I had the urge to compare a pic of Jack at his senior prom with me at the same age only 30 miles from each other. We’ve been together for over 6 years now, but these pictures were taken years before I’d really met Jack, but probably after the first time I’d ever seen him and his band, Highland Drive.

Seeing these guys on Friday the 13th EFF YES!!! I have a huge crush on Bert McCracken. Not my favorite track but for some reason there aren’t many good Used videos on YouTube.
Buying Influence in the Obama Administration
Cause that’s how government under Capitalism works, apparently.

“Opponents of the public option claim that by being forced to compete against the government, health care companies will be at an unfair advantage. But right now, health care companies hardly have to compete at all. In most states, one health care provider controls the vast share of the market, which allows them to raise premiums far faster than the wages of their customers rise. The market might be the best solution for health care, but right now, it’s being controlled by virtual monopolies in many states.”
I LOVE GOOD MAGAZINE. I also love interactive, animated infographics. IBM is apparently pretty cool as well.
The Solar Roadway Panel (TM) is still on the drawing board, but it does promise lots of ambitious features. For instance, it will have smart LED lights to serve as lane markers or spell out messages. It will sense animals on the roadway and warn drivers (deer totally love the idea). It will be heated so as to prevent icing. You can stop and plug your electric car into it if you ever run out of power. And oh so much more.via infrastructuristThis is absolutely incredible!…Still I think investing in transit is a better idea, but retrofitting all of our roads to create power would be so perfect!

“I entered this exhibition specifically because the Erogenous Zones theme caught my attention. I am a rapidly aging activist artist and during the last few years have been working on-and-off with a series of work that reflects aging through the digitization of physical signs…hairy ears, bald spots, gray hair, knee x-rays, etc. These images are modulations of high resolution flat-scans of my ears. The dark hairs are actually from my sideburns…no nasty stuff…just ears. I also embrace absurdity, unlikely juxtapositions, and chance operations. My images of ears are usually “pretty” but on closer inspection the inclusion of hair tempers the prettiness and produces cognitive discord. I do not think of these works as sexually provocative but recognize that they do include fleshy forms and hair which can form some allusion to that. It is difficult to find a place for these works in formal and academic venues. Certainly, we consider ears to be an erogenous zone…thus their inclusion in this exhibition.”
Sort of has less impact when you have to explain it on the internet, doesn’t it?
