mj talking about why pigeons bob their heads while walking (on quirks and quarks)

when bus fare was 8 cents you knew it was going to be a good week when donny and marie switched roles. he became a little bit country and she became a little bit rock'n roll - and wore black leather.

SUCH a good show on stochasticity

the gmail spell checker was making me second-guess myself until i realized it was americanizing my english. i've changed the setting to uk english.

this clip is always amusing
i just noticed jian's screen says "if this really goes sideways, i have new neil, new metric standing by" - obviously a message from his producer.

Apparently I am still in the top 25 without the error. I estimate I did about 1000km on BIXI (pronounced bike-sie in English according to Kevin). This was all done in 8 min trips.

I just got the below email. There was an administrative error that said I had a bike out for 3 months - I asked them to verify that I am still in the running when discounting this mistake. If so - since I am a HUGE fan of BIXI - I think I'll do it...

glad i'm not alone in my feelings about 300

Jingoist Frank Miller should listen to this episode of This American Life.
300 pissed me off.

one of my favourite concerts this year
