the last norloser to leave town

Short version: The Browns are moving to Columbus, Ohio in April.

Long version: E was accepted at Ohio State med school. We put our house on the market last week and it sold almost immediately. Well, there’s a signed contract at least - we still have to do inspections and stuff, so things are not 100% final yet, but very close. The new owners need to move before the end of April, so… so are we. We’re making plans for a family move to Columbus. It’s going to be a very interesting several weeks between now and then. Wish us luck!

Google Bike Maps

Google Maps has now added bicycle directions. Right now it’s OK, but not perfect. On my commute it sends you down Fulton in Brooklyn. I only know one person who uses Fulton with it’s two-way traffic and busses. Most cut towards the bridge on Dekalb, Myrtle or Flushing.

Manhattan is closer to my actual route, but it uses Broome between Chrystie and the Bowery (cobblestones!) and sticks too long on Park Avenue South (potholes and bad pavement!)

Everyone else has a music video to post, so now it’s my turn.

The wooden facial expressions!
The high-power dance moves!
The “this is my impression of a human laughing”… thing.

Forgettable? No. Regrettable? Yes.

Triple-double!

The snowicane has given New York City its first triple-double ever! we’ve now had three snowstroms that resulted in more than 10 inches of snow…

Snowpocalypse II: the Snowicane

New York prepares for the “Snowicane”

A couple of weeks ago, when we got the last major snowstorm, I woke up, looked out my window, saw a couple inches of snow, and thought, “damn…have to go to work.” It wasn’t until I got to work that I learned from the security guard that the library was closed.

'Cause I Really Wanna Know

Who are you? I’d never heard of you, nobody in Europe had ever heard of you,”

-Nigel Farage, MEP

Centuries from now, when the computers write history, will they refer to President Herman Van Rompuy as the first Wholey Euroman Emperor?

Sea Chicken!

The mothership

George Clinton interview in The Onion. A pretty good read.

"Cheesy" Kale Chips

While I don’t really consider dehydrated food to be “raw,” New York Naturals “Raw Vegan Cheese Kale Chips” are unbelievably amazing. I ate an entire box in one sitting last night.

(drool)

I saw this commercial during the KU-ISU game. Why did it take so long to develop a toy helicopter that actually shoots missiles?

Astray³

I don’t know if y’all are web comic fans (I don’t know if I am, either). Lurking in the web’s obscure art depths, I ran across this:

Astray3

It’s really well drawn and written, which is a rare combination for self-published work. Learn more about the process here.

BCS Demon Sheep!

here’s the latest video that flick was going to post:

all of the crazy sheep video, none of the republican crazy talk!

Liz Phair covers NASCAR...

…in The Atlantic.

Demon Sheep!

if you just want the demon sheep money shot without listening to too much Republican crazy talk just jump to the 2:00 minute mark of the video.
