Watching my crafty aunt discover etsy for the first time. Dare I tell her about Kith Kin’s Kredit Krunch? Not being able to fly over might break her heart. Some things are best left unknown.

Wait, let me get this straight. A design firm (in this case advertising) opens a cafe in front? Where have I heard this before? ! ! ! I believe bikesnob would agree when I say: AYHSMB?

What about a zombie movie
where you wake up one day and don’t know you’re a zombie? Not like a vampire movie, where you know. But like, you’re walking down the street normally, and get mad at the person taking forever at the ATM and just bite into their arm or something. See, with vampires you can tell who is or isn’t one, because they’re only supposed to be out at night/with sun glasses....

If the collapse of two companies
can send an entire nation’s economy into depression, maybe you’ve got bigger problems. Does anyone have any bumper sticker that says “Fuck Detroit” or something? I mean really. They want this money so badly they’re telling congress that if they fail, it will cause a depression. If they suck this much, shouldn’t we all be complaining about them as much as...

I’ve been trying to communicate these things to some. I had no idea there was a manifesto. While this is cool, I’m a little bummed I didn’t know I was living by a manifesto. I’ve always wanted to try one. So to find out that I was doing it accidentally sort of takes it away from me. I’ll keep living with some of these ideas, but I’m still in search of a...

Wouldn’t it be nice if movie watchers had the ability to mix audio? Imagine your hearing wasn’t so good, and you wanted to boost the dialog without boosting the background noise or the music score. Or imagine you’re having a party and you wouldn’t mind the score being played along with a movie, but the dialog would be distracting. Or better yet, you wanted just the sound...

Manifesto of True Architectural Sustainability
Found these. In no particular order (except the first one):
1) Build Within Natural Loops/Cycles (See: Laws of Thermodynamics/Energetics) This Includes Processes, Products Which Lead Up To The End Result
2) Build Down Not Up
3) Paint It White, or Don’t Paint It At All
4) We’re All Approximately The Same Size; Don’t Use More Than Is Required
5) Know & Pay The Real Cost

My god, we’ve got RSS feed of a transition team! It’s as though they’re doing it all right. I’m both happy and stunned… a bit confused. We’re so used to talking about politics as being slow, behind, sometimes backwards. I’m not kidding, I actually feel uncomfortable right now. As though this isn’t right, this isn’t how it’s supposed...
