One of the top animated films in the past several years, I stumbled across this web-based version of The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello.

Originally viewed this on Wholphin, and I’m greatly anticipating the next episode of this series. For more information, check out Jasper’s official site.

After long thinking that neighborhood markets, pubs, and cafes’ll get suburbanites back into the social realm, I also realize that those changes are oft-fought-against for the sake of privacy and quiet.

How’d the summer get away?

Perhaps ambition gets the best, as it’s tough doing anything but working (and playing) from the road.
