- Sita Sings The Blues
So much love for this film on so many levels. Let me see now, if I can put this love into words.

- GIF of the Week
I’m pretty sure I will never stop enjoying GIFs. The subtle humor, and general geek craftiness that goes into making these simple animations is playful and fun for all. Not just bling on your dying MySpace page, I’d argue the GIF is timeless…

- Swine Flu In Fashion
After many discussions about Swine Flu, and a visitor from Mexico City, I thought it was only a matter of time before some ridiculous new fashion surfaced, inspired by the face masks many people wear to protect themselves from the disease.
Low and behold. I was right! Of course, the use of masks in subculture, as [...]
