This week’s lesson featured a performance of typographic letter forms where pairs of students had to physically express their assigned character. Some very clever stuff presented and fun to watch in general.

An old-school photo of my grandmother, my mom and myself back during more “simpler” times. My grandma was a looker back in her day, wasn’t she?!

I sent out a bunch of custom postcards as a way of saying “thanks” for those that participated in sending submissions over the summer to help assist my thesis project. Did you get yours yet?

Good documentary film featuring former U.S. Secretary of State (Kennedy era) Robert McNamara giving his views on the handling of the Vietnam war and offering some lessons to be learned from it for today’s mishandling of wars.

I think Sacha Baron Cohen owes Mahir Çağrı of Turkey a lot of ca$h for his big hit movie “Borat” which clearly uses the Turkish internet celebritys’ likeness without abandon or endorsement.

Words alone can’t explain what a complete brain-drain this movie was. An awful way to spend a Halloween night. No wonder why they were giving it away for free at the pub I was at…
