Recently I complained about the Media's eagerness to talk around soccer rather than about soccer. KCRW's Design and Architecture had a fascinating interview about this year's football design, and how it's affecting gameplay. That's exactly the sort of discussion that I had been craving. I was looking in all the wrong places for it (the Conservative News Network, for example) and just needed the southern California public radio take.

Today's Planetizen was hilariously pointed. Nothing very new, just jabbing at suburban planning in the face of peak oil, but there was some good pwnage to be had.

I had an otherwise quiet day. I guess it was Skateboard Day or something, and there were about 75 skaters that skated past me down Nicollet Mall today. Also, the transit cops are riding segways now. Why are the bicycle cops on heavy mountain bikes anyway? I'm still waiting for one of them to get smart and bring a fixie to work.

Is Kirby Pucket Overrated? I'm arguing yes. Nobody else is, apparantly.

One last note: I apologize if anybody's comments didn't go through. I turned off the comment moderating system, so it should go through now if you put the 'D' in there.
