various
- The local bad boy of illustration and strategically deployed facial hair, Mark Haven Britt, has a new website which I did the technical side of.
- Yet another person I don’t know why I didn’t know about: Miranda July has a scrumptious website; see also her project Learning to Love You More. (This makes me wonder what Kerthy Fix is doing these days.)
- Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York is a funny, sad, pissed-off journal of dumb things happening to a great place, as they often do—mixed with beautiful writing about well-loved things that are still there. (Good grief, I didn’t know they’re actually calling the meatpacking district “MePa” now.)
- Franklin Einspruch paints The Moon Fell On Me, sort of comics haiku.
- Were the basic characteristics of Newtonian physics determined by the way that Indo-European languages treat space and time? Sadly for us fantasy-minded romantics, they weren’t at all, but the evidence is nifty.
- I kinda like the Grateful Dead, but creatively insulting the Grateful Dead is good too.
- Provocative digressions for the morbid are at The Chaos of Death.
- If you find yourself running for higher office, here’s how to renounce Farrakhan.
