A great, short profile directed by Spike Jonze

Advice from the successful radio host on ‘making independent media. Making it, and making it your job.’

This is important.

Saccharine and cliché of course, but that doesn't make it any less important.

“For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared.

A Flash game in the vein of Jason Rohrer's 'Passage'. It sort of picks up where Passage leaves off. Minorly challenging, stylish, and a dark, fun story to play.

"Carrey’s dream sequence of movies is a prophecy, a warning that this clanking ego-apparatus in which each of us walks around, this fissured, monumental self, half Job and half Bertie Wooster, cannot be sustained. Out of his own seemingly bottomless disquiet, Carrey writhes and reaches into the bottomless disquiet of his audience."
