"The last time Austin’s Fiero competed, in 2007, the car lasted seven laps before its transmission failed."

I love it.

Bloodthirsty Unicorns, The Silent Barn, 9/24/08

We caught their excellent 3 song set out in Bushwick last night, at a "Battle of the Bands". Full Disclosure: This was Jasper's first live show. The verdict? "It was a lot of fun!"

Art? Or....

A bunch of these photos were on display at the Kunstmuseum in Zurich. I thought it was the most clever thing in the whole museum- pictures of people clearly not of Swiss origin in Swiss folkloric costumes. It turns out the display was not an installation at all, but an advertisement for a photo studio that takes pictures of tourists in Swiss garb. We would have done it if we had had the time: Photo Studio Titlis

Swiss Kitsch

Triangles

Doubtless many of you are familiar with the "triangle of production" whereby the 3 points of the triangle are "good", "fast", and "cheap". The client is told to pick any two.

Now, I think the same thing can apply to food. Specifically I thought of this when I was eating a "Field Roast vegan sausage" the other day. It was really good. And, being vegan, one would assume that it was really healthy. "There must be a catch" I thought. Sure enough, a trip to the bank is required before purchasing these sausages.

So the new triangle would have these three points: "tastes good", "healthy", and "cheap".

Pick any two....
