Charlie Rose on the Pres of Iran
The other night while riding bike I was watching some more Charlie Rose vids. This one was vastly interesting.
A guy wonders how much of this is cultural or language difference? I doubt it is the case here, but that has gotta be damn tough.
Overheard at the Coffee Shop
An older customer says to the barista today : “That is the first thing I am going to ask when I meet St. Peter at the gates - ‘Where’s the coffee, and none of the decaf shit. I want the real stuff’. Then the next question is ‘Where is the smoking room?’. If they don’t [...]
Adamantine Arts VidCast #1: PPL Mentoring Visit with Stephen Capiz
Tonight was the start of three new things.
If it says “Alan Smithee”, it’s gotta be good
