I often joke that in a train v. moose situation, the train would be the loser.
But I have never heard of moose v. helicopter before. [here]
Instead of slowing down after being shot with a tranquilizer dart, a moose charged a hovering helicopter used by a wildlife biologist, damaging the aircraft’s tail rotor and forcing it to the ground.
Don’t screw with the moose.

Just found that Dwell magazine has a blog.
Ooops! A pseudo-blog. No feed.
Dwell: Get with the program.
UPDATE: Apparently it does! There is an RSS graphic at the bottom. But that’s not the feed link. Oh no!
You have to click the image to go to a page that has the page that has the RSS feed in it.
No. The feed is part of the blog. It MUST appear on the same page as the blog. Making it hard to find defeats the point of the process.
David Parmet pointed me to these Pledge Week extravaganzas.
My fave:
Surviving members of every 50s doo-wop band fight to the death with clubs — shirtless and totally coked-up — in massive Thunderdome-like arena

Some additions:
STOP. THE. AWFUL. PLEDGE. DRIVES!
Sorry to quote a hideous dog treat commercial from eons ago, but this post at the Core 77 Design Blog reminded me of it.
An alarm clock that reminded me of my halcyon days, when carcinogens and fat mattered less to me.
It also reminded me of a passage from Neal Stephenson’s Zodiac describing the all-black breakfast. My copy of this hilarious book is in a bin in the basement, so I can’t quote it directly.

Dave Sifry launched a few great ideas that will be studiously ignored by PBS execs because they know better. [here]
I have said this many times in the past [here, here, and here]: asking me for money while showing “Lord of the flies dance to 60s motown classics sung by Celtic women” is not helping your cause.
Micropayments texted in by SMS, that’s brilliant. It might show PBS what their viewers what they TRULY watch.
