Welcome to My Hole

Hello, I live in Brooklyn. There is a great little park by my house, I call it June Park. Sure there are toys around—slides, bridges, a cement whale—but my favorite part of the park is this little hole in the ground.  Let me demonstrate how I sit in it. There are more ways than you might think to sit in this hole. Ahh!

You’re welcome to come by anytime, the hole is always open!

Cities By Rail

After being overwhelmed by the tight weave of the Paris Metro system, I dug in a little and found this great comparison of major world city’s rail systems mapped to the same scale.

Here are Chicago and Paris mapped in a way that makes me feel a little better. Living in Chicago I’ve gotten used to fewer lines covering a wider area, where the Paris system is complex, it’s more dense.

In just a few days now I’ll take the RER to Chatelet les Halles, transfer to the 11 (Brown) and take it to the Pyrenees stop. Which is not so bad! After all, I know my way around the Brown line already.

Beatnik Beards

Marc Campbell of Dangerous Minds says: “No, these are not photos of Mumford And Sons or the many faces of Bon Ivers or mugshots of Brooklyn hipsters. These are photos from 1957 of entrants in an annual beard-growing contest that took place in Kansas.” Via Boing Boing

Please refer any beard-related questions to Stephen, one of the founders of Montana’s famous Bruigher Beard Club.

Le Mashed Potato

Today’s morning dance has a Continental flair to it. Enjoy! Via Boing Boing.
