Lego man in space: one (very) small step
Two teenagers from Toronto sent a Lego man carrying a Canadian flag into the stratosphere. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached four cameras to a balloon carrying the toy astronaut 24km above Earth. A week after launch they recovered their Lego man in a field, and discovered they had captured stunning space footage
We bought a weather balloon with points!

A hop farm in Vermont joined Twitter and started following me and about 50 others today. This is the company I’m in. Feels good.
Probably the biggest problem with cars in cities is that they require huge amounts of land for storage (a.k.a. parking). Here is a photo of Midtown Atlanta between 5th street and 12th street. This is one of the densest and most pedestrian-friendly ares in the entire state of Georgia. The red blocks indicate parcels of land that are 100% dedicated to car storage.

Can I just say that I’m so glad Dens is a supporter of the Livable Streets movement? Innovative, bright minds like his are going to help us ween ourselves from a car-obsessed culture.

I keep thinking I should just go ahead and make this game and worry about getting sued for it later.
Ooh, ooh! Please?
And beware of the insidious Mr. Glitch! He will eat you if you are wrong.
Gov. Bev Purdue at today’s announcement of Sierra Nevada’s expansion to North Carolina
GPOYW. I really need a job that puts me in the Southern Hemisphere for half the year so it’s not so goddamned dark when I go to the gym in the morning.
Edit: This picture was taken in better times, before I nearly went into a fit of rage over the L Train being down for the THIRD FUCKING MORNING IN A ROW.
I’m sorry, but: Boney Bones Jones.
I’ve got you beat:
Brown. Gumbo. Smith. (hyphen) Parker.
EDIT: Wait a second. I just said “Boney Bones Jones” out loud. Jaime wins.
Uh… so I’m Sticky Fingers King.
So there’s that.
Thanks, Chad… that was awesome!
But could you please catch a ball every once in a while? Please?

Thanks, Tumblr, for getting rid of backdating posts for no apparent reason
They got rid of timestamping, so now I can’t backdate posts so more important posts for the day appear at the top of my beer blog.
Tumblr: becoming less and less useful for me by the day.
You can probably guess from my whereabouts that I’m not having a good morning.
Anger Mismanagement of the Day: TGIF, amirite? Pro-tennis player Marcos Baghdatis knows what I’m talking about.
(Fun Fact: The racket manufacturer Tecnifibre quietly dropped its sponsorship of Baghdatis last year. Ironically, this outburst may do more for Tecnifibre’s racket sales than its prior working relationship with the athlete.)
About the attitude I exhibited at the gym on Wednesday morning when I found out I couldn’t watch this match because they don’t have ESPN2 on the TVs. AND LOOK WHAT I MISSED! MOTHER FUCKERS!
