katydid: Google street view car busted! Oh no! Driving a Prius (of course it was a Prius), a Google Street View recording guy was busted by a police on a motorcycle for doing something illegal in SF’s Presidio. I’ve never seen one of these vehicles before but I bet they get a lot of attention wherever they go. Poor guy (and to be caught on camera)! via sfist and dspain flickr

This is how an average, 20-something year-old young man speaks:

“I just had lunch with my friend Tom.”

This how an NYC-based Web/Tech affiliated 20-something year-old young man speaks:

Twitter: (12:15pm) On my way to Balthazar for big meeting to discuss how to kick ass 2.0

Twitter: (12:18pm) Just passed Bill Murray on Houston, I think. Looks old.

Twitter: (12: 31pm) At lunch with @TOM_999. This brilliant genius mind is going to be changing the very face of society.

Twitter: (1:22pm) Mission complete. Cannot believe how much ass we kick. Look out world, step out of the way.

Twitter: (1:31pm) Walking back to the office, listening to new MGMT remixes. RCRD LBL rules.

Blog: (2:35pm) [giant photo of a guy wearing a novelty T-shirt and/or hoodie, eating lunch] This is Tom. Everything you thought you knew about the world is about to be transformed by this visionary young man. His Facebook widget is going to change your life.

Yes! Yuck.

jacobd: jstn: Electric DeLorean! Faster than the gasoline version, but the lead-acid battery mod only gets 25 miles per charge. I have to wonder what could be done with some higher tech… I’d almost be willing to volunteer my delorean for a project like this Holy crap dude, you have a de lorean? Why didn’t you tell me this? Ok, now I’m definitely visiting.

This straw makes milk into chocolate milk! It is a great American invention. (via Amit Gupta) Update! - Eric Spiegelman points out a similar product from 1956, FLAV-R STRAWS Update 2b - A couple people have pointed out that the straw is actually an Australian invention. I still think it’s a very “American” idea, even if it was in fact created by those inventive Aussies!

<3 Miranda July

This video is 2.5 minutes long and if you love Mirand July you will love it. (But you have to turn your volume all the way up to hear it. But still you should watch it.)
