Point and Shoot

A while back ago www.gebond.com recommended a web based slideshow creator that he used for a friend’s wedding. I haven’t really tooled around with it until now. I think it’d be really useful for conference promo’s and slideshows. Anyway, here is a sample of the free 30 seconds of show animoto lets you create. This short took me less than five minutes to create.

A short film by Blu: an ambiguous animation painted on public walls.
Made in Buenos Aires and in Baden

I especially like how the “characters” interact with its surroundings. Wall art is a pretty big thing in Argentina. Enjoy!

About a month ago, Regina and I saw the movie Spanglish. It’s an atypical yet very entertaining Sandler movie. Anyhow, there is a scene in the movie, right before he and Flor have their big argument, where he makes a sandwich. Reg shouted, “that’s a sandwich by Thomas Keller!” He is the owner/head chef at a few famous restaurants, namely “French Laundry” – 3 Michelin stars. According to food bloggies, the sandwich is arguably the world’s greatest sandwich.

We attempted it for lunch today. We used french bread instead of the country loaf. Also, the egg yolk is supposed to runny, not solid. It’s supposed to make a difference if its runny. Anyway, it’s pretty much a BLT sandwich with a sunnyside egg, but nevertheless, it was pretty tasty. Here’s the recipe. And for you food and winers … recipe.
*edit – we tried it again for dinner. This time, the egg yolk was running all over the sandwich. Yum.
**edit – third times a charm. I think we nailed it!

Talking about lettuce, it reminded me of this SNL short. It always makes me laugh.
