Probably the biggest problem with cars in cities is that they require huge amounts of land for storage (a.k.a. parking). Here is a photo of Midtown Atlanta between 5th street and 12th street. This is one of the densest and most pedestrian-friendly ares in the entire state of Georgia. The red blocks indicate parcels of land that are 100% dedicated to car storage.

And now, a bunch of guys called Miracles of Modern Science cover a Bon Jovi song in the voice of Bon Iver/Justin Vernon.
It’s amazingly well-done and about a minute long, press play.

Lately, I’ve been splitting my time between eating cookies on Delta flights and modeling Final Cut Pro effects for Crumplepop.

“TAHOE JOE’S FAMOUS STEAKHOUSE”
Just when I thought my dream job coming up with ridiculous names for inconsequential things was pure fantasy, I learn that something called “Tahoe Joe’s Famous Steakhouse” exists. Though, its parent company is going bankrupt so perhaps absurd business names aren’t all they are cracked up to be (by me).

A close competitor that also has Minnesota roots is Baja Joe’s. A burger concept opened in an old Don Pablo’s in Columbus, Ohio but the Baja Sol restaurant chain. That didn’t work out either.

The pros: it’s really cheap; the cons: it’s really cheap… (Taken with Instagram at Capitol Airport, Beijing 北京国际机场)
The carpet was ripped on the floor and the plane was LOUD when I flew Aeroflot between Anchorage and Khaborovsk. Apparently, their standards are higher on international flights than domestic.

tripsQ is cool. It’s missing a bunch of my data from Canada and smaller airports in Minnesota (although it did catch a flight I took from Anoka to Duluth), but the overall point: I need to travel more outside of the U.S.
That is cool. Here’s how I ended up with Gold Medallion status on Delta for 2012.
