Really nothing to write about Chief, but as promised an entry nonetheless. I've sent the links below to most people already but I suppose they as a collective are worthy of a post.

Seems like all the driving events really dried up this year. But at least one of the top two is still around. Lexus got rid of the NJ location and replaced it with a second NY location. Sign up here.

Early bird gets the worm as the saying goes. But have you ever heard of an insect getting the best of a bird? Check out these gruesome photos of a praying mantis dining on a hummingbird.

Will the real Peter Griffin please stand up? A yearbook photo of someone who bears an amazing resemblance to the father that makes Homer Simpson look like a genius. Now is Stewie gay or no?

A client in Taipei sent this over to my boss, Mark. A video of how crammed people get in the subways of Japan. This was brought up when I was explaining to Nancy why I preferred to come into the office early. Aside from looking bad coming in an hour later than everyone else, I don't like to deal with crammed subway cars. Anyway at least we don't have people in white gloves shoving us into the cars. I like how that one guy tries to thread himself in before the pushers come around.

And now something for the Jammer. an aerospace engineer applied music to improve airflow on the wings of aircraft making flight at slower speeds more efficient and safe. Apparently the idea has been around for a while.

I will reserve passing judgement on the NY Giants until after the preseason is over... Looking for a Noguchi coffee table. Any leads towards cheap prices let me know!

Update: Got the Noguchi off eBay for half the price Design Within Reach listed. There was one cheaper auction, but with only 3 feedbacks I figured I'd pay the extra money to buy from a seller with over a 1,000 feedbacks.
