Pixar, titles and type with SUSAN BRADLEY
Manager of Walt Disney Studios' Title Graphics Department for six years before moving on to design titles for a number of live action films, Susan Bradley teamed up with the Pixar gang again in 2006 and was involved in their recent animated success, Ratatouille.
Read about her and (a little) future Pixar project gossip.
[Thanks]

A First From Netflix (YMMV)
This came in the afternoon eMail from Netflix. Can't say that I have ever seen this message before much less having to send the film from so far away.
They ways of those in Los Gatos are strange to us mortals.

First Look at the New 1701
Moviephone has a sneak peek at the 'new' Enterprise. ("the first photo released from the eagerly anticipated 'Star Trek' film, directed by J.J. Abrams and due in theaters this December.") Go check out the whole enchilada over at their site. Cast photos as well but I think you all know who the real star of the show is going to be.
Still not 100% on board with Winona, but in for a penny in for a pound. BTW: Star Trek The Animated Series is shockingly not as bad as I had thought. Disk 2 really picks up in quality.

QotD: Cards & Letters
What do you do with the cards and letters you receive? Do you keep them all, just keep the photos, throw them away?
Inspired by jacolily.
Save them and our box is almost to the point where we will need a 2nd box.
Now that the USPS is almost 100% self-adhesive stamps, I occasionally try to peel off the stamp (and return address labels) if they are interesting. I guess I never have gotten over my stamp collecting phase that every boy apparently goes thru at some point.
Case in point (stamps I want to see in 2008):
Go see all the 2008 collection. Chi: scroll to the end to see the Nutcrackers :)

For the (thirsty) man who has everything
From the Frontgate catalog - an electric martini shaker.
Yes,
an electric martini shaker. For (just shy of) $100, you can have a machine
that will simplify the difficult task of making shaking your martinis. Designed for the most
discriminating of drinkers, this device gives you the option of shaken
or stirred martinis.
To show you how much I have thought about this I will ask another question: Who makes stirred martinis in a cocktail 'shaker'?. Perhaps the next time I run into Mr. Gatsby I will be sure to ask him, I hear he is living in Qatar these days.
Now it would be funny to buy one of these and then have your butler/manservant/valet use it for your drinks.
