prepared myself with a large curry dinner and fashioned a sari out of a few hand towels to dance along with the movie. But it didn’t have any of the super-fantastic dance scenes that I expect from an Indian film. It was a slow, but pleasant story.
I liked the cricket movie better. After waiting about a year, I’m finally getting Pardes in my mailbox this week, now there is a movie with some tunes. I Love My India….

Inspired by the work of Satoru Yoshioka, I enjoy the surface abnormalities of Polaroid film.
I’ve decided to add movie reviews to my blog. I use cinema often as an inspiration and for teaching visual design. It only seems proper with the latest design to shed some light on the films I tend to watch and sometimes enjoy.
Lantana
When you go to a typical Hollywood film, you can guess the outcome within the first ten minutes. Not with Lantana.
There were three of us watching it as we chowed down on some Curry and a roasted beet salad. It had onion and blue cheese too. So, there was one point where my friend Durward was drinking some carbonated pear juice and he darn near choked on it, he spit that stuff onto the carpet and the dog got a special bubbly treat on her back. Yes, I’d say rent this puppy, gather your friends, turn the Perry Como down low, and enjoy.
