Look Around You. Look Around You. Just Look Around You.
Those who grew up geeky in the 1980s will love this. It’s a sort of a double treat for me, because I read a lot of Usborne’s science books as a kid, which meant that I learned a lot of British English. Good times.
Some episodes are available on YouTube, like “Water.” “Le petit déjeuner est prêt.”

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!

I’ve added a little Javascript widget to the sidebar with my five most recent Metroblogging San Francisco posts. I’ve been putting a lot of content up there, so if you want to keep up with my stuff, you might want to add it to your RSS.
I’m particularly proud of how this picture of the sandwich I had at Café du Soleil came out. Doesn’t it look good enough to eat?

I am now an author for Metroblogging San Francisco! You can see my posts here. This won’t have too much of an impact on my tellumo.net output; most of the “slice of San Francisco Life” material will end up on MBSF, but commentary and stupid legal jokes will stay here. Metroblogging reaches all over the place, from Minneapolis to Tokyo to Azeroth, and I’m excited to be on it.

I saw the sign on the right a few days ago downtown, kinda east of Fisherman’s Wharf, and thought it was worthy of a picture, but not much else. (There was another sign nearby as well.) Apparently, though, this dude’s starting to hit the big time, if a Wikipedia entry and a post on SFIst can be regarded as “big time.” He and Frank Chu should release a split 7″ or something.

This makes “Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire” look like “Masterpiece Theatre,” at least on the class axis. Diana Christensen would have been proud. (Via TSG.)
