Via the New York Times. I’m considering making a calendar of stupid, ill-considered, or just plain heartless laws, or perhaps a trading card game. If the latter, this would be a powerful one indeed.

Last night while moving stuff to my new room, I came across a couple of Warren Ellis’s Transmetropolitan books, which I highly recommend you read. The official site or the Wikipedia article will explain it in more detail, but the bit that matters is that the protagonist, one Spider Jerusalem, has this cat that I can only describe as having one and a half heads. Three eyes, two mouths, that sort of thing.
So what do I see on BoingBoing today? This.

Even if you know hardly anything about art, I can practically gurantee you that you’ve seen Georges Seurat’s Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Some enterprising folks in Beloit decided to duplicate the setting on the Rock River. The results are amazing!
I thought I’d start making soap posts last week, but the people who run my apartment building called me and said they’d like me to move soon (I’m staying in this building but moving to a slightly bigger place), so that’s been taking up all my free time. Rest assured, my special brand of soapy fun will soon grace these pages. Or something.

I’m somewhat proud of my most recent post on MBSF. It probably won’t get me any friends in SF’s public-works department, but I think it’s kinda funny. Have a look.
Soap posts begin this week!
