“But what bothers me the most is what my firing represented. See, I’ve been learning all the tricks that a modern multi-platform journalist is supposed to know. In the past 22 months, I’ve blogged, tweeted, shot photos and videos, and handled speaking engagements. I edited my section, managed my high-personality staff and then in my spare time, I wrote cover stories – something that very few other editors at USA TODAY do. I hustled and I cajoled and I ended up out on my ass anyway.”

I would totally buy the honda ev-n if it goes into production. Looks like the Honda 360 and the Mini, I love the aesthetic.

I could get down with it. I’d have to do a detailed side-by-side comparison with a Smart car.

“Ambling Alp” by Yeasayer. My new favorite song for the week. Perhaps even for December. Discovered at The Current’s Song of the Day podcast.

Poolga + Bright Magazine - Pack #1

poolga:

We’re doing a collaboration with Bright Magazine from the Netherlands in which every month one Poolga artist creates a series of wallpapers for both iPhone and Android devices.

We just launched the first one, featuring Laszlito Kovacs. He created a series inspired in gadgets from the (retro)future that allow jetpack flying, teletransportation and, of course, invisibility. They are gorgeous, we just hope they worked for real!. Go get them here:

I’m currently rotating these as my iPhone wallpapers.

Doug: Kate, I’m sorry, my timing, I know it stinks. But, I just keep thinking this thing with us its gonna go away. I keep thinking that if I just keep moving and checking I’ll get clear. But, do you understand what im tellin you?

Kate: I don’t wanna fight anymore.

Doug: No, I mean, yea, I don’t wanna fight anymore.

Kate: Look, we have to skate.

Doug: Just wait, Kate, maybe I wasnt ready. Maybe you didn’t give me much of a chance. Maybe, I don’t know, I just, I just… Kate, somewhere in the middle of all this I fell in love with you. I’m saying I love you. I’m saying it out loud. Don’t say we’re not right for each other because the way I see it, we might not be right for any body else. It can’t be any harder to stay together than it was to stay apart. Kate, I need you. I need you.

The Cutting Edge, 1992

This is so weird. Missy and I were just talking about this movie the other day. We were wondering what the hell happened to Moira Kelly.

Over half of all Michigan’s public university graduates leave the state within one year of graduation.

Okay, I get Illinois. There are a bajillion Michigan expats in Chicago. I get California. I get New York. I can even understand Ohio. But Texas? Wisconsin? Hrm. Okay. I wonder how many of these are people returning to their home states?
