Baroque Eyes - Moo Piyasombatkul
What do you get when you mix modern styling with classic garniture? An interior design degree! That or these glasses by Moo Piyasombatkul - lovingly known as Moo Pie by probably no one.
Chess With Friends
I downloaded the Chess With Friends app, but since none of my friends play chess, it's more like Chess With Randos. Nevertheless, it has been a goldmine of hilarious games. Here is one where I trolled with the Evans Gambit
Haute Pooch-ure?
Okay that barely made sense but Lanvin and Givenchy are featuring dogs this fall, although the Lanvin dog looks much more cuddly.
Cinemagraph
My attempt at a cinemagraph. This was my first time working with a GIF (seriously though, what non-forum troll purpose do they have?) so I kind of messed it up. I shot this at 30 fps, whereas GIFs should be much lower - around 5-10. The resulting file size was so huge I had to lower the quality considerably to get it to play.
At any (frame) rate, it is a very cool technique that I'm going to try more in the future.
Limitless
The Social Network and Limitless have taught me quite a few things about intelligent people: they like wearing collared shirts, they talk too quickly, and they are irresistible to women when they are successful and hopeless losers when they are not. Also they like talking about algorithms.

The Certain Prey shooting begins tomorrow! Having TV shows and movies filmed at the Thompson is obviously a bit of an inconvenience - what with the road blockages, bright lights, and teamsters yelling swears at all hours of the day - but it's all worth it if it contributes to Toronto's cultural capital, right?
... And Heavy-D Up in the Limousine
Raf Simons Wide Leg Trousers
Quickly: which shot is of the front and which shot is of the back? Exactly.
CSI: Toronto
So a guy came into the subway with absurdly large shoes. So large in fact that I had to take a picture. Unfortunately the iPhone’s extremely wide angle lens skews the perspective of the picture considerably – although still large in the picture, the shoes were much larger in real life. Without the picture, there is no way for me to convey how hilariously massive this individual’s shoes were… or is there?
Adobe Technology Sneaks 2011: Warp Stabilizer for AE
Pretty awesome. Unmentioned seems to be some sort of Content-Aware technology for the edges in place of motion tiling/repeating edge pixels. That's huge! Not just for stabilization but for camera shake, camera moves, and I'm sure some other things too.

Gulliver's Travels
From the studio that brought you Night at the Museum comes.. pretty much the same movie. Starring Jack Black as Jack Black playing Jack Black.
Devil, And Why Brown People Always Die First
One of the few movies with "devil" in the title that's actually about the Devil.
I chose to watch Devil over Buried. The decision seemed rational at the time. Buried is a one-word-title movie about some person stuck in a claustrophobic setting and features a Canadian guy. Devil is a one-word-title movie about some persons stuck in a claustrophobic setting, is written by a brown guy, and has a main character that looks like a brown guy. Dividing both sides by their common elements, I was left to decide whether 2(brown guys) + some other people > 1(Canadian guy). The answer was certainly yes. Unfortunately the first brown guy died, and the second was M. Night Shymalan.
