Mozzarella Saturday
- The Korean pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
- Cursing Winnebago guy. You believe any of that shit?
- Why lead paint is good. “A house painter in the early 20th century would show up to a job with two buckets—one for the paint substrate, one for the lead powder. The more lead he added, the better the paint, the higher the price.”
- A British girl talking about Derrida and . . . I still don’t get it.
- Night photography of the American West.
- Be very afraid: Giuliani’s plan for international politics. Bonus: a great title.
- A few choice excerpts from 17th century women’s guide to looking good.
- Steve Jobs’ recent Apple update [Quicktime]. The new iMacs are cool enough, but the section on the new iMovie is what really got me.
- Not to mention this week in how much Vista blows: the 2008 Olympic committee refuses to run it ‘cause there “could be some problems.”
- How to make your own mozzarella.
- L8dest watches from TokyoFlash.
- A 99¢ fractal photograph.
- A fan-created video for Bjork’s Innocence.
- Don’t bother with this, it’s a to-read for myself: How to make people buy books.
- Quick: name the other two countries in the world besides the US that don’t use the metric system. Answer.
- Richard Pryor on the mafia.
- Olafur Eliasson’s Your House.
- I was waiting for Franklin to link to a super-amazing Strongbad video, because I sure can’t pick one, and now he has.
- To try: leave the store without showing them your bags and receipt. Of course you can.

What’s not to get about Derrida?
Well, I’m sure the author who included brennschluss, aromatic heterocylic polymers, conspiracy theories about WWII involving IG Farben/Royal Dutch Shell/Psychochemie AG, teenaged Kazakh dope fiends driving Russian officers in the Zone, sympathy for the preterite masses, and exiled South-West African Schwarzcommando running around occupied Germany while assembling a modified A-4 rocket all in one novel would have no problem digesting Derrida in one easy sitting.
But somehow I doubt one of the most private and reclusive authors still alive has taken up the habit of posting comments in the Miami blogosphere.
Night photo site very good.
P.S. Winnebago man: outstanding!
WOW! That night photgraphy sight is incredible. Thanks for the link.
