Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Denver B-Cycle Ready to Roll – This is very cool — and something I should make a note of as an alternative in some rare cases to trying to figure out how to make the LTR and 16th Street Mall bus work for me.
- Being Human: The BBC’s Ghost-Vampire-Werewolf Comedy/Drama is Coming to DVD and Blu-ray this Summer – I’m still slowly plowing my way through it a bit at at time on the DVR. Good stuff, but it takes some attention.
- Queue-less Disney Parks – This has a lot of possibilities, and can be combined with the immerssive queue design (as at the lovely Indy attraction in Anaheim); I’d be willing just to patiently wander at leisure through that, waiting my turn …
- Gargoyles, fonts, and anachronism, oh my! – This is wonderful, and funny. And, yeah, just finished “Changeless” (a marvelous pun) the other day, and looking forward very much, thank you, to “Blameless,” which, I suspect, will be at least a double-entendre (and a good book).
- Print is Eternal – I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said:—Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away. - The Secret of L.A.’s 10-Year-Old Fake Freeway Sign – Traffic – Jalopnik – I remember when this sign was first installed, and noting what a good idea it was. That particular stretch of the 110 — from the 10 in the south to the 5 in the north, with the 101 crossing somewhere in the middle, and the whole conglomeration twisting around downtown LA — is just insane. If it were a Sim city setup, you’d bulldoze all of it and rebuild.
