SUBWAY

BEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL F*%#ING YEAR: (Gotta watch the language around the little ones.) Click this, and scroll down some: My dad, making stuff for his incubating grandson. Check out the Gary, with the extended midsection! Man. The story goes, my dad used made me my first toys "on the job" at Great Lakes Steel in Detroit. Completely on the clock, in their wood shop. Cool tanks and a barge and other stuff I could drool on. Soft edges, natural wood. My dad. For me. I get kinda choked up writing this, and ain't afraid to broadcast that. I remember dad telling me something about "how things were kinda tight when you were born" and he made the toys to save some loot. I saw them when I was home the last time, as he's using them as reference for The Grandson. My dad. - - - - THIS ONE IS BLOWING MY MIND: Here's a cat who's scanning in his Field Notes, and then this software deal called "Evernote" indexes the text, makes it searchable and in the machine. Incredible. What a world. Thank you for using Field Notes, Mr. Dawes. Much appreciated! - - - - DAYWRECKER WARNING: Alert! Streger's got some chops, finding this one. This guy knows how to ferret out some pretty wild links. Go undergound with this one: NYC Subway Historical Maps. From long ago: 1939 System Route Map. From a year before I was born: 1972, New Yorkers! This one is for all my buddies, both flesh and digital, in the city: Cam, Damien, Cooley Bros., McMenamin, Cousin Tom, Lopez, Eric Baker, Paul Safsel, Hush, Billy Fowks, Pieratt, ACL and hell, while we're at it NYC-wise, al...

I got the full run down from Lovejoy last night. The whole story from my buddy. Catching up on the last couple months of shit. He's a peculiar little fuckerface, and to illustrate this, let me show you his latest purchase for his humble abode: "A cobra locked in mortal combat with a mongoose." How about that shit? He said it smells exotic, whatever that means. Like weird spices, or something. Interesting. Come by the shop soon, Lovejoy. I miss ya. Oh yeah, that amazing squirrel you are seeing up above, well, Lovejoy found it. Great score. - - - - THIS ONE JUST MAKES ME WANT TO LOAD UP THE VAN AND GO: All the state tourism logos in one spot. Hell yes. (Plucked off the Coudal Daily Signals digital feed.) - - - - AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE: "The gallery of air fresheners in junker cars." - - - - ANOTHER COOL ONE FROM COUSIN SCOTT: A subway map of our human body. - - - - THE KIND OF STUFF DALE SENDS ME: A new Liars video. Interesting stuff. Good song, too. Watch it all the way through. Just like Dale said. I'm kinda blown away by this one. Pretty interesting thinking going on there. Bravo, you Liars. - - - - ON THE PLAYER: 01. Düngen - Ta Det Lugnt 02. Waylon Jennings - Dreaming My Dreams 03. Sonic Youth - Dirty...

Ashley Costa brings a new collection of striking stencil panels to The Nest Lounge. These panels range from tongue-in-cheek political satire to more jabbing yet playful prods at the Establishment and The Man. Ashley has spent most of her time perfecting the stencil-spray method in her bedroom, which she explains, "looks like an underground NYC subway graff wall." Come on by the Nest, grab a beer, and check out this fresh new collection!

A man armed with a knife robbed two Subway sandwich stores Monday.

Done with an exhausting day. Went to an MSII lecture this morning 8-10, then finaid and tour, lunch, student interview before a long 1.5 hr wait for my faculty interview. Took the shuttle from USC to the subway and up to Pasadena to meet Ted and then out to Bar Marmont (Chauteau Marmont) for a LA dinner with friends. I'm pooped!

Interviews went well I think, there are always things I can improve on, but both were very casual and conversational. I liked the facilities and support it looks like the school gives students, as well as the clinical exposure through the county hospital. Now, I wait 4-6 weeks for a decision :)

Thanks for everyone's well wishes, I appreciate all your support!

Geocaching was invented by Dave Ulmer, early bizmo engineer and pioneer. His on-board GIS systems led him to many a frontier find.

However, in thinking of physically strenuous mathematical exercises, a genre, we need to accommodate lots of urban teens, may not simply assume easy access to rural areas with the wave of a magic wand.

Introducing bus and subway maps from around the world as topologically correct, yet highly simplified (schematic) is a standard data visualization segment. The next step, of actually riding the bus and train systems, in search of some treasure, is where this becomes a sport.

Student-friendly urban establishments such as coffee shops, subsidized to operate this program, might provide welcoming environments.

The video game aspects of the course would have this familiar indoor ambiance (already associated with scholarship), as students swiped their ID cards for points, went through the cartography and geography quizzes, touched base with on-line referees and/or judges, perhaps sitting in booths with branded swag (sponsor regalia).

In the last several months (and two very recently) I've seen three really good examples people using Google Earth to explore new transportation ideas.  My favorite, both for its emphasis on transportation demand management strategies and because of its aesthetics, is Nick Falbo's exploration of Columbia River Crossing alternatives.
