Why the Internet?

I particularly liked the segment with Apple's Jonathan Ive. And filmmaker Gary Hustwit's advice: "Don't go to film school. Just buy a camera and shoot what fascinates you"

If I must be in The System, I'd like to look my best

by smays.com

Sometimes I forget --just for half a second-- that I (somewhat sloppily) photoshopped this image. "How nice that they let him keep his shades and fez for the mug shot."

I also wonder about the home-made "how tall am I" thing glued to the wall. There must be companies that sell these. Did someone in the Dept. of Corrections decide they could save a few dollars by making one?
This image was brought to mind by a visit to http://nicolasmoerman.com/

Hello? This is Carlton, the doorman...

Investigators still lack one key piece of information about the fake hostage situation at a government buidling in Jefferson City two weeks ago. They know where the call came to. They don’t know where the call came from.

Investigators say somebody got the unlisted number for an elevator telephone in the building, called it, and told the elevator rider who answered there was a hostage situation underway on the fifth floor of the building. That person told a second person who then told her supervisor who then told the alarm company that then called police.

 Five law enforcement agencies responded. The building was evacuated. Streets were blocked off for four hours

I love that someone thought to build these and found those willing to do so. Who were these people and what stories could they tell. Be sure to see other examples via the link below the photo above.
