Caine's Cardboard Arcade


Caine's Arcade from Nirvan Mullick on Vimeo.

This short film about a 9-year-old's cardboard arcade reminds me of what I was like when I was a kid--forever occupied by a pile of boxes and tape and imagination. It's full of good energy and smiles and high fives.

Baggage Check



Happy Monday! The exclamation point is excessive, but I'm trying to appear bright-eyed and bushy tailed for both our sakes.

More updates and musings on creative spaces tomorrow. For now, I suggest you visit the Emotional Bag Check to dump any Monday woes that might be hanging on your coattails.

You can anonymously "dump your baggage," and people respond to your troubles with a song and a nice comment. You can return the favor by reading about someone's baggage and sending them a song via grooveshark. It's all anonymous--the site sends you an email notification when someone has responded to your baggage. Sometimes, you get more than one response. Sometimes, you even get a 98 Degrees song from the 90s to cheer you up.

It's totally adorable. Do it.

EDIT: In the time it took me to make this post, Emotional Bag Check closed itself for maintenance. Bummer! I'll leave this up anyway, because you should hang onto this link--if it's ever up and running again, I promise you, it's worth it.
