Well done Google.
I’m not a lawyer, but dang. The Google Chrome EULA looks highly suspect. Think I’ll stick with Safari.
This just brings a smile to my face.

Quick side note to my post about the Stella. Last week I presented a smaller version of this presentation to our design group. It was the keynote presentation for a design conference some of us attended earlier this year. In the presentation, Mr. Spool talks about the importance of using what he calls “tricks” and “techniques” to accomplish a specific task or set of tasks.
Piaggio (the company that makes the Vespa) started out making locomotives and then mostly airplanes after that to meet wartime demand. After WWII, they needed to start doing something else to survive and thus the Vespa was born to meet the needs of a crippled Italian economy and people who needed cheap, reliable transportation.
If Piaggio had thought of themselves as an “airplane” company, they may not have ever created the Vespa. They used a set of tricks (using tools to do things they were never meant for) and techniques (skills that can be applied to any task) to create a sea change in their company. They took the design skills they had and leveraged those skills to completely reinvent themselves. Today, other companies still look to the Vespa as the benchmark for elegant scooter design.
Speaking of scooters, please accept the awesomeness that is vintage Italian two-wheeled goodness before it destroys you. I named her “Wanda.” She gets 80mpg. More info on this fine Italian beauty can be found here.
Fantastic illustrations of obsolete superheroes. I love the one called “Larry 3000.”

VIVACALACA. Que bueno.
As featured by Tufte, Reebee Garofalo’s Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music is now in poster form.
Monster Engine. Making fantastic paintings from kids’ drawings. One of my favorites.
Just saw U23D last night. I’m not the world’s biggest U2 fan but I can say without reservation that this movie is one of the best concerts I’ve been to. It’s only around for a few more days, so if you’re thinking about it, don’t wait.
And no, it’s not pronounced “Mole.” It’s more like “Mall” (Also available, BTW.)
Flash can be used for good, or for evil. This is clearly on the side of evil.
