Thomas Pynchon’s newest book, “Bleeding Edge,” is releasing September 17th. If you are interested in reading it as part of a group, drop a note in the comments below and I will reach out to you. The group will have a secret board on Goodreads for talking to each other, and will likely meet in person in Seattle a couple of times over a couple of months post-syndication.
Get your Pynchon on.

I’m taking bets on the first Richard III adaptation we’ll see with “scientific verisimilitude of disability.”
A skeleton with a cleaved skull and a curved spine entombed under a car park is that of Richard III, archaeologists said on Monday, solving a 500-year-old mystery about the final resting place of the last English king to die in battle.
Check out the full story on Reuters.

Over the last 6 or 7 years, I’ve taken many thousands of photos while traveling, generally on one international trip per year. Videos like this India travelogue are making me think I should focus on shooting video instead.

Logistically speaking, do any of you have experience trying to shoot video for several weeks at a time? Do you have to take a computer to offload to, or do you just take lots of storage cards with you?

Here is a quote from Brett Easton Ellis on David Foster Wallace, who for obvious reasons, is no longer able to defend himself:
Anyone who finds David Foster Wallace a literary genius has got to be included in the Literary Doucebag-Fools Pantheon

Keanu Reeves (yeah, I know) has made a documentary on the digitization and democratization of film. It looks fantastic and features a bunch of the best filmmakers of our generation.
