Man, what a fantastic coloring book…

You know, I thought I heard this was in the works, but now you can finally get your coffee "black as midnight on a moonless night" with special David Lynch Organic Coffee.

Normally, my pedestrian palate is satisfied by whatever I can find at Target that day, but as a former subscriber to Wrapped In Plastic, I might have to give this stuff a try.

And just in case you forget what a national treasure David Lynch is…here’s his opinions on whether you should watch a movie on an iPhone (well travelled, I know, but worth seeing every time)

Also, I’m a big fan of his book, Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity, which my wife was thoughtful enough to give me. (Go for the audiobook, read by the author version if you’re feeling extra "Lynchian"…)

Well, I’ve re-designed the site and re-christened it "How NOT To Write a Novel".

This revamp started because I envisioned a series of posts that would encompass all of the ways that I waste time and effort, rather than applying myself constructively to items on my "Wish To Do" List. Atop the list is a project for a novel that I’ve been chipping at for many, many years. I’ve done outlines, research, and spent some serious time daydreaming about the story, but have always put off the actual writing. Of course this isn’t a trait exclusive to writing….It’s pretty much my standard M.O. for most projects. Anywho, more on the novel later.

As for this blog, I wanted to chronicle all of the many side-projects and fun diversions that make life interesting (for me, at least). Often I feel like the go-to-guy amongst friends and family when it comes to anything related to DIY technology or video-related upgrades, and I wanted to begin posting some of my advice and how-to’s for topics that are not only distractions and diversions for the literary life, but hobbies in their own right.

The focus will be on technology and its impact on culture and the arts. Personally, I’m most interested in the access to and ease with which we can engage in popular culture, including the trend to remix (movies), mashup (music), and mod (games).
