Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1969 |
- Craft pr0n: violin making.
- Calculate your sleep. To get up at 5:00 a.m. go to sleep at 9:15 p.m.
- Truly gag inducing. "Folk was one of the key drivers of a broad cultural shift that saw us re-embrace our pastoral past." This comes from an article about how progressive rock might be the new folk. If anything's more self-indulgent and narcissistic than prog it's folk. (This from someone who's a prog fan.) No one likes an unwashed folk hipster recycling Joan Baez on acoustic guitar. No one.
- GIFs, animated GIFs. Artistic. Lots of them.
- Space shuttle tagged.
- Something else to debate: the 10 best sentences of literature.
- I've tried to convince my friends of this. World War Z the book (not very good) has virtually nothing in common with the movie.
- Graph the IMDB rating of your favorite TV show.
- Cartoons and beer.
- Klingon and beer.
- Antique whiskey bottle hall of fame.
- Shhh. The luxurification of silence.
- You've got ring around the asteroid.
- Always. Be. Knolling.
- Cosmos on TV. Historians are dubious of its effect. (I enjoy watching it.)
- Sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Umami?
- I haven't seen Prometheus, the Alien prequel, and they're already talking about Prometheus 2.
- 2048 is the best web-based game I've seen in a long time.
- Explore Patatap.

Loved the violin video. I can't get enough of videos of how craftsmen make musical instruments but this one was exceptional.
I'm going to read the folk prog piece later.
I remember quite a few of the beer ads. I loved them as a kid.
I rode on the quiet car from NYC to Philly a few years ago. Wonderful things.
I leave this link with some reluctance. From today's Wall Street Journal, an article on toilets and defecation in India:

Liked the Jung quote, btw.
Fortunately, the WSJ article required a password. I can only imagine the contents. And I have a pretty good imagination, esp. when it comes to poop.
As for the Jung quote, sometimes I get in these moods.
