fact of the day:
95 percent of the water supply is delivered to New York City by gravity alone. The downhill flow creates enough pressure to shoot the water as high as six stories in most parts of the city without electricity or pumping.

splurged on a shave and a haircut today. wish the haircut was a little more even which is why i splurged to begin with instead of going to the much cheaper place on st. marks. but i really like the place as barbershops go. and they do a fair amount of business so im not alone in thinking that.
also, apparently there is no such thing as a trim. barbers only know "cut." get a pair of scissors in their hands and theres no stopping them.
admittedly it doesnt really have much impact on my life but its still lame.

Flickr is now allowing for videos to be uploaded, but the max length can only be 90 seconds and they are calling them "long photos". Here's some thoughts on the form that might possibly be of interest to you animated gifers. Are short loops more like photos than video?
i saw a beautiful table made from reclaimed bowling lanes at the brooklyn flea market this weekend.
But five minutes after being injected with etanercept – according to the film which was supplied and edited by the clinic – he greets his wife. Visibly shocked, she says he has not recognised her for years. Mr Miller then hugs her.Still:

richard price interview on lenny lopate from the other day. i love listening to him speak. he was also at union square b&n, did anyone go? i went to see him read from, must have been clockers, years ago down near battery park or somewhere on the water downtown and he called martin amis a midget.
Greenspan's economics Ph.D possibly BS?
Signed up for ZipCar on Monday night and rented a car (a Mini) for a couple hours yesterday. Very slick operation. Almost no friction. Seriously couldn't be easier. I really wonder about what percentage of cars / customers / transactions give them problems? Seems like a potential nightmare for them, but I hope it's not and I hope they make it. Highly recommended. I pay $50 a year, plus a $25 one time sign up fee. Then I can reserve cars at a specific location, for a specific number of hours, and it starts around $8/hour. I think the mini was $11. Gas, parking, and tolls included.
I might have posted this before, but in case not: rotating hypercube animated gif.
Wow. Wait for it to load and then move your mouse around. Cool and freaky all in one. I think this might be climbing up the far side of the uncanny valley. CGI porn is going to be huge I think (link has nothing to do with porn of course.)
