  Eye blog — Authority: 125
  Ever since Google pushed other search engines such as Yahoo!, Ask Jeeves and Alta Vista out of the water, it has become the jumping off point for any question or query known to connected man, writes Camilla Grey . A quick peek at Google‘s Year End ‘Zeitgeist’ report reveals how much the connected world relies ...

• Live Free or Die Hard (Wiseman, 2007)

  
  Blographia Literaria — Authority: 459
  Like so many films that revived old franchises this decade, this one poses as a sort of restart, asserting above all that the history of its previous incarnations has to be overcome to make the film make sense to current tastes. I cant remember if its actually in the film or was in a review, but the basic premise is ...

• Links for the Holidays

  
  Blographia Literaria — Authority: 459
  I promise there will be real content on this blog again soon, but I just got done writing my papers for the term, and so this will have to suffice for now. John Self is one of the absolute paragons of lit-blogging, in my mind. Heres his year-in-reading list , containing a few books I already had on my to-read pile ...

• Year In Review: Decade In Review Is Kind of Depressing

  
  Omonomono — Authority: 112
  No, I’m not going to really try . I will point out, however, that since the turn of the century Japan’s animation industry has been changing drastically. People who worked in the industry for 20+ years are not seeing the same condition as those who are entering it in the past couple years. A lot has happened in ...

• Sublime from the (Virtual) Five and Dime

  
  The Online Photographer — Authority: 572
  By Calvin Amari Reading the last three TOP discussions and a perusing some of the referenced sites raise the following question in my mind. From the perspective of a photography collector, rather than relying on the traditional mechanism of the gallery system, would one be any worse off investing serious critical ...

• The Tenset

  
  The Online Photographer — Authority: 572
  Ill come right out with this...I wish every photographers website started out with the ten pictures (of their own, I mean) they love best. Call it a tenset to give it a name...a set of ten. A core set. A key set. A photographers ten best, or ten favorite, or ten most characteristic pictures, up front. Even if they ...

• The Future of the Photo Book

  
  The Online Photographer — Authority: 572
  The meaning of the photo book has changed radically in the digital era, sez me. Some time ago (not sure if anybody was listening, or cared) I made the point that photo books were how photographers communicated. Sure, serious photographers had shows—but despite the "occasion" of a show, the hard filter it placed on ...

• A Challenge for the Commentariat

  
  The Online Photographer — Authority: 572
  I have a slightly-more-formal-than-usual challenge for those of you who comment: Do you have a favorite photographer whose work you look at on his or her website? If youd like to play, please limit your nominations to people who have their own discrete websites (no flickr, etc.), and please write at least a couple of ...

• 15 Films of the 00s I Could Not Stand

  
  Blographia Literaria — Authority: 459
  (Unfortunately, no mustache can redeem this film.) I tweeted this list already, but Id like to re-do it here, with the opportunity for some slight expansion. 15. Capote (Bennett Miller, 05) Just so much worse than In Cold Blood (or Infamous , for that matter); also, Philip Seymour Hoffman was ridiculous ...

• #351 – Not Building a Name Brand

  
  Culture Rover — Authority: 112
  no logo, chicago-style? Naomi Klein would probably object, but no logo has a long, if not exactly anti-capitalist history in the Chicago area, which is filled with companies that brandish (or do not brandish as the case may be) their rather nondescript brand names: General Automation, Inc. ; Accurate Products, ...

• Follow Friday

  
  Blographia Literaria — Authority: 459
  For non-Twit(terer)s, there is an Internet tradition (of which I am well aware , thank you) of encouraging your followers to follow someone else (obviously in addition to you, not in place of you). Here is an expanded (non-Twitter) version of that. My friend Brendon Bouzard wraps up his "Year in Film" with some ...

• It’s an Asura Cryin’ Shame When Good Girls Go Bad

  
  Omonomono — Authority: 112
  There’s something weird about Asura Cryin’ that I can’t quite put my finger on. The show itself has a very compelling set of characteristics. The characterizations are hit and miss but they are all come across interestingly conceptually. The plot is overall solid even if unfolded in a way that can be a turn-off ...
