Jeff is selling some stuff... and of course his page is slicker than the original IKEA site...
craigslist is a beautiful thing... in all it's early-HTML-style glory (did I just invent a genre?)... it’s the new eBay! Or the new black! Or the new new! Or something... new is so, you know, old... we need something newer than new, new is so yesterday, so last week... it’s just not now enough...
Cool to see peeps at the Philly Style party last night, and to finally see what all the hubbub was about over Red Sky - apparently, nothing.
Ah, Thom Yorke and burnt bean juice makes a boy happy in such a depressing, yet amped kinda way...
Pixelized tees. Make’em yerself.
Goldmine.
And finally, this is tonite:

Has MTV finally given up on non-locations? Rumor has it “Real World” might finally be coming to Philly. Go make some noise at PhillyBlog about where you think they should live...

What to do when Mom (or work) finds out about your blog. Funny, I’m not freaked if anyone at home or at work finds this. Even if I had the infinte time and space it would take to chronicle the goings-on of my day-to-day, no one would believe me. Because no job could possibly be this inane. And no person could possibly be this fabulous. None of this can possibly be true. All this is is a way for me to post crap I think is somewhat cool and make semi-unimportant announcements from time to time. It’s my blog, damnit. Does any of this make sense? Too bad. Do you care? Most likely, no. I don’t think my parents have figured out how to turn on their PeeCee yet, anyway. ’nuff said.
Soulful objects in good form. A disgusting family of miscreants. Right-o.
Gabriel Bridger’s incredible MINI site posted incredible news about linking an iPod to the MINI’s steering wheel controls... move over BlitzSafe, it’s time for something leaner...
But once you’ve done it, don’t fall victim to playlistism...

I am one billionth of humanity. And .000000009% of the web.
Yet another site doing what my lazy ass has always wanted to do...
DIAD is way cool.
Carlos Contreras unofficially took 17th this weekend. Too bad no one knows what USTYLE is... or that, even if you did, you can’t buy it yet.
Song is doing a good job of becoming the next Jet Blue...
Congrats to Apple’s iTunes for winning Time mag’s Invention of the Year award.

Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza a day. 350 slices per second. 23 pounds a year. Disturbing.
Even more disturbing is that Wal-Mart, the largest and most powerful company in the world and champion of the “Buy American” campaign, is responsible for 10% of all Chinese exports to the US. Just one company. Find out more in this staggering “Fast Company” article.
And now, the retailer is planning to launch a pay-per-song music downloading service, similar to iTunes, by the end of the year. Naturally, since they’re already the world’s top seller of compact discs, controlling 14% of worldwide music sales. How much do you wanna bet the songs will be 97¢ each?
God save us.
In better news, just got word that Mr. Flax and Melanie will be joining us right-coasters for the holidays. Excellent. All my wayward boys back from Cali...
And, type in words here and let rock’s biggest stars sing it back to you. Check it out before Wal-Mart finds a way to charge you for it.

A little late, but still, go see Psyop’s sweet short for Bombay Sapphire called “Drift”.

Reverse filibuster tonight. 30 hours of useless talking to take up time and space. Sounds like my workplace. And, speaking of sleepwalking, BT has a video out for Somnambulist.
Paper show and lecture tonight at the Kimmel Center. Check here for details and to RSVP... I don’t think I’ll make it, but you should go.
The Breast Cancer Site needs your clicks. They’re attempting to give twice the usual mammogram funding this November! Visit them (and their sister sites) and show your support!
Paul has put up his site. Go check his talents. Also, check out this neat little site from some designer in the Netherlands.
Be a DJ. From your computer. Check out this nice software.
Let’s go to the drags!

Russ pointed out that you don’t see these for sale on eBay all that often... but it would come in awful handy in case of the end of the world... WTF?

