T.P.S. Report
On January 2 – I published this post and declared a new strategy to content on this site. Since then, it might appear that things have been fairly quiet. Not to worry, a lot of ideas have been put in motion, including a new Art Concepts idea, a new May I Present to You, an SEO campaign, new front page design, and some other top secret concepts. Top Secret!!! In the meantime, I thought I’d share some things that have kept me entertained, engaged, stimulated and laughing.

Have you filled out your T.P.S Report? Let’s get on with it.
I’ve been reading ya’ll.
The Lotus Magazine is beautiful in every possible way. It’s also surprising. It does a superb job of representing the Lotus brand without over selling. They manage to blend history with contemporary culture in way that makes perfect sense. The latest issue features Mario Andretti, Swiss Beatz, Lindsay Lohan and Steve McQueen. Not to mention the gorgeous Lotus Cars. Definitely check it out.

I’m also reading the Kurt Vonnegut Biography, And So It Goes, by Charles J. Shields. It’s incredibly well written and obviously well researched. But, I will say, it’s kind of like discovering your idol is just as damaged as you are. News flash: Kurt Vonnegut was a human being.
And music.
Oliver and I are really into Lupe Fiasco’s Laser’s at the moment. It’s addictive!
Also, still into George Gershwin. His collection An American in Paris is not only the perfect name, but features an offering of his best work.
And watching. A lot – TV and movies.
Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Modern Family, Californication, The Cove, Kung Fu Hustle, The Natural and Super 8 – which I thought was brilliant and sentimental and endearing. Watch it! I’m looking forward to more laughs, escapism, and thought provoking films and shows in the coming months. After all, there are new seasons of Archer and An Idiot Abroad debuting soon…
Archer Season 3
So while I wait for my web nuggets to be mined?, I’m staying busy with lots of ideas, but also with a lot of reading, listening and watching. It’s been a long time coming.
Did I miss a great book, song or film? Please let me know.
