I tend to buy technology that is unique in design. I sold an old mobile phone for twice what I originally paid for it, and the phone was less than 10 years old. I'm still holding on to old PDAs like my beloved Apple Newton (anybody remember that one?) and would be inerested to see whatthey go...

A loss of a great comic talent, and (at times), a really snappy dresser! Bernie could have died an obscure comic playing small houses, but one big break (A Spike Lee documentary about comedians) turned him into a megastar. What a great career, and what an inspiration to us all to take advantage...

There was a German record label called JMT, which was distributed by Polygram in the US, that was one of my favorite labels in the world for the first 5 years of the 90s. They had Cassandra Wilson, Steve Coleman and Five Elements, Greg Osby, and I think the early Geri Allen stuff was on JMT...

I smoked an America Anthem today (that's the one in the fancy wood box) and I have to say I like this cigar. CAO rarely lets me down, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one.

BFA, Film. I ended up in advertising.

I was just watching 2010 on Friday.

I collect, restore, and play synthesizers and old drum machines. I can actually play drums and piano, but I like the synth sounds.

a bit of a revisited classic This is the cover of Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin, Issue #1. I have rotating comic book covers/sci-fi images as my desktop. <img src="http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/7149/saturnoirdesktopip8.png" border="0" alt="Iron Man on a G5" /></a>
