Yahoo ads are so funny sometimes. This came up while reading about a performance of one of Duke’s larger works here in Austin

This is a really addictive game…if you are in to extremely nerdy stock market games, like me. I was up to $28,000 and lost almost all of it when the company I had invested in took a nose dive in the 3rd quarter of 2008. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I am not sure if you guys are aware of a grassroots campaign to elect a lesser known person as president in 2008. It is actually someone you know. There is a video of the news report in the link above. Check it out!
Here is a video about a new product that a company in Mason TX has started to develop. It is a Block similar to a cinder block that can be used in building. The new greenstar blox contain 65% recycled paper and lottery tickets. The blocks are twice as strong as cinder blocks and are water, mold, fire and termite proof. They only weigh 1/3 as much as a cinder block and they make buildings incredibly efficient. Check out the video. I think products like this are really exciting
I just received an email about this film being released in December. This should be a great film. I first met the filmmakers when I was working with Charlie on a studio recording and they were begining the documentary process. About a year and a half later they contacted me and I transcribed a bunch of the video interviews with Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny, Charlie, Joe Lovano, Ethan Iverson, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Ravi Coltrane and more. I am excited to see how the film turns out. I was happy to be involved in all of this stuff because I was able to see 30-90 minute interviews with all of the above named people. Within the movie, they can only use soundbytes and short stories but they were all really interesting, especially the int. with Keith Jarrett because he talked a lot about one of my favorite groups; Keith, Charlie, Paul Motian and Dewey Redman. From what I can tell, the film will premiere in conjunction with Charlies new album with his family and then it will be on a festival tour most of 09 and then released late 09 on DVD. I will let you know when I hear more about the film coming out.
