You Get Out

“It’s all almost too stereotypical,” Shore reflects. “A 1930s-style military parade as a performative assertion of the Führerprinzip,” she says, referring to the doctrine established by Adolf Hitler, locating...

Traffic No-Nos

Like I said, I’ll never understand Michigan drivers, no matter how long I live here. This afternoon I was waiting to cross the street (at Division and William, I think) and a driver of a sports car stamped his...

RSS/Atom Returns

RSS and Atom feeds are working again; you can find links to them in the ‘Remember’ section of the navigation list on the left. Let me know if there’s a problem with them. I’m still working on the...

From Zero to Two

I was over in Ypsilanti today, taking the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification at Willow Run High School, and had almost three hours between the morning and afternoon sessions. So I went to explore Ypsi, where I...

Cranked

The first commute ride with the new Marin Bobcat went absolutely great. Especially since I’m not in shape for it any more. The only problem is that it was not only the first, but the last, commute ride to grad...

The magical check arrived at 2:30 this afternoon, so I hotfooted it over to Ann Arbor Cyclery to make a certain purchase. Curses. Foiled again. AAC closed today for the long holiday weekend. I’ll be bike-less for...

NPR: Hipper than Thou?

I love this, and I’m not sure why: NPR’s ombudsman scolding NPR for producing and airing music commentary that’s too “hipper-than-thou.” The ombudsman (Jeffrey Dvorkin, whose last major...

Sunday Driving

We took a little drive to Saline, where we noted that the Dairy Queen is much nicer than the ones in Ann Arbor. We then went over to Curtiss Park and sat by the river for awhile. It was most pleasant … the nicest...

Selfishness

From the movie Born Yesterday, starring William Holden: ‘The whole history of the world is the story of the struggle between the selfish and the unselfish … all that’s bad around us is bred by...

Cart Put Before Horse

So, let’s see if we’ve got this straight. Virgin USA has its corporate headquarters in New York, but its flight ops headquarters will be clear across the country in San Francisco. They need to hire 3,000...
