Hi! I'm Lisa. I make videos about TV and movies. This is my tumblr about the work I do and the news, trends and technologies that touch it, with the occasional totally unrelated bit thrown in. You'll find editorlisa at/on/around gmail, vimeo, and twitter.

Those of you who trusted my recommendation to tune in to Mad Men should check out Architecture School, which premieres tonight at 9pm on Sundance Channel.  The six-part documentary series follows a group of students compete to design and build a low-cost single-family home in New Orleans through Tulane University’s URBANbuild program.  But beyond that, it’s about the continuing struggles of neighborhood residents to rebuild their lives and revitalize their community after Hurricane Katrina.  This dual-perspective approach to storytelling makes for an incredibly layered and compelling show that’s getting great reviews.  Anyone interested in architecture, design, New Orleans, socio-economic issues, and urban development should tune in.  Episodes are also available On Demand and on iTunes.

Free _______!

sharingtime:

Have you been offered granola bars or crackers for free in Union Square recently? I haven’t bit, but my guess is that someone’s trying to convert me.

Anyone take the bait?

Not granola bars, but last night my friend and I were walking on 23rd between 6th & 7th and were offered free ice cream bars.  I don’t know why it unnerved me — as far as I could tell when glancing over to see what the eff this stranger was saying to us, the packages were sealed — but it did.  Maybe it seemed strange to me because it didn’t appear to seem strange to her.

drunkbrunch: mascarah: Sonoma Valley @ one of Gallo’s many vineyards. So beautiful. If you have a moment, make a stop at Hanna Winery in Sonoma. I loved the view overlooking the vineyards. And when you’re at Hanna, look south and wave to Mom and Pops.  Joseph Family Vineyards, my family’s property, is the next property down.

la vie parisienne

My best friend Amy started an Etsy shop to sell handmade, French-inspired lovely things.  My personal favorite is the jewelry tree, a place to keep and display necklaces because, as she says, “they might as well decorate my boudoir when they’re not decorating my neck.”

Grassroots Soccer UNITED
Beginning August 20th, Survivor Africa winner, soccer player, AIDS activist and FOAF Ethan Zohn is planning to dribble una pelota 500 miles between Boston & Washington DC to raise money and awareness for Grassroots Soccer, an organization he co-founded to “harness the power of sport to engage young minds in essential life-skills and HIV/AIDS prevention education.” Ethan works tirelessly on this cause, because he believes deeply in the positive effect team sports can have on the well-being of a child. You can support his campaign by attending any of the hundreds of events along the way and donating online.

Asperger Test

Me: 18.  Average man.  Huh?  And does the fact that the range for men skews higher mean they’re more likely to have Asperger’s than women?

Also, when I first read the name of the Cambridge professor who’d developed the test, I figured the test had to be a joke.  Then I re-read it and realized his name is Simon Baron-Cohen, not Sasha.  Where’s the test for dyslexia?

mikehudack:

Me too!

spiegelman:

I scored at the level of the “average female scientist.” wtf.
