I’ve mentioned what a fan of Brad Pitt I am. Johnny Depp is another one of those fun actors that I really enjoy. He’s had some great roles in movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland, and Edward Scissorhands to name ...

Now that’s just clever. Not only were they able to create storage for all those books, but they also created a little loft at the the top that’s perfect for reading. It goes to show you that the best designs are those that have the most functionality in the most ...

I love messy artwork. Ric Stultz is no exception. His messes are amazingly composed–it’s as if every splatter and every drip are perfectly placed. Some of them are funny, with VHS tapes mourning their demise, or classic Nintendo controllers getting upset. Some of them are a little out there but ...

Gianluca has a really interesting style. It’s vector based illustration plus a touch of the eighties. I will call it IlloTron. I couldn’t really capture all the variation in his style in just a couple of images. He’s got some very lush, glamorous work, he also covers standard illustration styles, ...

I’m a big fan of Brad Pitt. I think he’s a great actor and I love the way that he portrays his characters. His role as Jesse James in the movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is certainly no exception. He, and the rest of ...

I consolidated all of my blogs here, under The Young Bostons. You can access every post I’ve ever done from Blogger, Bajooter, Atomic Euphonic, ...

I’m still on the lookout for creative furnishings for the house. The problem is finding something that both Mary and I will like. I tend to prefer the more modern stuff, like this chair and ottoman made out of luggage. I get the feeling that she’s not going to like ...

TMNT is a funny thing, on the one hand the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty silly; any 8 year old would love ‘em. But on the other hand they’ve managed to capture the mind of full grown adults. It’s so weird to enjoy imagining a world with turtles and ...

Runny noses
Congestion
Sneezing
Extra limbs
Scratchy throat
Extraneous antennae
Coughing
Foaming at the mouth
You know, the typical stuff. Kids get colds a bunch and there’s no cure for the darn things. The best you can ...

Mary and I don’t have a TV, nor do we have cable. We do watch a lot of movies though. In fact, we’ve watched one almost every night of this week (courtesy of Redbox). We just recently watched The Simpsons Movie, which I must say, is funnier than Bee Movie ...

After more than a year I’ve finally managed to finish We’ve Got Blog — a first hand account of the origins of blogging. It’s a fantastic book. The only reason it took me so long to finish is because the only time I have to read is when I’m, ehem, ...

The craftsmanship of this oak bench is incredible, but seriously, can you image what the plans for it must look like? I can barely manage to square up a couple of 2×4s.
I love how it captures the randomness of human interaction. On the other hand, it's static. I think ...

These quotes are all apparently real. I’m so afraid of our legal system now…
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isnt it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesnt know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
And just in case that didn’t scare you, ...

I’ve been looking and looking for some good, non-geeky guy blogs but you know, it’s really hard to find good stuff like that nowadays. I checked out the 9rules Network, and I should probably look a little deeper, but again, GEEKS. Geeks are everywhere.
Now don’t get me wrong, I ...

82%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?
The really sad thing about this is that I think I was doing most of the activities in this quiz while I was taking it. I would like to make some point about men and addiction or something like that, but I’m actually supposed to ...

What a cool idea to put a picket fence up around your baseboards! It hides all your cords and looks really fun too. This would be really easy to do on your own. I definitely think that the yellow walls really make it though.
In looking to solve the problem of ...

So I just signed up with Pay Per Post (PPP) maybe a week ago and so far I’m pretty happy with it. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the service, it’s essentially a way for advertisers to generate buzz, to promote their products ...

I have to admit that I really dig cartoons. I love the big bold lines and colors. I especially love a few cartoons, most of which were on the Cartoon Network although Disney has managed to produce one or two good ones. Since most of their artists are actually employees ...
