Studios to create delay between dvd purchase and rent availability?
According to this article, as soon as next year studios will prohibit dvds from being rented for a period of time after they are released. This seems like a smart financial move, but isn't good for us, the consumers.
Top censored stories of 2009
After I finding that a lot of what had been broadcast last Summer in America regarding Russia's invasion of Georgia was false and then never corrected in America (for example the public airport was never bombed) I started looking for other blatant media washes and found this site. More on Georgia later.

Forest Hills virtual tour from Slate
I would often get off and on the Long Island Rail Road at Forest Hills for trips to visit my girlfriend in Queens. It's a fascinating and lovely place, seeming more European in its architecture and enduring appearance than it actually is. I later took a camera back to Forest Hills for an Architecture/Photography for a project that has since been lost. I was happy to see the familiar area again in the following history and slide show.
Forest Hills Gardens

Michael Gregg art found at yard sale
I work in the same building as Gregg but never knew anything about his art until recently when I ran into him at a yard sale. He had some of his work on the ground for sale beside an electrocutable Marv (Sin City) figure, old school Nintendo units, and a bunch of other randomness.
His collage art doesn't shy away from violence or sexuality while still being playful. Perhaps it's just the unexpectedness of finding such in the heart of the bible belt, but I like it.
He's working on a web site, hopefully it will have better quality photos.
