Daily View, 5/29 (Memorial Day)

Am on holiday today. Am in denial about work hideousness, though I have started my job hunt. Argh.

• Invisibility cloaks just may be possible...


• No, please NO! No camel toes in space!! The Asics space travel shoe


• I am a sucker but these are incredibly simple, use a k8-approved color scheme AND a trusty sans serif (what is that, Arial Rounded MT Bold?): Monday to Friday t-shirts


• PK at BibliOdyssey rocks, as always—this time for featuring the history of infectious disease.


• Murakami is sexy? Apparently, says Playboy's list of 25 sexiest novels.


• Kate Spade is outta control—she has a CD. Granted, it's not by sister-in-law of David Spade herself, but by some (probably fabricated) UK band called "Beaumont" (quotes hers). Why is this necessary??


• More crazy: trade beer for a Crumpler bag.


• Had the misfortune of seeing the DaVinci code. As the trusty Onion AV Club said, "It's destined to make a mint solely by catering to non-readers' curiosity about all the fuss... Howard's glossy version is designed to be taken only slightly more seriously than National Treasure." I had to laugh at that—I loathe Nicolas Cage and yet I enjoyed National Treasure for the big stupid elementary school civics ride of moviemaking disaster that it was. The DaVinci Code, however, failed to entertain on any level. Meanwhile, Gizmodo grumbles about why the GPS in the bar of soap is bollocks.


• Again, why??? The iPod Concerto table


• And again, call me a sucker but this is frickin' awesome (and would have made summer camp a bit more interesting): transparent canoe


• You can camp in Central Park... who knew?


• A nice little eco-disaster video for us all: Humans



• 
  Find your own pose! (I know... wtf??)



• Lestat the Musical is closing. I had no idea it existed in the first place, but the weird little kid deep inside me who went through a vampire phase (and—briefly, in the warped era that was the cusp of the 80s and early years of the 90s—admits to reading Anne Rice) is kind of sad to see it go.


• Um, track yourself online... These things creep me out. I'll just let the government keep doing it for me, thanks.


• If you're going to wear a band-aid, wear a cool band-aid.


• Hey, was the Movie Binge project tailor made for me, or what!?! I kinda sorta really want to do this, only I don't want to waste all that cash (even I have better things to do with $850 this summer).
