Daily View, 7/17

• Gothamist tells you how to get cheap movie tickets in July (wake up early).


• Hmmm, a social network built around life stories?? Possibly cool... possibly a big crazy mess.


• Jean-Michel Cousteau rides a great white shark!!!!! (I woulda been a great Cousteau.... sigh)


• Cool. Rent hybrids.


• Gothamist (again... love them!) remarks on the bevy of assistive transportation applications online. Because we New Yorkers can't just go anywhere, we have to map it out first. Hey, I do it too—this is a tangled urban jungle of pathways.


• Artifical Intelligence is 50 years old! I agree, someday people will look back on us and laugh openly at the X-Files. And I will shake my cane and rasp out, "Ha ha ha!"


• Good LORD, I think my little heart will actually burst if I see The Prestige—Jackman AND Bale... AND Bowie... as Nicola TESLA!! What a potentially awesome ride. Shame about Scarlett Johanssen, though (worst of it is, sounds like she's attempting an accent. Ouch!).
