air miles, terrorists, emo bands, and voyeurism

From Wired: mileage runners find ways to fly cheap, long flights to accumulate air miles. "Of Solomin's five runs to date, one of the more impressive was a trip from San Francisco to Tampa via Los Angeles, San Diego and Washington, then back with connections in D.C., Seattle and Portland. Thanks to his Premier status, he earned double miles for the trip, more 16,000 of them, for just $232."

From Ironic Sans: Terrorist logos. Apparently, if you want people to take your terrorist organization seriously, you need to include guns and/or stars. Or better yet, two crossed guns. Same with emo bands.

One of the things I love about Flickr is that it gives you a chance to peek into other people's houses--albeit, the shots of their houses they think will most impress you. My new design porn is therefore Flickr's Fresh New Spaces pool. And also speaking of design, I am totally lusting after one of these huge 8x13 wall maps--doesn't it seem like something out of a Wes Anderson movie?

Finally, if I was ever home to install firefox add-ons, which I'm not, I would be installing this RSS ticker that updates RSS feeds to your status bar in firefox. Some of us just do not have time to wait for regular RSS feeds--we need a newer, faster instant gratification!

Still no titles for posts. Weird blogger.
