You may recognize some of the buildings in Spider-Man 3, from Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. Governor Strickland and the Ohio Senate recently vetoed a brilliant tax credit for filming in Ohio. This is potentially big business for Cleveland. Advertisers and movie studios love to film here because costs are lower with no shortage of amenities. I wrote about my experience in the industry while asking the Governor to reconsider this policy. You too can write Strickland. Video of our policy-makers is supposed to be available here, but it’s the most useless site ever.

While looking up the origin of the song “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” by GNR, I clicked to read words from the founder of Wikipedia. While asking for money, he explains his mission, which is really awesome:

“Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s our commitment.”

Apparently, in the studio, the song was written in just a few minutes. Slash has been criticized for the finger-tapping intro he wrote. Alas, there is no finger-tapping in the music video.
