In City Hall, between the copy room and the Office of Traffic Signal Adjustment, is the little-known Office of Density Planning. =)

In keeping with the Youtube Onslaught: a truly fascinating look into a spriter's work.

There are times when I just have to say: I will never be able to do that. There are times when Salieri simply must bow to Mozart, as it were, and be satisfied with that. Such is the nature of supreme innate talent.

Yesss, an entire copy of Piotr Kamler's Chronopolis. Disturbing, yet strangely fun. I want the soundtrack...sort of.

Fascinating picture. I can only imagine what Kofi Annan must have been thinking. "...Where shall this lead?"

Damn, it is so fascinating to be doing this paper on the United Nations. I had to track down an Eisenhower quote earlier:

http://www.eisenhowermemorial.org/speeches/19570220%20Address%20to%20the%20American%20People%20on%20the%20Middle%20East.htm

God, the agony of what was going on is so evident in his words. And it's so interesting that he appealed so strongly against using the Security Council to militarily ensure order. I need to review my 50s history.

This is so cool.  After having a really shitty day, I needed something like that to put my life into perspective.

Make sure to zoom in on the hominid timeline.

I was completely flabbergasted to learn that Nobuteru Yuki did character design work for the Battle Angel OVA released in 1993. Small world indeed! I have to wonder if Yugo's character design inspired Serge's bandana hat later on.

Apparently, it's threatening to be bigger than the Exxon Valdez incident some years back.

Here's hoping that at least some of the wildlife in that part of the Gulf make it out alive.
