https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU01xa6YntE
Who knew there could be so much intrigue in an oil painting class? It must be the intense creative process that unleashes all that drama. Or maybe it's the fact that here we have: Half A Duck Head.
Folks, here it is, the latest episode of The Artist Diaries. Like...
San Jose Sharks: Sinatra could’ve done it better by phone
Even Frank Sinatra could have dialed this one in. At least he'd look cool though. The San Jose Sharks gave 'lifeless' new meaning in a potential series-ending game four as they were blown out 7-1 by Detroit. So long sweep.
Earlier today, I was thinking that this was their chance to...
Theater Review: ‘Round and Round the Garden’ over-intellectualizes bawdy
Norman the librarian is one heck of a swinger, baby. The three woman in his life are disgusted by his philandering ways, at least most of the time. But for some mysterious, bullocks-to-the-wind reason find themselves drawn to his sexual, animal instinct and swagger.
It could be his fur hat....
Google search interface updated, loses five o’clock shadow
Has Google updated its famously iconic search interface? It would seem so, and I admit that this was not necessarily a discovery of my own making; several others have been jubilant in pointing out the minor changes to me almost as if they'd seen Woody Allen drifting in space.
Since it's Google then it...
San Jose Sharks: Series stranglehold thanks to Ottawa 67’s connection
The San Jose Sharks can smile, if just a little, thanks to another come from behind win. This time they poured it on in the third period, scoring two goals and taking the game to OT where Marleau finished off the 4-3 win thanks to a thread-the-needle pass from...
British sex farce ‘Round and Round the Garden’ comes to ACT San Francisco
Only in England, you say? Round and Round the Garden, the third installment of Alan Ayckbourn's acclaimed trilogy The Norman Conquests, opens tomorrow night at the always inventive American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.
In this sex farce, librarian Normal "channels his inner Casanova" when he attempts to seduce his...
Theater Review: ‘Slasher’ at SF Playhouse, not off the hook
Slasher goes for the jugular, but comes up short. The Bay Area premiere now playing at SF Playhouse succeeds, though, in spilling blood. Lots of it.
If not perfect, for committed horror fans like myself it's still a welcome treat simply because the subject matter is not given much attention...
Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch, moves to Seattle?
Michael Arrington, who founded TechCrunch in 2005, has announced that he "moved" his primary residence to Seattle last weekend. According to a post first thing this morning (Hi, Seattle) on the popular tech blog, he says he'll split time between his new home there and Silicon Valley.
Why the move?...
San Jose Sharks: Game 2, a tale of two Joes
At first it looked like Detroit had sprung the perfect road game tonight at HP Pavilion. By the third, though, the genius of head coach Todd McLellan had come to bear: the Sharks were playing the perfect road game. At home.
Indeed, they would bend, but not break in their 4-3...
Sunday Espresso: Life is a B&H, Bloody Wine, Non-professionals Only?
As I said, some mornings my mind is blank. I sit here thinking about the NHL playoffs, our visit to Napa yesterday, or what it was like growing up in Ottawa in the 1970's and 80's. The latter was triggered by memories of old family photos found clicking through...
