The Wilderness Downtown

Notes: you have to get involved, but it's a simple process and pays off wonderfully. Also - view in Google's Chrome browser, if possible.

Serenity Now

Jerry Stiller visits the Costanza house in Queens, rings the doorbell and meets the anti-Costanzas. A nice little video for Seinfeldphiles.

Anthony Dart

Extremely nice work from South African graphic designer, Anthony Dart.

Arc Box

"Arc Box" - a beautifully designed compilation box set from experimental / noise label, Utech Records. More details here.

This is the sort of thing that makes MP3 files seem worthless.

NY Times article on Chinatown Fair, one of the city's few remaining old school arcades. I was a little surprised to learn how rare arcades are now. You'd think the communal vibe would have kept them hopping.

5@5

I just discovered Eatocracy, CNN's food site. The 5@5 feature is a quick, but interesting read - it's "a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe."

So now I know Wolfgang Puck thinks Pink Floyd goes well with steak and Cabernet.

Bootlegging

We all know how to make copies of CD's, cassettes and MP3s, but do you want to make physical copies of vinyl records? Here's how.