Lots a-bloggin’ today, friends...
< technical >
Sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced looking at my work. You do look at my work, don’t you? I have been updating some things on the site using a different FTP program, and it seems to have condensed my HTML, deleting spaces and line breaks in the code. Which is not good for scripts. It’s fixed now. I think.
< /technical >
Thanks to the anonymous drunk girl at North 3rd who alerted us to this on Saturday night... I tried to get it on film, but the AL-1 is out of commission... and it wasn’t bright enough for the digital...
Guys, here’s a tip: if you happen upon girls at a bar that have boyfriends and that aren’t interested in you, and they leave because you creep them out, it is NOT cool to follow them to the next bar across town to continue to creep them out. That, gents, is grounds for an ass-whooping.
Those damned Danes are so cool... put on headphones and lay back.
Penn State has teamed up with Napster to provide digital music to students and cut down on filesharing and music piracy. But, as students are now finding out, the deal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be... at least not for them. First, the service isn’t free, as it’s been touted. The service fee for Napster comes from the students’ existing IT fee. So everyone is paying for it, whether you use the service or not. Second, if you do choose to use the service, the streaming audio content is free, but it costs 99¢ per song to download to a dorm computer. Pretty standard - it's the going rate over at the Apple Music Store. But there on that one dorm computer it must reside - it cannot be burned to a CD or otherwise transferred. And, get this, you can't take the songs with you when you leave PSU. So then, you pay for the service and for the songs that you cannot take with you when you leave the school... exactly what are you buying?
So, how about that ending to the The Matrix Revolutions? This may shed some light.
Thanks, Brian, for this awesome album cover link.
Disposable email addresses... quite interesting...
Nose down, ass up. I like my bugs olde skool. And cal-look. And severely chopped. And, well, any which way I can get ’em.
And the battle between bhogan and myself is now online for all to witness, blow by blow. Check it out!

Jeff and Karla are back! Happy birthday Jeff!
The boys at TDR have launched the Manhattan Loft Corporation site. I wish my spot (both residential and virtual) looked like this.
I've wanted to do something like this about Philly for quite some time now... my book was a start, but had a different purpose... a site might be easier to manage and update... wheels are turning...
Way better DVD and CD packaging.
And cool lunch packaging from the past... wish I could find my old Star Wars box!
Go get fonts. Info. Links. Tons. Holy crap.
Let the punishment begin. O well...

My back hurts.
200% excitement!
If anybody is looking for a MINI without wanting to order and wait for one, give Mini of the Mail Line a call. Good bunch of guys over there. It's where I bought mine! Anyways, they have a few Coopers and Cooper S's in stock and ready to go. They even have a couple of pre-owned MINI's available, but only Coopers (no S's). Email Mark @ MINI of the Main Line.
Sorry that we'll be missing your boxing event tomorrow Rob... best of luck to you and your athletes!

Oh well. 4 more years of Street. 4 more years of pay-to-play, croneyism, corruption, thug tactics, racial appeals, and unplowed streets in winter - oh yeah, and that pesky little FBI investigation thing. And to think, at this election there were only 118 counts of voting intimidation and violence! So much for the good Rendell did for this city...
Speaking of all things Philly and bad-ass, check out the Philadelphia font and dingbat sets by Iconian. The 'bats, alas, are for PeeCee only.
And for an update on things not in Philly that I wish were, Spanish retailer Zara has entered into the home furnishings arena. Slick site to boot. Despite the great efforts of my cousin Frank DiCicco, we don't need more IKEAs... bring Zara here!
And now for something completely different... Bug Selecta!

My patent was granted: D481239, hair band display. I only found out about it when some company wanted me to buy a plaque with it engraved. Thanks, no.
Cool to hear Google acquired Pyra Labs, makers of Blogger. I like both these companies and their stuff.
Monica's pyschadelic Halloween photos... this time I'm actually in one!
Glucosamine = next thing? Motion Potion thinks so...

Even more ladybugs today. And it's 81 degrees. In November. Go figure.
Only in South Philly... Go Gorillas!
Not one kid came a-trick-o-treatin to the loft on Friday. I guess that's what happens when your house looks like an old factory on a block surrounded by old factories.
773's shindig was a great time (Amy's pics... none of me or Kendra). It's a shame some people who attend such otherwise excellent functions feel the need to take things that aren't theirs when they leave. And duct tape pets in uncomfortable places. Wankers.
Sorry I missed my boys the Inmen playing the North Star this past weekend... I heard it was quite the show... damn.
Good article on what branding is and why it's important (other than for keeping me employed).
Karate come from HERE!
Cool pins. Even cooler rod site. Well done. Check'em.
Von Dutch (the man, not the clothes) puts it in perspective:
"I make a point of staying right at the edge of poverty. I don't have a pair of pants without a hole in them, and the only pair of boots I have are on my feet. I don't mess around with unnecessary stuff, so I don't need much money. I believe it's meant to be that way. There's a 'struggle' you have to go through, and if you make a lot of money it doesn't make the 'struggle' go away. It just makes it more complicated. If you keep poor, the struggle is simple."
