A bird's eye view.

Dear Meredith:

When I fly, I always try to get aisle seats. But watching this video, in which some fella videotaped city lights as he flew over them on a cross-country trip, is just so beautiful that I might reconsider the next time I fly get on a plane.

Scanner art.


Dear Meredith:

This is what happens when you get to use CT scanners for art, and not for science. It's just fascinating.

Thinking of sushi makes me hungry all over again.

Dear Meredith:

I love sushi. So much. I am a bit suspicious of conveyor belt sushi, though, because where does it go? What's the process? I need to see my sushi being made for me! But no longer - these curious souls put their video camera on a sushi conveyor belt so that we all may uncover the mystery.

Delicious or disgusting?

Dear Jennifer,

I'm sure you are a fan of chocolate. I'm sure you are a fan of gifts. I'm sure you love a gift of chocolate.

But what about a gift that is literally all chocolate. Won't this just be a mess?

Check out this site and judge for yourself if you would like to buy these.

A little bit of whimsy for your Friday.

Dear Meredith:

It's Friday! Since it's probably a slow day at work, take the time to watch Le Ballon Rouge, or The Red Balloon, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1956.

Twitterific!


Dear Jennifer,

Cliff's Notes may be out of a job. Twitter could be the new way to synopsize classic works of literature.

For instance: THE ODYSSEY on Twitter.

Hungry?



Dear Meredith:

Bored at work? Have leftovers from lunch? Do what this intrepid soul did, and scan in your sandwiches. Just make sure to wipe the glass clean afterwards.

Dear Jennifer,

Sorry that I have been so ill lately and unable to provide you sweet procrastination. I hope this can make up for it.

There's just something so relaxing about the surf.


Dear Meredith:

Oh, how I wish I was at the beach right now. But it's only Wednesday. Then again, I work from home - what's keeping me from leaving? Since you're stuck at work though, enjoy these gorgeous photographs from Christian Chaize, who has taken pictures of the same beaches in Portugal from the same angle over an extended period of time. The photos are just lovely.

If we had a pet pig...

Ethan would name him "Grinder". I suppose Grinder's day would be much like Kingsford's.
