Digital analogs are no longer sufficient
Seth Godin has a interesting piece pointing out how a simple digital analogs of non-device aren’t good enough. The reason is simple:
Just about every traditional non-digital solution is bounded by the limits of mechanics. Once we start connecting (and the connection revolution won’t rest until it’s all connected) then the problem can be reset—we can find the best solution, not a better way to solve it the old way.
His suggestion of not even having a tradiontal meter and having some simular to an EZ-pass system, is an interesting one. No longer would you need to guess how long you plan to stay there is the first good reason.
Thinking about parking reminds me of an old 99% Invisible podcast about parking design issues.
The Most Confusing Download Pack Ghostbuster for Reality Fighters
I’m just so confused right now.
Reality Fighters is only for the PS Vita, which is disappointing. I was very curious to try it out.

Comedy Bang Bang! TV Show with Zach Galifianakis
I’m a huge fan of the podcast and the clip with Galifiankis has a bit of Tim and Eric feel to it.
OopsieFocus Script
Omnifocus is my choice of task managing. I was just pointed to Shawn Blanc’s OopsieFocus Script script for those moment I try to add a task but Omnifocus not running.

A Possible Storyboard to Micheal Bay's TMNT
As soon as i heard TMNT was going to be owned by Nickelodeon, i expected nothing good.
If you’ve haven’t heard how Micheal Bay wishes to do a movie using The Turtles and making some changes to the origins, making them aliens rather then earth turtles that have mutated, you must be living a very productive life.
I was pointed to a possible story board.
Star Wars Blu-Ray Changes: More Porkins
Best edition to the new blurays: more Porkins.
29 years ago, Muppets battled Egyptian gods for the soul of a little boy.
From scott lynch’s and this is no joke either:
In the 1983 special Don’t Eat the Pictures, assorted humans and Muppets are stuck overnight in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While Oscar, Bob, Cookie Monster, Olivia, and some small children are having the sort of mild and educational adventures you’d expect, Big Bird and Snuffy meet Sahu, a 4,000-year-old Egyptian prince (!) condemned to wander eternally in spirit form (!!) unless he can answer a riddle posed by a demon (!!!) that appears to him each night at midnight. I am not fucking with you. This really happened.
The post is a great read. Also here’s a link on youtube of part 1 of 8. It’s so strange, because I vaguely recall some scenes of the museum, however I don’t recall being interested in it all.
