→ Congrats to Celine and Eyal for their contributions to the book Did Someone Say Participate?.

→ Woah. All of Stuyvesant Town is for Sale. That is one heck of a blinking neon sign for continued rising rents.

→ I cancelled my Dwell subscription last year because the magazine had seemed to lose touch with the whole exciting idea of real places, real people, with messes, kids, and homes that felt lived in. It turned into a Better Homes & Gardens for mid-level design. . . Sounds like I was not alone in my feelings: Founding Editor Arieff Walks in Protest

→ Little Phil was born last night at 4:45AM; he was 7 pounds, 6 ounces. And he's hairy. Everyone is in good health.

→ Please head on over and check out Lori's book, Signs of Life, a collection of striking hand-written signs that appeared in the aftermath of Katrina. I ordered a copy.

→ Air travellers cannot take water, juice, shampoo, or other liquids . . . but they can take up to 4 oz. of KY jelly.

→ Zimbra looks like a very interesting collaboration server with support for IMAP, iSync, iCal, GAL, and (apparently) "Over-the-Air Sync" for wireless devices. I think I'll test out some of the hosted options, such as Sonoma Creative, Milwaukee Microbusiness, and Smedia.

→ Now that is one wacky eBay auction. It is for just one Transformer missile from an Optimus Prime figure. Just the one inch long, little missile. Huh.

→ This quick little article on five ways to eliminate worry is a succint reminder of simple and small things to do to manage stress and pressure.

→ Wonderfully odd. There is an awkward, playful, curious sexiness to this on the sounds of clothes. I can't decide which is my favorite; maybe the PVC pants.

[2006/08/03]

→ Huh, a cover (I like covers/remixes/mashups) of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Using smashed up appliances as drums. Somehow it just sounds so damn right. Especially the coffin freezer as base drum.

→ Not sure how playable the game actually is, but The Shivah is a video game about a Rabbi in New York: "Features rabbinical conversation methods, a unique method of fighting, an original score, and three different endings!"

→ This page will be different by the time you check it, but highs today of 102, which they say will feel like 117. And they say at sunset it'll come down all the way down to the chilly 91 (feels like 100). Ah. . . Er? | comment 0
