This post marks number 7,000 in the history of The Turner Report since its beginning in October 2003. Thanks to those of you who have encouraged me to continue with the blog. Since those early days when I was lucky to have five readers a day, the blog has now reached the point where it has occasionally topped 1,000 unique readers during a 24-hour period (reaching 1,400 on three occasions according...

I'd say this is a fairly gloomy picture of Ontario's economy.One wonders how thousands of people whose jobs depend on affordable petroleum products (read: the auto industry) will want to embrace a policy that will have a negative impact on, you know, getting jobs.In 1974 it was Trudeau running around saying "Zap! You're Frozen!" Perhaps it's time for Harper and his ilk to start shouting "Whack! You're...

Today’s Friday Favorite may seem a bit off the beaten path from my more recent artist features and yet it hearkens to one of my great loves, the comic book. In the mid to late 90’s when I was introduced to the world of ‘funny books for adults’ it wasn’t long before the work [...]

Filed under: Industry , Programming , Reality-Free Of course, every week is a great week to watch Turner Classic Movies . If you're not a regular viewer of TCM, you're really missing out. But looking over their schedule for tomorrow, I noticed several movies are playing that you really must see, especially if you haven't seen them before. In fact, two of the movies are ones I haven't seen before myself,...

I first spotted this pic over at C+D , and I'm not feeling this jumpsuit look on you at all Ms. Tina . Let your stylist know next time, that she needs to stick to what works. Tina Turner and Giorgio Armani attended a ceremony for honorees of France's Legion D'Honneur award on July 3 in Paris, France.

I saw this, believe it or not, as it was happening. You can see from this picture that Mahorn clearly did push her (looks like he pushed her with his left hand and knocked her on her ass). It was not a slip. If you watch the original footage, Leslie has both feet clearly planted in the ground and the soles of her shoes are flat on the floor. He didn't catch her when she was off balance. He pushed her...

You can expect some shattering revelations about my personal life in this blog, but after today I will never write about being a judge for this year's Turner prize

Previously on WMD, we reported the fact that Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH-03) had voted with Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Pluto) on the idea of impeaching the President of the United States, George W. Bush. As I suspected, but was unable to confirm at the time (due, in part, to bad tradecraft on my end), Rep. Turner's vote was part of a strategery to kill the articles of impeachment in committee. Subsequent...

The huge J. M. W. Turner retrospective at the Met is no relaxing summer show. Hot and bothersome, it is a barrage of guileful effects, surveying the artist’s lifelong campaign to surprise and impress--when not shocking and awing--British sensibility. Indisputably masterful, Turner invested little watercolors of quotidian subjects . . .

I have held off writing on this for a few days because I wanted to verify whether or not Rep. Turner really is for impeachment or not. His campaign doesn't seem to know and the email I sent in to a staffer contact was not returned. I don't know if my mayor is serious or not about impeaching the president under Crazy Kucinich's plan; but judging by the silence, I'm going to have to say that he is....

I am really proud to announce that Space Goat Fine Arts is raising money for the American Cancer Society to be donated in the late artist Michael Turner's name. The artists and staff at Space Goat were so affected by Turner's passing, and want to help in his name, so here I am to tell you about it! My hubby and I donated three issues of Superman/Batman that were signed by Turner to the cause. Artists...

I don't think there is a hotter topic in the measurement world than measuring mobile. Eric certainly called this in last year’s X Change keynote! It seems like every company I talk to is deeply interested in exploring mobile – and trying to figure out how to bring measurement along. What’s already become clear is that Mobile measurement is a potential minefield of problems – with enormous complexities...
