I don't know anything about McSweeney's really, but if you promise me it's sweet and it's got graphic design... then yeah, I'm all over it. I'll go in.

Thanks for the Parkour link dafTone! It's been 3 hours and I'm STILL wasting my time going through parkour/traceur/builderer websites. Awsyeeeaaaah.

speaking of McSweeney's, GIANT ROBOT just got copies of the backissue of McSweeney's Special on Graphic Artists - Taylor are you interested in going half or whatever on ordering a copy?


PS WHEN THE FUCK IS VICE GONNA FINISH THEIR DOS AND DONTS CANADIAN/UK EDITION?

A home on the 'Net for all you traceurs out there.

• Rejection letters from Xavier's School of Exceptional Youth.
  "Dear Sarah "Fan Girl" Williams,
  
  We regret to inform you that you have not been selected as a member of this year's class. Being able to recite, verbatim, the lines from every Orlando Bloom movie, while impressive, is not technically a superpower. Also, the fact that you are prohibited by law from coming within 10 miles of Orlando Bloom might limit our team's scope of service. Thank you for your interest in Xavier's School of Exceptional Youth.
  
  Sincerely,
  Professor X

SockIt2Me.com. Actually, it's got a great fusion of dork and geek as well.

Oh, I'd like to point out that today is the last day that the feds will match your donation for tsunami relief. CBC has a list of the NGOs which are recognized for this (a list which includes the three above.) They've also provided a tally on the international game of one-up-manship going on here (though the Aussies are taking all comers in total and per capita aid.) If only we could make this kind of commitment to the 30+ million dying of AIDS in Africa...

India continues to confuse me with its response to the disaster. They do good things (see mangroves). They do neutral things (not accepting donations), and some pretty terrible things (denying aid based on the ridiculous caste system).

nice, Paras.

so, that guy on the bus last night suggested ZMag.org to us, it's pretty interesting. a lot less fluff than Mother Jones and a lot more substance... interesting.

What was the website that you'd suggested? I can't remember, just that it had a 2 in it.
