Some of you guys were kind enough to let me brag in here a while ago about my first film, THE LEAST OF THESE, being available on Netflix and airing on Starz. Very excited to announce that, at long last, it's been released on DVD by Vivendi Universal! Would love to put the word out there in...

It's a slow news day and I'm procrastinating on a rewrite. Where better to do that than Interference? I'm musing about "I Will Follow", which has rarely been out of the setlist rotation since 1980. (Zoo TV Tour notwithstanding.) It's arguably the iconic U2 song -- their first single, one of...

So some friends of mine and I collaborated on a spec commercial for this "Crash the Super Bowl" contest for Doritos....and out of 4,000 submissions, we were one of the top six! Pretty cool. America's votes now decide the top three to air in the Super Bowl, and our little spot could use all the...

Prompted by some positive comments in FYM, where a few folks asked me to post the trailer for my first feature, I thought, "perhaps there may be some at the Lemonade Stand who might be interested in checking it out." So.... voila -- a trailer for my feature "The Least of These," starring Isaiah...

Stemming off the "God Choice" thread I thought this would be interesting fodder for discussion as well....? First page of the five-page interview is below. Very thought-provoking, or so it seems...? Evolution, the Bible, and the Book of Nature A conversation with Francis Collins. Evolution...

How Does the Black Community Handle an Obama Loss? | Newsweek Politics: Campaign 2008 | Newsweek.com Fascinating article from Newsweek about race and the race. It's interesting that in an historic election, voters energized because of the candidates' race or gender seem to believe that race or...

This is not one of the 1,098,076 threads devoted to requests for Mercy, or debates about its awesomeness (or lack thereof). Rather, I'm curious. Let's say Mercy does make it onto the new album. Does that remove some of the mystique from the song? Does part of Mercy's support on this and...
