Alphabetise your skyscrapers
How cool is this? The letters of the alphabet created by negative space between buildings. Via ReadyMade.
Fair and balanced
It’s nice to see both Obama and McCain supporters on Twitter. Where are the supporters of the independents, though? Come on, show yourselves! (Edited to add: Some of those Twitterers sure are insane.) On another note, our editorial intern wants to know how Obama can be an elitist and a socialist at the same time. I want to know how he can be Muslim and have a crazy Christian pastor, too. And on another note, I hope voter turnout is high. Democracy is something to be cherished and fought for.
Kiss of death
The Economist has pretty much endorsed Barack Obama, which usually means something bad will happen. Heh. I’m for Barack Obama myself, mostly because he is certain he doesn’t have all the answers and will try to find the best compromise among competing solutions. John McCain (well, his backers) and Sarah Palin should not get to the White House because they’re certain they’re right.
Best China blog?!
Um, thanks for the nomination, but I live in Scotland now. Have been for over two years.
Chinese Democracy by Guns N’ Roses
Just heard the new GNR single, Chinese Democracy (the Chinese characters make sense, by the way). Um, it’s okay I guess, which is a vast improvement over what I’d anticipated.
Star Trek is not real, I repeat, Star Trek is not real
The comments on this post comparing the actors in the new Star Trek movie are priceless. They are aware that the cast from the original series are actors playing roles, right? And it’s cheesy science fiction? Heehee.
Halfbakers are very funny
Horse porn on fake DVD/CDs, anyone?
Fame at last
I’m quoted in an article about social networking in publishing: Socially acceptable. I accept money for product endorsements, you know. I’m thinking advertisements like the Gillette Mach 3 -> Fusion campaign, but I’ll throw keyboards at people who call weblog posts ‘blogs’.
