Transportation
Wow, slow day. All I can give you is this. But hey, there are bikes in
the background.
If you’re more interested in long distance travel this Nat’l Geo
info-graphic is a nifty way to track 50 years of awesome trips. CG has it
right, go straight to the flickr version for close-ups.

Infrastructure
Is this for real? (Yes.) A plan to route electricity between the
grids. The electrical cable technology is very cool.

Art Architecture and What-Not
Reason number 307 that I think the Olympics have got to go.
Architecture that would be unbelievable in a modern space opera.
Cigarette papers used to come in little, fantastically ornamented
booklets. Explore art, science, and history.
Living up to my nickname. But where the heck would I wear these
lusciously over the top boots?
A little background for my obsession with street art and stenciling in
particular. Banksy is now too commercial for most people but his
classic moments were the source of hip illustration and advertising
for a while.
Another silly flash based, random plot generator. It seems that I may
finally make my millions by writing a fish out of water tale set in an
under water cave. Uh huh.

Videos
I’d never heard of the composer Vangelis. He wrote the Blade Runner
score. And it turns out the background for this steamy damn near
totally SFW scene from the Year of Living Dangerously.
More music. A weird upbeat song about being Already Dead. Pen and ink
paper cut outs with a clear nod to Edward Gorey. Can I say that a
video about being dead made me happy?
happy mid-week review
