Who thinks this about anything?

Catching up with some of my rss feeds found this nice little photo over at Flora Douvillea blog about Parisian Life:

Reminded me of a photo I took a few weeks ago at Coney Island:

A sort of visual association game Brooklyn’s answer to Paris but what’s interesting is the comparions go deeper. That wire structure towering outside the Brooklyn Cyclone’s MCU Park has, according to wikipedia, been named the Eiffel tower of Brooklyn. The comparions between Brooklyn USA and Paris FR go further as well. Grand Army Plaza

is also called Brooklyn’s Arc de Triomphe. What’s with the overlap? To my knowledge Manhattan doesn’t look for such parity. If it means beautiful structures to pretty up the place I guess I’ll take it.

My friend Kim put together this dizzying but fun video of NYC life told through her feet and stairs. I’ve been thinking recently about life as a New Yorker with all the summer visitors and what I can say is that Kim you are not alone, the amount of stairs in our life is astounding and fascinating.

Really neat visualization technique to communicate a complex subject.

Popped Culture: Curious George Learns a Hard Lesson About Desire [Video]

I downloaded Chrome some time last week and have so far been happy with the results. Very fast browser. I know it’s still new and all but I have run in to a few problems.

The following one I find a little bit hilarious:

Cool video…
