Local Sprint store has some trouble with their operating system.

To borrow a line from KA, anyone who walks out of a Cure show without feeling at least a little bit more in love is an asshole. The Cure have always been about keeping the private moments of fun and joy dear in a world that, at best, doesn’t care; and this weekend felt just like “seeing you eat in the middle of the night.”

The Cure will be in town for two nights: Friday at the Garden and Saturday at Radio City Music Hall. Holy hell am I excited. Reviews should be here soon.

“I wonder what Jane Austen would think of some of her crazier fans, now that she has fans.”

Wonkette recently linked to a hilarious comic featuring Teddy Roosevelt by Kate Beaton, and ever since I’ve been hooked. This Jane Austen comic, and the ones inspired by it, really seals the deal, though.
More of her work can be viewed at her website, KateBeaton.com, or at her LiveJournal, where the discussion and commentary is much more lively, but you have to put up with the crappy LiveJournal site…

The Smithsonian made hundreds of photos from its collection available on Flickr, hi-res and free of any rights-restriction. The most interesting ones to me are of prominent scientists of the nineteenth century. The one above is of physicist Max Planck (1858-1947).

Via PhotoShelter, photos from a ‘90-’91 exhibit by photographer Bill Henson. I love these photos, although judging from the comments (which are interesting), they’re apparently rather technically flawed. Typical.

An amazing series of long-exposure photographs by Alexey Titarenko. These images make my head spin a little bit thinking about the whole idea of spacetime; and I’d sure love to hear what a physicist would have to say about them.

This video, created by a group of Savannah College of Art and Design alumni called Dandy Dwarves, is one of the best things I’ve seen on video in a long time. It’s a part of a series of shorts titled SCADshorts. View better quality versions here.

The Avs aren’t going to win any games if they can only play half of it. Also, what was the story with the fans at the Joe? Is it just me or did they all just take a two hour snooze there beginning halfway through the first period?

Get ready — for the first time since 2002, the Wings and Avs are gonna meet in the playoffs.
