It is freaking INSANE how hard the Golf I runs the Supra and Porsche in the middle of this vid.

Despair, Inc

Neal sent me this one - and it is grade A. Just go look: Despair, Inc.

Greg Martin, Fireladders of Soho

I used to work with Greg a few years ago, and he recently got Gothamisted! He did a drawing of every fire escape in Soho, with a map showing the building location. The drawings themselves are simple and really nice. This kind of stuff really appeals to the cataloging side of my brain, and I like the fact that it is a historical record of sorts.

Interesting interview with Jeff Staple of Reed Space.

WARNING: WATCH OUT FOR LOUD BEATS, LITERALLY.

Cooking Mama!!

Hey hey, guess what comes out tomorrow!! Not sure why, but this game looks really fun - I hope it lives up to the expectations. Somehow the thought of 'iron chef' cooking battles with the wii actions seems like a good time.

(No?) Fun, Fun, Fun on the Autobahn

I've been to Germany a few times, and spent a month there last year working on an art project with Vera Lutter (She has a show up now at Gagosian, so go see it!). I understand the basis for the reasonings on an Autobahn speed limit - but I have to say as a certified car nut, that there is nothing better than driving on the Autobahn. The free-for-all-whatever-lane-at-whatever-speed meanderings of the drivers on the NJ Turnpike are gone...and replaced with a finely tuned set of "rules of the road". Above all, stay out of the left lane, and if you dare venture into it, watch out for the Mercedes/Audi/BMW/Porsche closing at 140+ Miles per hour. I managed 155mph flat out in a rented C-Class on the first trip, and barely 70mph in the Ford Ka work car last time (A little scary at times, that thing was a dogg). Even at normal speeds the German highways work so well they should be preserved as they are, and as most unique things are, cherished. A modern wonder of the world, if you will.

Daylight Robbery II

Super low res, but cool videos of squirrels running obstacle courses.

BuzzFeed

I just found BuzzFeed, so I'm not sure if it is ultimately cheezy, but for now it is interesting. Kottke is also on the staff, so it can't be all bad.

I was reading about "Passover Coke", which is similar to "Hencho in Mexico Coke" (which I can personally vouch for).

BibliOdyssey


Really interesting stuff at BibliOdyssey, even though I just looked at the first bit of it. Old prints and manuscripts are where it's at!

Staple Pigeon New Era

I ran into this beauty of a hat at Reed Space today and had to pick it up. I was eyeing New Eras at their store yesterday, but I'm seriously glad I held back. Even though the logo is based on the infamous 'Pigeon' Dunk (which somehow makes it a little annoying) that caused 'riots' when it came out a while back, I love the big ass Rock Dove on the front. Another bonus is the fact that I hadn't seen this hat before, it seemed like they had just got it in - and none of the usual suspects had posted about it.

I guess I'm turning into a serious bird nerd too, and even though people love to hate on the pigeon, they are amazing creatures when you know a bit about them. So I'm ditching the Oriole Bird for the humble Pigeon, at least for a while.

Zelda music of golden proportions

This is pretty interesting, I know what music I like but I really have no idea of the 'technical' side of things. The Tanooki breaks it down with the always good Zelda.

For whatever reason, these quizzes are irresistable to me. It's like a nice shiny piece of metal~!

New PBMW magazine



I have a nice feature in the April 2007 issue of Performance BMW magazine - I used to shoot quite a bit for them, and I'm happy to get a feature back in there. They always do a really nice job with the printing, and they ran a centerfold of this image. It should be on news stands soon.

Gregory L. Blackstock

I picked up this book on artist Gregory L. Blackstock randomly at St. Marks Books while waiting to meet up with Tony and Yuko. The cover grabbed me because it is a bunch of crows - I've been really into birds lately, and crows are ace. He is a pretty amazing artist savant that does drawings of various 'lists' of objects. The drawings are simple but completely effective, and I love the good natured way he works.
