I’m going to start a letter writing campaign encouraging the NBA to bring back those shorts and allow coaches to smoke cigars on the sidelines.

BREAKING:  Shane Battier announces, via twitter, that he will sign with the Miami Heat

I kept wondering, “Why would a guy like Shane Battier want to join the Miami Heat?”  Then I remembered he went to Duke.

LeBron doesn’t want to be the bad guy anymore?  Take a look at this villain.

“For some at Norton, The Bear Comes Home, whose main character is a saxophone-playing, wise-cracking bear who quotes Tony Curtis and William Blake, is a daunting marketing problem.”

This 1998 New York Times profile of Rafi Zabor is compelling. Zabor won the PEN/Faulkner award in 1998 after years of financial and personal struggles. Gerald Howard (a former Norton editor who has worked with Don Delillo, David Foster Wallace, Paul Auster, and Chuck Palahniuk) calls The Bear Comes Home, “the best work of fiction on jazz.” Now, I must read it.

MUST WATCH: Powers of Ten is a 1968 American documentary short film written and directed by Charles and Ray Eames. The film depicts the relative scale of the Universe in factors of ten (see also logarithmic scale and order of magnitude). The film is an adaptation of the book Cosmic View (1957) by Dutch educator Kees Boeke, and more recently is the basis of a new book version.  Both adaptations, film and book, follow the form of the Boeke original, adding color and photography to the black and white drawings employed by Boeke in his seminal work.

The film was rereleased in 1977. In 1998, “Powers of Ten” was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. [via]
