South Philly Do-Or-Die.
So I’m just gonna say it. South Philly has a lot of sucky aspects. There are some people down here that are just SO stupid and/or inconsiderate. There’s trash like urban tumbleweed because the city stopped street sweeping and removed corner trash cans. There’s drug dealing corner bars that go unchecked for generations. (until recently that is :-) But I’m not really wanting to focus on the negatives. (like parking during, and after a snow storm) What I want to focus on here for a little bit are the positives. And there are some seriously nice positives.

The future of “Print”?
Wow. Talk about deep content. This little visualization of what Sports Illustrated could turn into on is completely “Game ON!” (sorry, had to do it) This is exactly the type of thing that has so many people excited about the prospect of some sort of Apple “Tablet”.

Awesometown, population Pomplamoose.
Pomplamoose is basically a duo (and a happy couple btw) out of San Fran! She’s Nataly Dawn, saucy but demure, and smart… with a voice on her that makes you sit up and listen. And he’s Jack Conte, creative and free, and talented. (and the ladies at my work feel he’s a looker too!) And they make goddamn good music! And VideoSongs too! VideoSongs are basically WYSIWYG music.
Our Selfish Priorities
Who’s looking out for Big Insurance?! They keep our selfish priorities in check when we can’t.
Pizza Hut and Taco Bell
Me thinks I’m a little out of the loop… I just discovered Pizza Hut and Taco Bell! I can’t stop listening…
