Ten Worst and Best Foods →
Sadly, I’ve eaten every one of the bad foods—and most of them, in the last few months. The only one I haven’t tried is the Coldstone “Oh Fudge” shake. And now I want one. Desperately.
RIP Ray Harryhausen: 1920 - 2013 →
I cut my fantasy film teeth on his earliest efforts, and several of them still rank among my favorite nostalgic experiences.
The world of film effects owes Ray a great debt. Rest in piece, Mr. Harryhausen.

Creative Loafing Atlanta | 100 Dishes →
Man, I’ve eaten so few of these. In my defense, the creators of this list made an obvious effort to include vegetarian faire, seafood and cocktails, none of which are my usual choices. And even though I’ve been in Atlanta for fourteen years, some of these restaurants have only been here for a couple.
Also, I’m an unhip suburbanite.
Here’s what I’ve tried from...
2013 Best and Worst Careers -- Ranking - WSJ.com →
This is an interesting list. SPOILER: The last-ranked job is Newspaper Journalist, which makes sense, since those are going the way of the dodo. But some of their listings make very little sense. For example, why does “senior corporate executive” rank near the bottom? They obviously don’t know any of the rich execs in my company. And they list a bunch of creative pursuits...

Ouch. I assumed that we’d be top ten, at least. I guess I was assuming that Oladipo and Zeller would return, based on how much they stunk down the stretch. I think both could hugely benefit from one more...

The Superhero Media Crossover Project
It’s easy to forget how much the comic stylings of the 60’s and 70’s have inspired modern films and just how timeless those two-dimensional, spandex-clad superheroes can be. This series replaces live action with the lines they were born from, interlacing cinematography with storyboard.
