I don’t watch Law and Order…

…but this made me laugh.

Stealth Armor! Hah!

It’s part of NOWhere Limited’s ‘nonpariel’ sculpture show that opens this weekend.

Dustin Nyugen loves some Marvel superheroes.

I can identify with that.

You can find a bigger version at his blog.

Altru’s Vintage Olympic tees. Some nice ones.

Altru has a lot of the generic ‘weathered logo’ tees, but these vintage Olympic Logo tees are pretty sharp (if wildly over priced at $34). I especially like the 1964 Tokyo and the 1980 Moscow.

And this cycle group tee is cool, too.

On the other hand, i could go my whole life without seeing those ‘84 Los Angeles designs again. I hated them as a kid and I hate them today.

‘Mystery On Fifth Avenue’

This awesome story in the NYT about an architect who built a mystery into his renovation of an NYC apartment. It’s a longish read (and it’s a Kottke link so you’ve probably already read it) but it’s just too damn neat not to share.

THINGS are not as they seem in the 14th-floor apartment on upper Fifth Avenue…They are living in a typical habitat for the sort of New Yorkers they appear to be: an enormous ’20s-era co-op with Central Park views…But some of that furniture and some of those walls conceal secrets — messages, games and treasures — that make up a Rube Goldberg maze of systems and contraptions conceived by a young architectural designer named Eric Clough, whose ideas about space and domestic living derive more from Buckminster Fuller than Peter Marino.

Earth and Moon, from Mars.

I do love these photos from outer space. NASA is ruling schools these days. Details on the photo here.

The knife, I am on my way under it.

Just an fyi, I’m having some screws put into my 3rd metacarpal to help a break heal.

Typing one-handed stinks but it’s where I will be for a while.

**5/14 update**
All went well yesterday. It was a longer-than-expected fracture so it took 4 screws to hold in place. It hurts like hell but at least I’m finally on the road to recovery. Thanks for the well-wishes.

Good ubuntu read

I am in the fits-and-starts stages of installing ubuntu Linux on our old Dell laptop. There are some video settings I need to tinker with and I then I will have to work through getting the correct wireless settings (read: headaches), but overall I am excited at the low-end geekiness of this project.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about Linux, specifically Ubuntu, and came across a good “layman’s take” on the newest Ubuntu release, version 8.04 (the Hardy Heron). I kinda love how the releases have names as well as version numbers.

In “The Great Ubuntu-Girlfriend Experiment” the guy installs Hardy Heron on a computer and asks his girlfriend to perform a series of tasks without any of his help. It’s a good read.

River City Rapids guy got a job…

…working for the city.

Great news for him. Here’s to hoping he can affect some of the change he wants to see.
