Short film on, you know. “The guy that put dots on faces.” Really quick paced and super interesting. You won’t get bored watching it, so just start it, see how it goes and shortly afterwards it’ll have been five minutes and fifty five seconds later and this film will be done.

Enjoyable, especially since Tom Waits is so easy to listen to. Again, Pete Lynch for the recommend.

I may have posted this a few months ago. Recently at our place in Southern California, I’ve been toyin with the idea of getting a little adobe oven put together for pizza, and bread and other wonderful things.

At around the same time, I was given the Tartine Bread book by my father in-law and started putting together a basic country loaf with a sour dough starter that I had rolling.

After a few internet searches and discussions and reading the book. I discovered that the best way to bake a loaf in a conventional oven is to bake it inside of a cast iron pot. So I did this, and it came out wonderful. Since then, I’d baked a few more loafs however, never really got the best consistancy, or I gave up to soon.

Yet, after watching the film above, it seems as though you could perfect your bread baking abilities for years before you’d get something that would come out resembling something as beautiful as Tartine is able to create in their San Francisco shop.

Get hungry and watch the film.

This is one of the more clever short films I’ve seen recently about the “bespoke” movement that we’ve all been hearing about recently. They make a wonderful suite for this piece, however it’s not quite what you think and in the end is wonderfully delightful and amusing.

It’s like 2 minutes long, sit through it, you’ll be happy you did.

I never really do these “style board” things. My wife is really good about posting these things that she’s into. This spring and summer though it’s all about the blue van’s typically. Recently I splurged a little and bought myself some Navy Fred Perry Chino’s. Super psyched on them because they fit really well, and are still super comfortable that you can ride a bike in them and stuff.

Mostly this Spring/Summer I’m all about bags, but I put a few things up there that I’m into right now.

Monday’s suck. You know this, I know this, Garfield knows this. However, if you can take a few moments and take a minute to relax and watch some of these beautiful images. You’ll be pleasantly uplifted and maybe this weekend you’ll get your ass outside to enjoy it.

Time for me to get into surfing. I’ll probably never live this close to the ocean again.

This is a short video piece called Skate which is part of series called “Everyday”. Came across this ultra high speed camera work of some skating. Beautiful looking slow motion footage of a beautiful craft.

A friend of mine posted a scan of this on Facebook a few days ago. Someday when I’m known for all the shit I did when I was a kid I’m hoping to hand something like this over to someone who’s asking me questions I’d no longer be interested in answering. Pretty brilliant idea from a guy who ended up in one of the most famous cult classic trilogies of all time.

Can you imagine what Meatloaf has been asked over the years? Brilliant. Thanks Pete Lynch for the link.

Welcome to the Friday. I’m glad it’s here. I’ve been sitting in a dark room all week missing out on some great warm days. Just came across this piece this morning as I dream of walking out of the office this afternoon with a Coca-Cola in hand ready to take the weekend.

Don’t you just want to buy a bike and get in the group with these dudes to end up in Napa and jam out?
“It’s not about talking shop, or talking about what you do for a living. Most of the time I don’t even want to know what they do for a living. It’s just about spending time, and experiencing things.”

Sounds great, sit through it. Enjoy.
