The Hunger Games: Full Trailer

First full trailer for the upcoming film, The Hunger Games. The visual look of this film is quite intriguing and presents a vision of the future that reminds me of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and William Golding.

Some of my favorite stills below.

Metronomy: Everything Goes My Way

My anthem for the week. Their latest album The English Riviera is a gem of indie electropop music.

Stella's First Year

Celebrated my daughter's first birthday this past weekend. Above is a montage of moments and highlights from the past 12 months.

Music Track: The Perpetual Self or "What Would Saul Alinsky Do" by Sufjan Stevens.

Sexual Camouflage

My good friend from UH, Brian Gossett, recently asked me to be a guest mix on his blog. Anyone who knows me would have heard these songs quite a bit over the last few months or so. The original title was going to be "The Vernal Equinox" but March was quite a busy month and the equinox came and went. The current title came to me while watching an episode of Nova on cuttlefish. Enjoy.

Intel Visual Life: The Sartorialist

Great behind the scene look of Scott Schumann, The Sartorialist, and his insights into the process that goes behind his blog and photographic approach to style.

Wenger EvoWood 10

While normally I'm partial to Victorinox Spartan, the Wenger EvoWood series is an interesting take on the Evolution series created by Wenger in 2005. With a new emphasis on sustainability these pocketknives are constructed from top quality walnut that would normally be considered waste material from other production processes.

For my money the EvoWood 10 has all the basics you would need for day to day life almost identical to the EvoWood 11 but it swaps out the Phillips for a corkscrew.
