So it wasn't a very long lived thing after all...
This space will no longer be updated – but – a different thing by
the same name will live on...
Check out long live the... my new e-zine about words & music.

the Digital New Yorker
As established print magazines find their readers leaving and
advertising money going with them, some publishers embrace the
trend (the
New Yorker, perhaps)
while
others (the New York Times)
were quick to
dismiss the viability of an online presence and probably
missed their chance forever.
All of this is to say that the freshly launched New Yorker Digital Edition
is freaking amazing. Every single issue – from February, 1925 to now
is
online
in beautiful high resolution. The interface is a
delight to use,
and
the breadth of content is staggering.
Seriously, check it out. There's a free trial going on now.

Artist Geoffery Raymond is trying to become the "pre-eminent American
portrait painter of the 21st century," by endulging his portraits with
comments from strangers – sometimes crude, sometimes perceptive.
When Lehman Brothers collapsed, Raymond sat outside their offices
and gathered comments from employees and anyone else with
something
to say about CEO Richard Fuld.
Pictured above (in full here) are comments from Obama's victory.

Bike bits: Cardboard bike, chainless bike, etc.
New fangled: Trek has a new "chainless" bicycle which should run
a bit more
reliably and a bit quieter as well. It turns the wheels via
a carbon-fiber belt that lasts far longer and doesn't stretch (or get
your pants dirty).
A cardboard bicycle: Phil Bridge, a designer in Sheffield, UK made
a bike almost entirely
out of industrial-strength cardboard. (The
wheels and the chain arerubber and steel, respectively.)
It's biodegradable and cheap! (about $22 US). {via bcgp}

Obama’s Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy
This is great:
"According to presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University
of Minnesota, some Americans might find it "alienating" to have a
President who speaks English as if it were his first language."
-and-
"Talking with complete sentences there and also too talking in a
way that ordinary Americans like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder
can't really do there, I think needing to do that isn't tapping into what
Americans are needing also," [Palin] said.
