So I'm heading to Istanbul tomorrow. Will be spending 9 days there, then 5 in Ankara. I'm helping chaperon a study tour of 12 undergrads, so my days are pretty much booked, but I'll be doing all the must-see kind of places. Thinking I'll stay on for an extra couple days to do Ephesus and...

Hey. So I've got 32 hours of driving to do this week. Any good podcasts you all would recommend? I've heard 99% Invisible is good, and I've got NPR Science Friday. What else say you fine folks?

Searched, didn't find anything. Weird performance art thing. Thick girl trying to dance on butter. Funny. pXSvQdMoG78 Also, did you hear Godspeed! has a new record coming out?

I've been curious about this lately. I use Spotify because at this point they have pretty much everything (only exceptions I ever notice are Pink Floyd and Zepplin), you can store any music you want on your HD, and it's 320 kbps, but it seems like most people still aren't using subscription...

The DOT has killed the Chinatown bus. If I want to put my money and life in the hands of a clearly negligent, dirt cheap company that will take me from DC to NYC for less than 30 bucks, that's my own goddamned business. This aggression will not stand, man.

Bill to place ads on city fire trucks moves forward - baltimoresun.com In Baltimore. Seems to be getting the go-ahead from the city government so far. Supposedly it will save 3 companies from closure, which is pretty awesome. On the other hand, kind of sad that's it come to this. What say you...

I went outside about 10 minutes ago because some asshole was parked on his motorcycle across the street revving his engine and honking his horn, driving my dogs nuts. He speeds off, and while I'm still standing out there I hear lots of sirens getting closer and this guy flies down my little...

Donald Duck Dunn, of Blues Brothers and Booker T. and the MGs fame, died this morning at age 70. I guess Levon and Earl needed a solid bass player. MBnLgNmB1eM IM6MEb2xnLk u_juH0AHvwk

I've been missing Uighur food a lot lately. If you don't know, Uighurs are the Turkic Muslims in far NE China. Their food is like a cross between delicious fatty Turkish or Persian food and fragrant, spicy western Chinese food. You get things like huge plates of roasted chicken with freshly...

Not really a puppy. He's two. I'm taking him from a friend because he's had some behavioral issues in the past, but he is a cute little fucker. On the right. The black one's been with me for 5 years; hoping he sets a good example.

Hey, so I'm looking to buy either a low-end or used android tablet in the near future. My needs for functionality are minimal: wifi, maybe netflix/ hulu, better pdf viewing than my Kindle, ebook reader, and good battery life. Video quality isn't very important, but obviously a good, responsive...

Hi, friends! So I'm applying for entry-level work at a bunch of organizations in DC starting this summer, and several require that you include a desired salary in your cover letter and also request that you include your salary history. The problem is, (a) it's an entry level job so I don't...

Levon Helm’s musical journey - The Washington Post I saw him a year or two ago, and he couldn't sing any more because of the cancer. May he go peacefully. eOi0tC00Luc

So I just got an email that the University of Texas, where I'm a grad student, has officially gone tobacco-free. While a few temporary smoking areas will be in place until early 2013, after that smoking anywhere on any university campus in Texas will be a fine-able offense. So whatever, it's an...

Today, on the corner of a major road in the hood:

YsrAIe2xWpU Anyone played this yet? I just bought it on Steam for $10 (until march 13). Comes with an expansion. Only played 20 minutes or so, but it's a cool concept and well executed. Game world, art direction, and music are all awesome as usual.

is a Dutch senator. Tiny Kox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In a country where so many people speak English, really? Why, why, why would you go by that name?

We've had a rash of people misusing this phrase lately. In Season 3 of Happy Days, Fonzie jumped 14 garbage canson a motorcycle in a highly rated episode. NI5RRrb39EA In Season 5, They brought back basically the same gag with a ridiculous scenario where the Fonze is dared to jump over a tiger...
