Friday Detritus

Starting your weekend off with some items of Awesome and Not-So-Much:

  • Awesome: Krista’s blog, Margaritas On Friday. If you know Krista, it’s exactly what you’d expect. I highly recommend reading the first post.
  • Not-So-Much: Dawgs collapse, finish great season one win short.
  • Awesome: I finally got a new phone: The Nokia 5310 (in Bulldog Black and Red, natch). No longer do I have to worry about my camera taking pictures of the insides of my pants! Huzzah!
  • Not-So-Much: Scratching your head all the way down to your brain.
  • Awesome: If the weather holds, looks like two rounds of golf this weekend. Double-huzzah!
  • Not-So-Much: The aftertaste that comes from drinking ginger ale after brushing your teeth.
  • Awesome: Bloons, and all of its offspring.
  • Awesome and/or Not-So-Much: I just realized that as of one month ago, I’m officially closer to retirement age than my birth.

Update: I just couldn’t let the weekend arrive without dropping one more bit of Awesome.

Robocop, Wilt Thou Ne’er Be Cranked Again?

Josh at Martians Attacking Indianapolis has broken THE big story of this football offseason, via a source who requested she (or maybe he, maybe. You don’t know.) remain anonymous.

While recent injuries and our brutal schedule leave much uncertainty for this season, one thing is for certain…

We won’t be seeing any of this next year:

I’m A Sucker For Something: The Big Reveal

As the three regular readers of this blog know, I recently ordered two, count ‘em, two Somethings from Somethingstore.com a couple of weeks ago. Well, ladies and gents, my package arrived today…

Hail, Naw

Today’s storm brought with it some nastiness and (sweet!) I lost power for two hours. Hopefully these eggs I just ate won’t kill me.


My Radiohead Dream Setlist

As mentioned prior, I, along with Maya, Kevin, and Mike, will be going to see Radiohead this Thursday night at Lakewood Amphitheatre.

I tried my best to refrain from seeking out the setlist from the first show of the U.S. leg of the tour which was last night in W. Palm Beach, but that lasted all of no time at all. Not surprisingly (and I don’t think this would be a spoiler), a large majority of the setlist was from “In Rainbows”. Which is great and all - but I was thinking: If I could do my dream setlist for the band (and actually restrict it and not just say, “Play every song from every album”), what would it be? I decided to pick 23 songs as that’s how many they played last night (!!) in West Palm. Anyone care to chime in? Additions? Subtractions?

The Greatest Workplace Safety Training Video Of All Time And Don’t Even Try To Argue With Me That’s It’s Not Because You’re Wrong and That’s Final.

Without further ado, then, I present to you, dear readers, “Forklift Driver Klaus” (German with English subtitles - may not be appropriate for those who are easily squeamish)…

OK, yes, it’s not real. Whatever. “Gabelstapler” is a great word.

Trapped

The New Yorker presents a condensed security camera video of Nicholas White, who spent 41 (!) hours trapped in a New York City elevator.

Of course, I would have John McClane’d outta there way before 41 hours.

The article the video accompanies, Up And Then Down by Nick Paumgarten, is a fascinating read… (seriously!)

The elevator, underrated and overlooked, is to the city what paper is to reading and gunpowder is to war. Without the elevator, there would be no verticality, no density, and, without these, none of the urban advantages of energy efficiency, economic productivity, and cultural ferment. The population of the earth would ooze out over its surface, like an oil slick, and we would spend even more time stuck in traffic or on trains, traversing a vast carapace of concrete. And the elevator is energy-efficient—the counterweight does a great deal of the work, and the new systems these days regenerate electricity. The elevator is a hybrid, by design.
