A few weeks ago, there was an interesting post over on the House of Naked blog, that discussed the impact of shooting film for your blog posts as opposed to using digital imagery. The world of Typepad and Movable Type is so immediate, that sometimes we lose sight of the impact good old-fashioned kodachrome can have on visual design.

Taking that a logical step further, it's interesting to see some new documentaries popping up on YouTube that have been professionally shot on Super8, such as this documentary about The Go! Team. I realize it's pretty easy to apply a compression filter in Final Cut that will apply a film look to video, but there's still something about real Super 8 that gives a raw, timeless appeal.

And if you like what you hear here, American Eagle are currently offering a free download of The Go! Team's "Milk Crisis", but for a limited time, so get it early for Thanksgiving.

Here’s something to pad your wallet before the holidays. The IRS has 110 billion in undeliverable refunds. Seems they can’t find the people to deliver them to.

What Would Jesus Buy? is the latest film from Morgan Spurlock about the consumerism of Christmas, featuring one of my favorite characters, Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping.

Eat up. Happy Thanksgiving!

I hate to be the first one to point this out, but I feel I must. There's a 600 pound gorilla in the room...a big drunken one, with baked bean breath and a bad accent...and we have to do something about it. That's right, I'm talking about all the winning Boston teams. I know it seems unlikely. I mean, the chances of two Boston teams doing well in the same year is like having two Ben Affleck flicks up for the same oscar. But three Boston teams winning their championships? (Sox, Pats and Celtics...it could happen) Well...that's actually in the Book of Revelations as being one of the signs of the Apocalypse. Throw in the unthinkable notion of the Bruins stepping up at the same time, and you've got the same effect as Ray and Egon crossing the streams...you know, dogs and cats living together.,.mass hysteria....seriously bad stuff.

So please, I don't mean to alarm anyone. it's still just a faint posibility. But please, at least once a day, pray for world peace, and for all Boston teams to lose all games, all the time.

Thank you.

Pick the first, the second, or both!

On the B side of the Chuck and Huck 45, you'll find a different tune. It's called Chuck likes bucks...especially yours. (Wait...isn't he a Republican?)
