“I mean that Los Angeles is the confrontation with the void. It is the void.” beautiful and lyrical, but what he captures is the thing that always gave me the heebie-jeebies about LA, even when I was a kid. So much am I not ever moving back.

I have been procrastinating on getting a biteguard, which I need to deal with a steadily worsening case of TMJ, partially because even w/insurance it’s going to be a serious chunk of change.

oddly pretty. gorgeous music. strangely comforting, if a little eerie.

This is what we’ve got. I had a little too much fun writing this, which is why it’s too long. But the important stuff is at the top. And I LOVE Nikki McClure’s poster.(tags: creditunion)

“If we give the Pentagon a giant space laser, why do we have to send troops at all?” “because we haven’t found any giant space sharks yet…” heh. a little wigged abt military running something like this.

I can’t stop being angry about this stuff. (I was very lucky. My sojourn in that status only lasted a year and a half.) Nice twist in this article: tips for the uninsured in NYC.

OMG. Have wanted to go for ages, and we were just talking about this the other day. Definitely want to go soon.

we’ve been talking about doing something like this for…oh…years.

additional silliness from Kermit. good for a giggle.

Neat! My wish list: an address entry box, which I don’t know if that’s any good outside the US, but sure would make it faster to use. (Oh, hey, he just changed the starting point from UK to North America & Europe all at once.)

“Only WinZip 10 or 11, however, can extract files from the resulting archive” — meager. ran into this at work.

“In the past year, we at smashLAB have examined the experience we afford our clients.” — a candid examination of how designers can be better to/with their clients. Definitely something to learn from.

This looks very cool, but I don’t have all the right bits at work to make it go, alas. Might try later on my own site.
