I've been following the Tesla Motors story for about a year and a half now.

It made me sad, frustrated, angry - but I'm still glad I watched it. Has anyone had a successful electrical conversion of their hybrid car?
I loved Brad Bird's The Incredibles, and in general I love Pixar films. So I was excited to hear about Ratatouille. Today I noticed not one bad review over here. Now how to convince the wife to go see a "cartoon" about a rat?
My brother, Eric, was the Director of Photography on a feature film called Things To Do. The film is directed, written and starring a couple of his friends: Theodore Bezaire and Mike Stasko. It was in a couple film festivals last year and has received some good reviews. If you're in the Chicago area, go check it out on the Jan 12th weekend at the Gene Siskel Film Theater (apologies for the messy website!). I'll be checking it out (for the first time) either Friday or Monday.
It's also opening in Portland, Oregon this weekend too. And hey, if you're in Canada, apparently you can buy it at Blockbuster as well as Amazon.ca, Chapters and Cinema1.
