Ever wonder just how hard it is to find a decent blog theme?  Well, the answer is “Very”.  So enjoy this current look and feel.  I’m still looking for the perfect theme — I’d design my own if I could spend the time to figure out how they work — but for now, I’m thinking we’ll play around with this one.

What do you people think?

(Warning: This review contains no spoilers whatsoever, unless you command great deductive prowess and/or are magnetized!)

The Movie: Be Kind Rewind.

Starring: Mos Def, Jack Black, Melonie Diaz, and Danny Glover.

Plot: Jerry (Jack Black) erases all the VHS tapes in Mr. Fletcher’s (Danny Glover) video rental store, while he’s away. Mike (Mos Def), who is left in charge of the video store, decides to remake the movies with the help of Jerry and Alma (Melonie Diaz).

Rating: In a scale of 1 out of infinite apples to oranges, the film gets a googolplex.

What Does This Mean: It means go see the movie; you may or may not regret it.

Ich habe keine geld: What?! Hans Grüber never said that! (Though he might’ve before visiting LA.)

Tickets Aren’t Cheap: Yes, very true. Perhaps I should talk more about what will be…

The Most Underrated Film of 2008! Read the rest of this entry »

On midnight, March 08, 2008 I said goodbye to relatively insecure employment. Unfortunately, there are several other previous fellow employees who preferred shaky job security to the unknown possibilities of the future. That’s quite understandable, as one offers a more definite paycheck as opposed to the other.

It got me thinking, though, about an idea I had almost a year before to create some sort of organization/conglomeration. An incorporated talent pool, if you will.

Whether it should be a legally recognized entity or merely a loose, unofficial network, would be determined later. I suppose it would operate similar to a guild, but again, I’m not sure of the legal implications, especially if dues were required. I just imagine a domain where people could go to find freelance work, be able to collaborate on projects, and teach themselves through a knowledge base of peers. I’ve seen similar groups on the web, but they focus only on one of the three pillars (Work/Collaborate/Learn) of this idea.

It would be like a forum, except much more structured.
It would be like a job search, but sociable.
It would be like a tutorial site, with more feedback. 
It would be an oasis for a band of artistic nomads. (That visual scares me somewhat.)

Now the concept sounds good (or not) in theory, but who knows if it’s even viable. If so, it certainly wouldn’t launch fully developed. And in that case, how would it begin? With so many variables, I’m afraid I’ll have to pass for the moment, but if anyone else wants to fling themselves at such a concept, then be my guest. Just allow me to sign up.

 And also, a graffiti motif for the website would be cool, don’t you think?
