The 1st and last time I will post re: websites

I've long been bored with the internet; it's a fad whose tenure has ended but just won't clean out its desk and go, much like tight-rolled jeans in Europe. As such, I hadn't thought my ComeCorrect entries would be rife with weblinks, but I am but a vessle and that's what the good lord hath provided tonight. A nice quiet evening of eavesdropping (or as I call it, Vicarious Conversation) has netted two reasons to flip up the lid of your laptop.

If I may regress for a moment: These tips were picked up a few hours ago in Boise at my favorite organic cafe from a friendly table of retired hippies, laid-back mountain-dwellers, and one obvious trustafarian (ie: dreadlocks down to his birkenstocks, Red/Yellow/Green colored AmEx card in his hemp wallet) who were drinking organic beer and certainly NOT discussing politics.

1) The Center for Land Use Interpretation is an obscure/brilliant research organization based in LA that is dedicated to land/landscape issues and effortlessly presents info in unconventional and artistic ways.

2) A few minutes on CLUI's site led me to one of their current exhibitors : Animal Vegetable Video, an art/research project whose motto is "Pursuing the Art and Science of Capturing Animal and Plant Perspectives". I must say I was a little disappointed that the armadillo-cam didn't end at the front-bumper of a southbound semi.

Do you suffer from multiple-personality disorder -- eg: you're both a Red Sox and and a Yankees fan? Short on cash? Never fear. Seems the Chinatowns of NYC and Boston are linked by several bus lines and suicidally competitive pricing has made the 4-hour, 215 mile trip cheaper than a cab ride from SOHO to the East Village and probably more entertaining than our town favorite 24 Bus. Bring $10, a good book, and god help you if you don't have an iPod.

Everything else on the internet is crap and I promise that all my future observations will root from the analog world.
