Berkeley Fire Department

The “Big Apple” has been successful in branding FDNY. I really think our area firehouse should do the same.

Happy Friday and "What Horror Film Should I Watch?"

NoahC — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:48:00 +0000

If you are a horror movie fan or just wanting to know what horror film to watch on any given day I just got the perfect book as a gift for Christmas (yeah, I know it’s January but apparently there was a hold up). Anyway, the book is Bryan Senn’s, A Year of Fear: A Day-by-day Guide to 366 Horror Films. It’s a fun read but what makes it especially valuable to me is that it helps narrow down my choice of what to watch and give a historical reason to back it up. For example, for today (January 17th) Senn recommends the 1963 schlock-fest “The Slime People“. The reason? It’s the anniversary of the death of Thomas Crapper – inventor of the flush toilet. I don’t know about you but that’s all the reason I need. Happy Friday! [okay, so it's Saturday...lets not get nit-picky]

Sodomy Tax – Gay Marriage

NoahC — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 01:27:00 +0000

It’s with a bit of hesitation that I share this link with you (even though it’s been out on the web for many years now). In 2003 I started a web site called “CalifOracle” in response to never-ending stories of corporate acquisitions and the de-humanizing of the world by capital interests (in this case the acquisition of the state of California by Oracle – Calif…Oracle). So, one of the stories I wrote was a satire (albeit DARK) of the issue of gays, lesbians and same-sex marriage. I most intentionally took a very disconnected, capitalist, de-humanized, and clearly homo-phobic tone. If you have the stomach for and/or enjoy dark humor head on over to the article “Sodomy Tax” over at www.califoracle.com. Note, overall the site is a bit of a mess as I haven’t touched it in years…enjoy? lol

Want to watch the perfect movie to celebrate the change of guard in the Oval Office? Check out Master’s of Horror episode “Homecoming” by Director Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling). It’s out on DVD so you can rent or buy it and it runs just under 1 hour. It is a satirical look at the Bush administration, Fox News, and the un-American way in which these forces treated the public and our friends and family in the armed forces. Check out the trailer here:

This has got to be the best flash animation I have seen in a long time. As someone who stares at the same program window on my computer for hours, if not days, at a time, I can imagine how the inspiration for this began…very cool and funny. Check it out over at DeviantArt.com.
