The true parable is spellbinding, funny, moving, and profound. A must-see.

All In This Tea Loved
That's the recipe for a delicious documentary, and this one delivers. A fanatical tea drinker in California becomes a connoisseur of fine teas, and then goes on to restore now forgotten traditions of organic artisan tea growing in China.

Being Elmo Liked
The insight offered in the film that even puppets have to be ABOUT something, was worth the ride for me.

A hundred questions are raised by the experiment and many are answered by this superbly crafted film. I recommend it highly.

The Parking Lot Movie Liked
The great joy of this film is that it gets you into their big heads. Their tiny patch of sub-culture is charming and amusing.

Bill Cunningham New York Loved
This film is not about fashion; it's about someone who has successfully invented their own occupation, and their life. It is uplifting. I smiled the whole time watching it.

Darkon Loved
This film captures the immense passion by which these misfits pursue their vocation. It's a great view of the human spirit. All hail Darkon!

It is a fun ride and its intimate journey into late night urban art will really help you appreciate what street artists are trying to do

Evernote Uses
I use Evernote for clipping. And I've long used NoteBook for keeping notes, although I will eventually migrate that function to Evernote.

Scrivener Liked
I use Scrivener to handle text while writing a book. It uses a 3x 5 card metaphor and it works for large complex projects.

EasyBatchPhoto Uses
I use EasyBatchPhoto to resize images to fit the blog, despite the fact that I always have Photoshop open.

MarsEdit Uses
I use MarsEdit, a Mac blogging client to blog on my MovableType blogs, so I can blog offline.

Postbox Liked
But in order to sync my mail to my new Mac Air while traveling, I just moved my mail off of Eudora and over to Postbox, which I am liking.

Logitech Wireless Presenter Uses
When I am presenting a talk I carry a Logitech Wireless Presenter for advancing slides remotely, and a Mac VGA dongle.

Garmin Nuvi 1300 Uses
In my boring Toyota minivan, I have a Garmin Nuvi 1300 and an old nano iPod, filled with podcasts and audio books.

Lumix FZ35 Loved
When I am seriously photographing I use a Lumix FZ35, with its awesome 18x optical zoom, the equivalent of something like a 400mm lens. It's super light and compact.
usesthis.com 2011-05-16
Fenix AA LED flashlight Uses
A tiny Fenix AA LED flashlight, a 3G Kindle, a Lumix pocket camera (FX37), and an old Motorola cell phone – no smart phone yet.
usesthis.com 2011-05-16
Wacom Graphire Uses
On my desk is a classic Wacom Graphire tablet for drawing, an ancient Panasonic 2-line phone, a Radio Shack headset (the only way to talk on a phone), a Transcend USB Card Reader, and a non-electric Brock Microscope.

Mac Air Loved
I travel with a tiny, lovely, cheery 11-inch Mac Air, which I love.
