Stop the Presses

Hold the Elevator. Stop the presses. Rewrite page 5. Well if you wanted an encore you've got it. Newsweek this year takes you way back to the era of the 60s by publishing a special issues. A jam packet issue surrounding the Mad Men Television drama as many of the articles and information have been resurrected from Newsweek's "vault" as they call it. Not only is it fantastic go further behind the Mad Men story and whats to come in the proceeding seasons, but its literally a trip to read the articles that had been covered by the journalists working for the magazine so many years ago.

A Mad World

Score one for the ad man. Indeed, it has become a world (at least in the 60s) run by vicious "Mad Men" wanting nothing more than to coverse you into buying brand named products through collateral campaigns. Thus, these ad men beaming with nostalgia-alochole soaked brains put on quite the dramatic demonstrations of power in the hit television series.
Entertaient Weekly March 2012 issue ran an article on the his series of Mad Men which of course is hosted by A.M.C. Though by now we know what has become of Donald Draper as season 5 lights up like a Lucky Strike. Please get a copy of this magazine. Its still so exiting at least to me to go back and read these articles. Article by Dan Snierson as photos taken by Michael Muller.

Edgar Allen Poe Rises from the Grave

Missed out on ever meeting Edgar Allen Poe? Well I think everyone is in the same boat. Yet a man going by the name of David Keltz has immersed himself in Poe's works that he now recites the great poems (much like reciting Shakespeare) and stories, while he tours across the nation.

Shiver my Timbers

Just a word of warning. If my words start to slur, it must be noted that Ive been drinking rum and dodging the rough-high seas all day in a frantic effort to find my buried treasures. While in the meantime I have been reading this article and many more articles in Dark Realms Magazine Issue 12. This issue defiantly was so jam packet that the topics got my blooding boiling or in fact sent icy chills down my spine...but whatever the case maybe, if you want to discover  more about pirates and bounty you must read the article "Pirates, Tear on the High Seas" written by Vincent Kastle. Likewise, I must adhere to the Code of conduct established between myself and my scurvy mates as we plunder the world. So I can't divulged any more information that much is certain.
Other than the mayhem that my men and I have been causing, please read further... as I mention a few other interesting articles in other posts related to Issue 12...

Rain, Rain Go Away

An article in City Arts Dec. 2011 Adriana Grant writes about a designer that has made some unique raincoat designs, which not only keeps you dry, but lets you arrive in style.
 Though I do enjoy the rain myself, just not getting caught in a drown pour, defiantly is not my idea of a fun time. In essence I am always trying to look my best to fit into the business world of things and the fact I don't carry an umbrella too often leaves me in a bad predicament.
 These rain coats are a fantastic alternative to staying dry so that when you arrive to work or your meeting you won't have to ask for a towel. So like most artists that have come up with an idea she spend much of her off work time to design her clothing line. She has expanded into many other areas such as hats and ponchos.

Get Your Film Crew On!

So the big thing that has been going on for the last few years or longer as it seems has been reality TV. Which of course is really nothing new. Though Jason Fried wrote an article in the Nov 2011 issue of INC. Magaine, that describes how some companies are bringing small film crews into the office to capture the daily activities.
 I myself was not so sure that I would want to be on camera while I was working, but some of the office stories that I have heard about through the grape vine, makes me wish that a film crew was taking part. I recall a story where some co-worker sort of went postal and while he was on his rampage in the office the two ladies working the front area scrambled to lock themselves in the bathroom. Its sad, but true when I say that would make the headlines.
