Hey I did the screen animations in this intro video-basically all of the parts that resemble the website, as well as the transition to and from the animated world (the rest was by my talented colleague Jonny Bursnell, at Blind Pig in London).

My mom and I at a baseball game in 1991. 
When I was in my awkward, horrible, teenage years I thought being like my mom would be the worst thing ever, but now it’s what I aspire to. She’s hardworking, caring, compassionate, and tireless, with a dry sense of humor that plenty of people miss (and also a very silly side, as seen above).

I’m still not sure why Sandra Bullock is in this film, but I can get past that. This trailer gives me chills, and it reminds me of one of my favorite Ray Bradbury stories (“Kaleidoscope” from The Illustrated Man). Cuarón has made some of my favorite ever films and I’ll definitely be seeing this as soon as it’s in theaters.

This is some incredible spam email.

How do you get hired doing illegitimate photoshops for a state department? I want this job and am clearly overqualified.

Saw this at the Museum of the Moving Image’s music video special exhibit (along with many  many others) and was totally charmed.

Slick looking video, super catchy song with great production, lots of rad ladies, and some bonus chair-dancing.

I wrote about my student loans for The Billfold.

That site has really shown me the value of transparency when talking about money issues, so I contributed with my own experiences in going to a very expensive private school and grappling with the debt I incurred. Sharing experiences is the only way to see how common a situation is, and to truly understand how broken our systems are.

New-ish Cyriak video made from incredible 1950s stock footage for “Cirrus” by Bonobo. The fractal escalation is kind of his trademark, but I love the way he uses the space and movement in the source footage to drive the machinery of where the piece winds up at its climax.
