Bach’s Crab Canon on a Möbius Strip—very cool video, especially if you’ve read Gödel Escher Bach.

David Breashears’ new Everest exhibit, Rivers of Ice:
For centuries, glaciers have inspired awe and wonder. The idea that human assault might ever triumph over such powerful features of our natural landscape seemed almost unimaginable. But now climate change is disrupting the ecological balance of the Tibetan Plateau and the mighty glaciers of the Himalaya are, in fact, disappearing.
I really wish I was in New York so I could check this out, but there are some great photographs on the website showing the comparisons between early in the 20th century and now. Frightening stuff.

← Taking Tasteless to a New Level
Basically some high-brow ultra-classy fashion folks decided that it would be cool to model their line after the small-scale genocide happening in Juarez.
I don’t know shit about women’s cosmetics, but this sounds pretty awful. If I had a proclivity for wearing rouge or something, I wouldn’t buy this shit!

Folio Editions are so damn cool looking. If I knew anything significant about Donne, I might have bought this just for my shelf. I guess I’ll be digging through Half Price looking for some other ones.
(Book is No Man Is An Island by John Donne.)

← Galifianakis Interviews Megan Fox
This interview actually makes me like Megan Fox more dislike Megan Fox less. She comes across as pretty down to earth.
Obviously though, who the fuck cares about Megan Fox; the reason to click this link is because Galifianakis is a pretty fantastic interviewer. I personally appreciate how he goes to no less than three establishments, looking for beer, while on the phone interview. Class act, Galifianafuck.

Why of course! I certainly shouldn’t take the direct fairy and 10 mile bus ride to Poulsbo. Much better to take the scenic 18 hour route.

(via) Mechanical engineering porn. This system is ridiculous.
Kind of reminds me of season 2 of The Wire when the stevedores are watching Amsterdam’s automated docks.

It’s called the American Dream… because you’d have to be asleep to believe it. George Carlin is the man.

to periphery.org, a weblog that I maintain. Every time a lightbulb goes off in my head, I try to post the solution here. I also tend to post interesting quotes, links, etc.
I also post code here. I try to maintain it in a Git repo, and every time I check in something new I'll write an entry here with some explanation and examples.
