About the economic recession:
"In the middle of this decade, then-revered Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan believed that information technology had transformed the very nature of recession. Just-in-time inventory, supply-chain dashboards, and an army of permalancers made adapting to changing business conditions so easy, so quick, that old-school recessions, defined by two consecutive quarters of economic shrinkage, would be a thing of the past. Instead, we would experience a series of microrecessions — a down month here or there, followed by upticks — all happening so quickly we barely felt the prick."

. I like the connection between box and idea, but gimmick wears off quickly.

. Business card with moving gears? You bet! A second type here


need i remind you it's christmas time? Legit reasons to get drunk and rowdy in a santa getup.

Occulus yacht | Mickey D's merchandise | Some tetris merch | Ben Templesmith commissions | Nick Carver's doodledump | Martin Ontiveros. Cool stuff; he has an inclination to rainbow-colored rock spectacles...less gay than it sounds | Rudolph the reindeer papercraft. More here |

mostly via Superpunch or starred RSS. I cannot get over Superpunch's excellence...if Superpunch took up ranting, I might as well quit.

ran 2.8km in 20', 210KCALs.
Bench: 16x50, 16x40. Not bad, but I should really raise my minimum to 50 now.

I committed to 'Movember', but I think I made a mistake...I look horrible with a 'stache...it's all patchy, thin and runty...add to that, I work an office job so the in-between phases of not having 'stache and having full-blown 'stache are really problematic...Hopefully my bro will step in and save the day with his uber-impressive 'stache growing abilities.
