Joshua Davis reports via hour-long communications with the jailed orchestrator of a multi-million diamond heist in Antwerp. Very exciting.

I want to read this collection of articles someday, but I doubt I will.

From Justin Ouellette. For future reference.

Another one of these "How to Be Productive and Creative" lists, but they're good as inspiration/affirmations.

What you get when you order Thai curry. Helpful.

A fantastic music blog, with expertly crafted thematic mixes, often centered around certain periods in music. A great source for inspiration and knowledge for the music-obsessive.

A gravitational space-time detector picked up extra noise, which has made some theorize that our entire universe is a hologram.

This is insanely fascinating, and I honestly don't understand it at all. "In addition to its phantomlike nature, such a universe would possess other rather startling features. If the apparent separateness of subatomic particles is illusory, it means that at a deeper level of reality all things in the universe are infinitely interconnected." "We are really "receivers" floating through a kaleidoscopic sea of frequency, and what we extract from this sea and transmogrify into physical reality is but one channel from many extracted out of the superhologram."

"Success is how many shining eyes I have around me." And that old chestnut about never saying anything to someone that you wouldn't want to be your last communication with them. Platitudes, yes, but very good ones. The second inspirational music-related video in as many days to have moved me to tears (yesterday's Sigur Rós MoMA concert being the first).

"I spoke to an economist friend about the city’s problems. 'We don’t make anything,' he said. 'We don’t produce anything. We're a service economy, and no one can afford the services.' What happens after that? I asked. 'Anarchy,' he said. 'Basically, Gaza. If only we had something to rail against except ourselves, as Arab peoples do. What a relief that must be!'"

This is a fine, fine performance, and very well presented. Wish I could have been there.

"And then the police came."

This must be the best children's show ever.

This bookmarklet makes reading things on the web very simple and thus enjoyable by removing all of the often-useless and often-flashing worthlessness surrounding the content.

A blog featuring the best foods Americans ever invented.

Audio Visual Arts is a gallery in New York. Christian Joy, fashion designer for Yeah Yeah Yeahs and friend of my fashion-designer friend Leah, has a costume installation there. I hope to go there someday.

Ok, I think it's time for a new set... my previous one my personal favorites (from 2005-2007) is too huge already...

Just for reference.

Beautiful photographs to demonstrate words.

This may be worth looking into. I waffle on whether this sort of thing is ultimately a good decision — you're relying on someone else's framework, it takes a while to learn and master, and once you decide to go with it you're essentially stuck with it. But isn't that the case with any pseudo-framework developed for a website design? I should test this on a little project.

Excellent photos of quirky things and suspended objects.

Indeed!

Maybe useful at some point.

"There are many terms which refer to a state of relating to or pertaining to a certain thing or category of things. Instead of using a phrase such as 'pertaining to buttercups', you can substitute the adjective 'ranunculaceous'. Using the admittedly invented phrase 'adjectives of relation', I have compiled 842 such terms."

Not exactly hundreds. But more than English.
