One week until I have to run up this thing at Escape from Alcatraz (assuming I survive the swim).

I love that Last.fm has escaped CBS's clutches and is now independent once again: support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is...

Tried to calm my anxiety about the Escape from Alcatraz swim in two weeks by building a dashboard of the water conditions in San Francisco Bay using available data from NOAA. (I'm not sure it's helping my anxiety but at least it looks cool.)

Ah, yes, New Year’s Day, my favorite Duran Duran song, off of their multi-platinum record, Back in Black. Great job, Spotify.

My favorite time of year: Teton Park Road is open to pedestrians and cyclists, 28 km of car-free bliss.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Proof that I still know how to ride a bike outside.

TIL that an "idiot plot" is "one which is 'kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot', and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case." Anyway, I'm watching "Hijack" on Apple TV.

mfw i’m up at 6 am on a sunday for a hockey game

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Olympics Dog was chasing the motorized camera they have to capture the competitors at the finish line, then decided to chase some competitors instead

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.) finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk. enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...

Doing this challenge called “January” where I try to make it through the whole month of January

Every time I go on a trip, I get to the hotel, turn on the TV, put on AMC, "A Few Good Men" will invariably be on, and I will watch it, every single time. Absolute banger of a movie.
