Starting now, working backwards

Here's the plan:
1. Post the stuff I've been saving for so long.
2. Write original content.

Right to it:
Brock, Dan, Aaron, and I went to Europe in July: Spain, France, Switzerland, and jetting through Italy to make a plane. We took pictures! Brock's album, my album, Dan's albums 1 and 2

Some MIT students assessed the hackability of the T. Not so pretty for the MTA.

Slow-motion lightning! Need we say more?!

A talk by Arthur Ganson, the machine artist of great renown, on TED.

Videos from Tap Plastics on a variety of topics, including mold making and plastics repair.

Index of great road rides around the bay area.

The five-ringed bicycle. Of course!

Umphrey's is playing Halloween at the Warfield. This will be two in a row for yours truly, as STS9 played it last year and it was awesome.

From an e-mail thread I snooped on a while back, here are two hostel-like places worth using in Boston:
bostonhostel.org for the traditional hostel experience
cambridgezen.com for the cheap buddhist meditation experience (Cambridge Zen Center - $30 a night and you get homemade vegetarian meals of an exceptional quality, plus the opportunity to do meditation practice on their schedule and meet cool people.

Remixes of songs from Thom Yorke's The Eraser from tago-mago:

And finally, from the press release: "WASHINGTON -- NASA and Internet Archive, a non-profit digital library based in San Francisco, made available the most comprehensive compilation ever of NASA's vast collection of photographs, historic film and video Thursday. Located at www.nasaimages.org, the Internet site combines for the first time 21 major NASA imagery collections into a single, searchable online resource. A link to the Web site will appear on the www.nasa.gov home page."
