Art show tonight at Volta, and I drank way too much coffee and tea. Figure I’ll be up for hours.
And it’s raining.

Things I'd Like To See #1
ckck:
Google Historic Maps.
It’d be just like Google Maps, only you could enter a year and see what the world looked like at that time. For example, you could go back to 1989 and see a map of East and West Germany, and the wall that divided Berlin. Perhaps see what Africa looked like when it was still mostly European colonies, or go back a hundred years and see the borders of Austria-Hungary,...

The list so far
This year I made a new year’s resolution I knew I’d never complete: read 52 books. I knew I’d never complete it because I’m a slow reader, have a family, job, and am trying to write a novel of my own. Still, I figured it would keep me reading, and it has:

So some guy calling himself “Hacker Croll” stole hundreds of confidential documents from the Twitter founders, and he sent copies to TechCrunch. That blog’s founder, Mike Arrington, says the documents include people who interviewed at Twitter, floorplans, and security passcodes.

I dreamed we electrified their civilization, ending a hundred thousand years of fire-worship. Their mythology photodegraded to nothing under the glare of our flashbulbs, our tungsten filaments licking at their exposed shadows. We offered them Catherine Zeta-Jones. No hard feelings.

I seriously doubt that most of you posting about him even knew who he was before today.
I find it hard to call semen on the Post art, I mean I see that shit everyday. And also, a tag on the wall of a bridge isn’t art, either. Not saying grafiti isn’t art, just a tag isn’t . When I pee at bars and write “PAYNE” on the wall like I usually do, it’s not art. And...
Back from the mountains and my tumblrarity hovers just above zero. I even waited a couple days to see if it would go ahead and finish the journey to nothing.

Voyageur, a storied guitar made from legends →
This is amazing stuff:
The book chronicles the creation of Voyageur, a remarkable guitar that was inspired by the near-separation of Canada as a result of a close referendum in Quebec. Taylor crisscrossed the country, collecting artefacts to build a guitar from, from the national (former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s canoe paddle) to the local (the handle from the oyster shucking knife...
