See below for links to each of the four parts on IMDb If you enjoyed David Fincher's The Social Network as much as I did, you should check out IMDb's online streaming presentation of the 93-minute making-of documentary, How Did They Ever Make A Movie Of Facebook? It's the same documentary that's available on the Two-Disc DVD of The Social Network , but maybe you streamed the movie - or got a screener copy as I did (the awards screeners don't usually come with all the accessories). IMDb has split the documentary into four parts, each with a different url: Part One: Commencement Part Two: Boston Part Three: Los Angeles Part Four: The Lot Keep a note of these links, as there doesn't appear to be an automatic link to the next part of the documentary when one part ends. If you liked the movie, you should also check out the book on which Aaron Sorkin's excellent screenplay is based, The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich - or the rathe

Our six year old son, Hudson, wanted me to add the Fish widget to this blog, because he has it on his! So now you can feed the fish (just click your mouse over them) at the bottom of the left hand sidebar:)

This piece is from my wife, Charong Chow's food blog, Eating With Hudson . Muse is a remarkable school... Sean Shepherd: Chef at Muse Nestled in the hills of Topanga Canyon, California, is an extraordinary school called MUSE School CA . Inspired by the Italian Reggio educational philosophy, founders Suzy Amis-Cameron and Rebecca Amis wanted to create a school where minds and bodies were equally nourished. Students hike through the 20 plus acre campus, use self-motivated, project-based learning, and meet in global councils, as part of a truly exceptional, child-led approach to learning. MUSE students are truly "citizens of the world." They communicate and work with sister schools in New Zealand and Thailand, but at the same time they are completely in tune with their local community. One of the aspects of the school that greatly impressed me was the fact that the school has a real chef who prepares nutritious daily meals and snacks on site for the students and s

I mentioned on Twitter how much I love Barcelona and the city's signature architect-genius Antoni Gaudi , and moments later Andre Goes , a musician based in Brazil, I think, tweeted me a link to his charming video of Barcelona. It is full of energy and light - just like the city - and the accompanying song by Giulia y Los Tellarini perfectly fits the mood...and makes me want to go there again...NOW:)

Hyperbole And A Half - copyright 2011 Allie Brosh Some time back, in September 2010 , I mentioned a blog I loved called Hyperbole And A Half , created by Allie Brosh. Somewhere between a comic strip and short graphic novels, and drawn in an engagingly simplistic yet deceptively sophisticated - and sometimes disturbing - style, Hyperbole has quite a following, and with good reason. Allie's latest offering, Wolves , from which these images are taken, is a cautionary tale about Benny, a 13-year-old boy, who is lured into a "wolf pack" game by a bunch of six-year-old girls at a birthday party. What starts as a party game - at least from Benny's point of view - soon becomes an almost Lord of the Flies -esque run for survival.  The strip is funny, beautifully drawn, extremely perceptive of the nature of six year olds, and at times quite scary!
