Daniel & Derek came today...

It's Saturday, quite cold here ... "littl-est d" (Daniel) and Dad (Derek) came by today ... we had a little Swiss Chalet and a visit with little d and Nana-Boo. Daniel looked pretty good with his 'new' haircut .. a little man ... Daniel said, "I had fun, playing with my toys .... and Soze is NUTS!!! Soze is wild!"

On this very cold valentine's day, I came across a great blog today: ideasonideas.com ... the blogger is a designer based in Vancouver ... tons of commentary on design, principles, branding, etc. whether it's print or web related ... also has a great section called "fresh", towards the bottom of the home page, mostly external links but some really neat stuff ...

Keep calm ...

In the spirit of keeping calm over the coming 48 hours with the oncoming winter blast, enjoy Yusuf Islam at the Naples' Concerto del Epifania.



... did he say "gracias"?

Say hello to my little friend ...

Whoa! Memories of Scarface or what?!?!! It what looks to be the most violent 24 episode ever, the dreaded (battery operated) power drill made its debut tonight ... Thankfully, to 'spoil the mood', that commercial with the flight attendant from hell who's trying to quit smoking made an appearance in the commercial break ...

Then, upon the return, we have shades of a previous season -- the brewing of a presidential coup ... Great pace ... but wait, Jack sees the silver suitcase with the green flashing light -- ya, we certainly do have "a problem.", but nothing Chloe and a screwdriver couldn't cure.


But, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Aaron Sorkin did more to convey a perceived accuracy of a fictional White House than anybody. It's a really high standard to meet, and 24's White House really stretches creduality, one that seems to have everyone in it wandering around like they're in a Lithium-enduced haze ...

All in all, CTU is where the action is ...well, there and the streets of L.A. ...

4 minutes, a reunion doesn't make...

The Police back together? A 4 minute rendition of Roxanne makes it a reunion? Sorry, folks -- kinda doesn't count ... just not long enough. All hype.... but, couldn't help but notice, 'ol Sting seemed to be wearing a Q-Ray on his right wrist ... perhaps that's the source of his tantra power...

Respectable Think Tanks?

Bill Maher's, 'tanks but no tanks' ...




... and now, how *not* to handle "Diversity Day" ... (it's a little long at 10', but hang in there ...

Welcome

Welcome to the Legato Lounge ...

Some of you may know legato as a term most used in music ... Italian, meaning to be bound together with no persceptible space or pause between the notes ... a description that could also resemble the feeling we have after we've taken a few minutes to surf the web ... the smooth transition from one site to another ... from one city to another ... from one country to another ...

...the feeling that there is really no persceptible space or pause between us.

Stay tuned for more musings ....
