A Tale of Two Rivers: New Film Documents Journeys in Iran and Patagonia

And as far as I can recall, I’ve seen Tom Allen in Los Angeles, London, and Portland. The guy gets around!He's also a prolific filmmaker. Tom is returning this year with another big documentary project, this one produced with a partner with whom he undertook major expeditions through Iran and Patagonia—two places that are different in many ways. With only 5 days to go, here's the trailer for the Kickstarter project to fully produce two feature-length films:

WestJet’s Introduces #SmartSeats (April Fool’s Joke)

I'm generally not a huge fan of April Fool's day. It's too much not-so-funny all at once.

That being said, you can always count on WestJet, the Canadian low cost carrier, to come up with a great concept for the day. This year they're announcing #SmartSeats, their new concept in boarding flights. Here's how it's described:

"After years of research and testing, we are excited to announce SmartSeats, a new concept in boarding flights. SmartSeats are guaranteed to change the way people fly. How? Your SmartSeats in the boarding lounge will also be your seats on the plane. Just sit back, relax and let SmartSeats do the work."
