And Scene)
Okay.
I’ll be going offline until Tuesday, and trust me, this will hurt me more than it will hurt you. I know.
So here is your last link post until then. Or until Fletch gets off his ass and does something. But he’s in school. So, you know.
A seriously brief brief of the Fibonacci Series. Did I mention that I’m also somewhat of a math geek?
I’m not sure if this is a new art, or just something interesting.
I like drinking. And I like homemade drinking. Perfect.
Do you want to know what’s going on in the world? Ask the CIA.
Typography geek alert: I love this font.
Totally awesome boat painting.
All right. That ought to tide you over for a couple of days.
Feel free to comment, or send us mail, or in any other myriad ways, act like you read this blog.
Love you.
I Want To Stop Saying This…
…but I know that this sort of shit isn’t going away:
[ahem]
Global warming does not mean that there will be no snow. Write that on your refrigerator, forehead, whatever. Just make sure you grab that one important point. Global warming does not equal picnics in January.
Blegh.

Cato Comes to Town
I just found this on Kansas.com–it was too long to tweet, so here you go.
Apparently some high-falutin’ urban planner from the Cato Institute came to the city and talked a little smack on the downtown development. Fine. There’s plenty that anybody could criticize about it. I’ve been know to rant about the things that piss me off about downtown (actually, it’s what happens in the sticks that kills downtown more than anything, IMO). This just seems like a dick thing to say, though:
He also said “pedestrian-friendly” development — a cornerstone of Wichita’s downtown effort, usually means car-hostile.
Really? That’s where we’re going with this? Because the corollary here is car-friendly/pedestrian-hostile, and I can tell you, having lived in a city like that all of my life, the other way around seems a lot more fun.
It’s only fair to say that I’m nitpicking slightly here. The article mentions some other statements that I might agree with, and, besides, it is an Eagle piece, e.g. informative to the minimum grade level. That said, I am always suspicious of a mindset that appears to give preference to things (cars) over people.
Fuck the Oscars.
I don’t really mean that. I’ll talk about the nominees soon. I love that stuff.
But this, THIS is epic. If you tend to read political blogs, you’ve probably seen it already, but man. Can’t let this one go by without making sure that you get a chance to watch it. This was made by California Republican Senate candidate (and former HP CEO) Carly Fiorina, attacking her primary challenger. Really, if it wasn’t real, I’d have a hard time believing that it was… um… real. Even now I have a hard time believing it. Watch it all. ALL.
More please. Really.
EDIT: Zack and I just posted the exact same thing at the exact same time. I’m leaving it up because of the synchronicity.
State of Play: Thursday Edition
Here’s pretty much where our civilization is at these days:
Awesome. It’s not enough to give me nightmares, but it’s close.
