After a coworker and I spent some time today discussing the viral marketing campaign surrounding tomorrow’s release of the new Nine Inch Nails album, Year Zero, he mentioned number spirals to me, which led me to discover this fascinating site. Fascinating, at least, if you’re the variety of geek such as myself, constantly manipulating numbers in your head.
Aliens prefer Firefox
Last August, a group of aliens Oregon State University students created a Firefox logo crop circle in a field near Salem, Oregon. The goal? Why, to have it appear on Google Maps, of course!
If you think that’s cool, rather than incredibly geeky, dorky and nerdy (yes, it qualifies as all three), then there’s a shirt for you.

Jazz waltzes, and celebrities with elbows for chins
It all makes sense, sort of. It’s my latest new song, “Waltz for Reese (Elbow Chin),” and an incomplete, rough mix of it is now available on the Highway 34 Revisited album page.
As if it weren’t bad enough that I got beat at Wii Sports bowling by a four-year-old (twice)…
Here’s a robot built out of Legos that bowled a perfect game!
(And, OK, technically my son was still three the first time he beat me.)
