Snow and such
Not here, mind you! And I'm incredibly thankful for that. But there are a number of cool/pretty/funny things around the web related to this week's Snowpocalypse. And assorted other interesting things.
Wil Wheaton tweeted this with the caption "Today, we salute you, Mister I Made the Entire Outside World My Icebox Guy": pic
Twitpiccing the Blizzard - Roger Ebert collected a number of tweeted images, and that time-lapse video I've passed around in a couple folks' comment sections
Also via Roger, "Man in a Blizzard," by Jamie Stuart - Cooooool stuff. Tho I admit, I didn't have the patience afterward to watch all of "Man With a Movie Camera." Maybe you do.
... Roger posts lots of cool stuff :D Here's Dan and Dan: The Daily Mail Song, and two others.
NYC Subway Now Takes You Around The World - That's actually pretty cool... even though the constant, intrusive presence of advertising generally makes me grind my teeth, I kinda wish I could ride in one of those.
City of Holes: the Nottingham Caves Survey - I want to gooooooo theeeeeeeere... hee. When I was a kid, one of my most persistent daydreams (I had many) was of vast underground networks connecting everything around me in ways I'd be able to use if I only knew where the doors were. The last ep of Castle before the holiday break was especially awesome to me for this reason, too :)
Google Maps finds Batcave - *giggles* Not really-really, but sort of, yes, really.
A geeky Christmas strip from Foxtrot - *more giggling*
My kid's bad spelling is funnier than your kid's bad spelling - BWAH! Not my kid, for the record. Somebody else's kid.
... and now, if I may grumble for a moment, I was much pleased to learn of a new restaurant opening soon in my area, the Tilted Kilt. Until I further learned that the kilts in question are mini-kilts, on the all-female servers who will also be sporting bare midriffs and plaid push-up bras. Sigh. Why can't the draw be guys in kilts, for once? And the food doesn't even look that good, other than fish and chips and shepherd's pie, you are not fooling me with your "Irish" nachos and "Scottish" cheese steak.
Plus, I can't imagine they think this is an underserved market in my area: Tilted Kilt will be less than an exit down the road from a Hooters, and across the freeway from Twin Peaks and Redneck Heaven. No, I am not kidding.
Sigh.
