The apostrophe’s for Jan Leach. The rest is for anyone who can read better than the guy driving that truck.

I see semis (or “semi’s”) in this alley all the time; the placement of the sign is too good to not snap a picture.

I hope you enjoy the music selection. It’s the sound of YouTube’s compromise between human beings enjoying music and musicians liking food. I think it sounds like Queen stuck in the pipes of an organ.

I actually did spend some time trying to find suitable music using YouTube’s AudioSwap feature, which allows you to choose from a “library” of tracks from musicians who have licensed them to YouTube for royalty-free use. Exasperated, I settled on this after close to ten minutes.

A stronger demonstration has never been made for the axiom, “You get what you pay for.”

I’ll give this pilot the benefit of the doubt and say this was a training exercise. But (s)he came awfully close to the power lines above my office’s parking lot and the street in front of it. The helicopter’s path also seemed to follow my car as I was returning to work this afternoon, so I was just a little creeped out. So I stuck around to grab this clip.

I just came home from a weekend in Columbus with EB, which included a sojourn to Yellow Springs for the fireworks you see here (the actual display was longer.)

It was in the 90’s all weekend, which I wouldn’t mind in drier air. Instead we were swimming in humidity and EB’s apartment, charming though it is, ~~lacks~~ does without air conditioning. It was an adventure.

I also got to see @renced and @damgodfrey, though not together. It’s worth mentioning that, despite being roommates, they’ve gone two non-consecutive weeks in the past month without seeing one another.

Columbus is a great city. So is Akron, though.*It’s good to be home.

Too cool. Thanks to Craig Shimala for posting these awesome videos and introducing me to my new one-of-my-favorite bands, XX.

“The first part is random strikes I happened to capture on the same night as the triple strike on Willis Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower and the John Hancock Building (vimeo.com/12816548). In the second clip you can kinda hear my neighbors on their balcony yelling after Willis Tower is struck with a giant rainbow in the background.”
