I’m late to the ball game on this one but I’m seeing more news about the “consumer comeback” in Q2 and I had to put something up. A 2.6% GDP growth is great and if Bloomberg is to be believed then consumer spending was a significant contributor (1.9%) to that growth. No doubt there was […]

Setting the Stage
In Aaron Sorkin’s early 2000s hit drama, The West Wing, one notices a predilection for the director to have the series’ characters conduct conversations whilst hastily moving through the West Wing of the White House. The tracking shots that accompany these dialogues allows for the viewer to feel as though they’re walking with the characters and […]

Each episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars opens with the John Williams’ Star Wars Theme and a short quote that serves as the episode’s motif (pictured). An example of an opening quote from the series Star Wars: The […]
Homecoming
The walls of the room were streaked with a full palette of colors, swirling about in an abstract fashion. There was a time when the room would have been described as vibrant, but now that vibrancy was tarnished. The paint was chipped and peeling in many places, and the walls had more than a few […]
Disquieting History
Today Google commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Silent Parade – a protest held in New York City as a response to the East St. Louis Riots. The Silent Parade is regarded as the second instance of demonstrations in favor of civil rights. All of that information is available on the Wikipedia page though. The […]
