i know, i know, it’s not cool to dress up “cool” for halloween. all guys are usually zorro and all girls are dominatrixs and only the “uber cool” end up doing something totally uncool…. but if you happen to be just “medium cool” and don’t want to feel like a total goof here are my reco’s for a couple… which is basically just another night at the wooly. by dd
a little inspiration for this weekend’s toil and trouble
above the classic dialogue and orson welles in his hotter years, i love the experimentation with lighting to overcome the age’s lack of special effects. a little mystery can go a long way. you can see the full film here (please excuse the intro slide) by kl

white noise: tyler hays bbdw speakers
our friend tyler hays, at bddw, has done his handiwork on a pair of speakers made of white american holly. now, while scott is a sensitive and detailed guy there is no saying how much of an audio expert he is. we’ve all seen his turntables made of stone, yes, but speaker design and research takes years and requires intricate attention to drivers and cross overs, the inner cavity of the unit, resonance, and not to mention a knack for mid-range. so while the speakers are gorgeous, how they sound will be a whole ‘nother story. given the $7,500 price tag, and the amazing sounding speakers that are out there in that range, i would think the buyers will be more of an aesthetic driven bunch than a musical bunch. i’m making a note to check them out but i simply can not imagine nirvana. that said bravo to the look of the piece. simple and pure. by uh
hey: here’s an idea…
everything sucks and nobody cares
for Scott Olsen: oakland or new york, 99% or 54%, either way somethings gotta change
fractured skull: “the irony is not lost on anyone here that scott olsen is a marine who survived two tours in iraq and is now seriously injured by the oakland police force and in critical condition…” what madness, and what misinformation: reverse robin hood – steal from the poor to give to the rich, some facts:
the misleading quote that “47% of americans pay zero or negative federal income tax” is inaccurate. the number 47% (or 50% if you ask one of the richest men, donald trump) relates to “single filers” and to the one recession year of 2009. not to all americans all the time. if you want to quote an accurate number then it is on average 14% and those are who make below poverty. most americans pay taxes excluding the super rich. read more
25 years ago 12% of americans took in 33% of the nations income, today just 1% of americans take in 40% of the nations income (VF). income for the top 1% (wealthiest americans) increased by 275%, while income for the bottom 20% increased by only 18%. by xy
