Google maps, what a joker. Thinking about taking a day off next week and going to a N. Carolina beach and I put in my zip code as starting point and N. Carolina beach as end point but I forgot the last number and the four digit number I did put evidently corresponds to Australia. So Google maps gives actual directions from a point in Australia up to the water's edge and then says, "kayak across the Pacific Ocean," 12,742 km. And then picks up again in Washington State and gives directions to NC. Total trip, "17,796 km, about 42 days, 17 hours."

A place I sublet for a while a year or so ago is coming up for an even longer sublet soon. I think it will be available for ~6 months. It's on the corner of Canal and Eldridge which I think is a really great spot. And it's a super place, if a little bachelor pad-ish (of course that might be a plus.) When I lived there the shower and sink were in the apartment, but the toilet was in the hallway shared with a few others on the floor. But now there is a private toilet in the apartment making it a little nicer. This is a classic old New York LES building with lots of garment and fashion business and only a few loft like apartments. I guess this means something like: the building is dirty and industrial, but maybe that makes it sort of cool (very high celings, huge windows, exposed pipes.) Anyway, $2600/month - not cheap, but actually not a bad deal in the present market. And the subletter is a really nice guy. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Images are here.
free books. i haven't really checked it out too much yet, but i had dinner the other night with an editor here. i'm not so much sold on reading on my computer, but the woman who i met was downloading a chapter a day of moby dick to her iphone, which sounds like something i could get into. a chapter here and there while waiting in line somewhere or on the subway, in a taxi. i never thought reading books on anything other than paper would appeal to me, but since i am getting used to being online and emailing on my phone, it is becoming something i'm willing to think about.
