recursion

I'm having some transportation difficulties lately.

I broke the passenger-side mirror on our car pulling out of the garage. Cost to fix: $450.

And today I was riding my bike into work. It was a little wet from the rain. Coming down the hill into the office parking ramp, I took the turn too fast. Trying to avoid the curb, my bike slid out from under me and I ended up tasting some asphalt with my elbow. I wasn't seriously hurt (though my elbow still hasn't stopped oozing -- yuck), but my bike hit the curb and the front tire is fucked.

Well knock me down and call me a yuppie. I actually saw something Sky Mall that I want.

The ReSource PowerStation is a desktop power strip for up to three rechargable devices (cell phone, iPod, PDA, GameBoy, etc.). It hides the cords and you always know where to find your stuff.

I think this would be pretty useful as it would help me eliminate the ritual morning hunt for my cell phone.

I had no idea that Modernist architecture was so inspired by fascism. It makes sense.

I was at Home Depot (or Home Despot as my co-worker likes to call it) this weekend and I saw this cool ceiling fan there.

It looks like it's out the HQ from some gritty cop movie.

Also, it reminds me of the super-cool retro Ecco fans (see also Home Portfolio).
