sweets at sweet revenge

in a previous post i mentioned how sweet revenge was one of our favorite new places on carmine street. well we had the honor of shooting their food photography - with dave behind the lens. here’s a couple of shots of why we’re fans…and man is it making me hungry.

ok…it’s time to laugh at ourselves and our creative industry, i think this is some of the funniest (and so painfully close to home) comic blurbs i’ve seen in a while. businessguysonbusinesstrips.com has a great view on the business of interactive and creative. as the site description states:

For people who live in quiet desperation. For those out there who live to justify their redundant and unnecessary corporate positions. For those who earn a lot of money and have no idea what they’re doing. This is for you.

enjoy..and thanks radian, for passing this link.

barring all political, social and environmental strife that china is going through - and i know people A LOT smarter than me will be discussing these points for a long time - the opening ceremonies of the 2008 beijing olympic games were truly a wonder to behold! it really was a masterful presentation of history, accomplishment and might.

even though i thought the athens 2004 ceremonies were spectacular, these were undoubtedly the best opening ceremonies ever. yes, it’s hard to a greek to say that, but the truth is the truth. now i’ll just wait till the dvd comes out on out on blu-ray to see them in HD, that way i’ll be able to view with better clarity the fireworks cgi.

this is 2008…does anyone believe they can get away with stuff like that? between that and the skiing ostrich on youtube…it’s hard to trust our own eyes these days. regardless of all that, the synchronized mass within ‘the bird’s nest’ was visually very cool! so, in case you didn’t get a chance to see them in their entirety, or just wanna see the fake pyrotechnics one more time, go to http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/player.html?assetid=0808_hd_oc_au_en198
