I thought this was kind of neat. The Beatles Complete on Ukulele (recorded in Shabby Road Studios in Brooklyn!) I was just looking again at a newsletter I got in October from Spottiswoode & His Enemies and noticed it mentioned at the bottom. We...

The Eyeballing Game eyeball right angles, center of circles, 3 lines converging, dissecting an angle, etc. Oh the worst for me is making a parallelogram. Planarity like untangling christmas lights, yarn, etc. only with more and more for each ...

nobody@vox.com(crankypants) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:20:55 -0500

top albums of 2009

nobody@vox.com(crankypants) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:30:46 -0400

I know it's only October, but everytime that dreaded year end listmaking comes up I draw a blank. Every year WXPN asks you to send them their list and then have a drawing for something, usually a bunch of the top CDs, maybe an iPod. So here ar...
