“The books in the first library disappeared within six hours and the plywood shelf within just ten days.” Thus began an amazing project by Architect John Locke and DUB (Department of Urban Betterment) to both utilize existing but unused public space. The reincarnation of the project aaaaDUB002 has survived its initial placement and continues to beckon citizen readers. People...

I spend my weekends removing babies' eyeballs
via boingboing.net What self-indulgent thing do you do? And, yes, this appears to be a REAL thing. Monstrous… and amazing. Watch out, soccer moms and ladies who pram, I’m on the hunt for your baby’s eyes. Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »

Rick Santorum Is Not Healthy For Society
via huffingtonpost.com It’s frankly impossible for me to adequately express my utter disdain for Mr. Santorum. He is a person who will tear down and destroy others in order to further his own repressive, backward agenda. He has chosen to aim his hatred at a historically-oppressed minority in order to gather a coalition of the hateful, ignorant, and needlessly frightened. This, Mr....

Save the Apostrophe! Waterstone's becomes...
via guardian.co.uk The apostrophe is a valuable piece of grammatical real estate my friends. It changes “cant” to “can’t” and “wont” to “won’t.” Apparently, it also changes the name of a bookstore into a Twitter firestorm! I personally couldn’t care less what a business calls itself. I’m opening a boutique shop that...

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas T(r)ea: Caffeinated...
I think this may be my most inspired Christmas decorating feat ever. Now, if you know me and know my feelings about the holidays, you know that it wouldn’t take much to best any of my previous non-efforts. This Christmas is different. Last year, my mom got this iced tea ornament (seen at the top of the tree—who needs angels when there’s caffeine?). But, I didn’t have a...

A gentleman named Farhad Manjoo just posted a proudly contrarian article on Slate explaining why independent bookstores are not only irrelevent but maybe even harmful. I work at an independent bookstore, so that’s an argument I’d be very very curious to see made well. Honestly, I know the failings of small booksellers as well as anyone, and it’d be good to see them articulated. But...
Farhad Manjoo pisses off booksellers everywhere
Out of this entire essay about Mr. Manjoo’s recent article, I found this part to be the most amazing: Just because you’ve never used something correctly Farhad, doesn’t mean it’s broken. “Fresh oranges are cultish compared to frozen orange juice because I have to eat the bitter outside to get to the sweet inside.” No, you don’t. You are doing it wrong.via towirr.tumblr.com Kudos to you,...

Oh, I know you’re saying, “But Todd, we don’t live underwater. There’s no such thing as brinicles on dry land.” Look, don’t you think these starfish thought the same thing. Air. Water....

I found this today on Stevenson street between 6th and 7th. I wonder if she forgave the artist. After all, there are three whole hearts after the plea. Clearly, it’s love. Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
