This video is pretty awesome at 2 in the morning (the song is hot too)

Alex LoDico Ensemble–a regular on my commute. I actually bought their CD

These guys still play in the Times Square subway station, and they're kind of awesome

Great find (via Matt Haughey): Carter, in 1979, talking about America's need to wean itself off oil dependence. As Matt noted, what if we had listened then? Is there any chance we'll listen now? Can Obama make us?

I [heart] clever people

Nerdy from the womb! Results here: http://twitter.com/kickbee (via waxy, of course)

Did you know December is Clementine season? The flavor peaks late in the year, which is why Clementines make their biggest splash late in the fall. I've been eating two a day this week

I need to do this… for every single application I use in Windows

I may need this tool soon (oy!)

Rod Blagojevich in February: "I got elected to do things for people–not for other politicians–so that's OK." Apparently "do things for people" was a loaded term

Fond farewell to Josey's blog

A bit of bizarre genius: a website that aggregates every Twitter post referencing breasts tits

Not only does this article make a good point, but I also had those speakers

Just did this fix on my PB (the last entry about renaming localhost did the trick)

Timely Demise gets referenced by the Wall Street Journal. How about that

Bring back my HD music! What will I do to replace London Live?

Timely Demise is amateur *and* part-time! Also exciting and interesting and a must-read

"The Internet is the greatest generation gap since rock and roll." Yes and no. People who have grown up knowing the Internet certainly view it differently than the generations previous. But the uptake has been far more progressive than, say, getting Grandpa to like Led Zeppelin. The Internet is certainly the greatest *cultural shift* since rock and roll, and that creates interesting conversations and complications between those who live online and those who simply peer in.

Rafe's post could have been written by me. "I’ve been online in some fashion for over two decades, and I’m a fairly private person to start with, so I am very careful about not saying things that are going to turn up later." Indeed

No more I Want Sandy! Too bad, it was a fun tool (also, congrats to Rael)

Part of me thinks, ooh! Buy Berkshire Hathaway in the downturn! But then I think, is ANY stock safe these days? Also interesting: BRK has not particularly outperformed the stock market since the end of the dotcom bubble, although I suspect that has a lot to do with the speculative nature of the market and not the underperformance of BRK's holdings

Fun list from waxy (of course). Rush remains my favorite

"My ’76 Honda Civic CVCC was peppy even at highway speeds, often got over 50mpg, and met all emissions standards for the time without a catalytic converter." Whenever I read about fuel economy I keep thinking about the exact same thing. Honda had a Civic HF in the 1980s that got 47 mpg city. Why can't the automakers dumb down their engines a bit, find efficiency instead of power, and sell 50mpg cars? I like speed as much as anyone, but does every car on the market need to go 0-60 in under 6 seconds?

I heart Improv Everywhere

Great, great, great album review, and by "album" I mean "15-year explosion of finality"

Love (related: Simon Owens talks to Anil Dash about the program)

I will miss the quarterly pub–the Times's sports journalism is underrated. (Note that David Foster Wallace's piece on Roger Federer, considered one of the great sports journalism articles, was published by Play.)
