Welcome to the Future
Much to my co-worker’s amusement, whenever we talk about our ideal car, I mention I really want a jet pack. Well, this isn’t the Bell X-1 or anything, but, it looks awesome. And at only $30k, not that expensive (for aircraft).

This is very odd. While we were walking home from the O’s game, Ann and I saw this sign. At first, I didn’t think anything of it, maybe it was part of Baltimore’s new Get In on It campaign. After looking at it, I’m guessing its some sort of experiential art project.
Here’s what it says:
Interstate
Interface
Mon - Sun 3pm
Face this direction
and I will face you
so we may share a
moment together
Send a photo with its date to interstateinterface@gmail.com
and I will send you one in return
Very odd. See the other sign posting for continuing oddities.
Location: 500 or so steps from the SE Corner of Light and Pratt before you cross to the Harborplace side.

Another (I’m guessing) art project sign designed to blend in with the surroundings. This one is an illustration showing the “Hypothetical Urban Wind Turbulences” at an intersection. The grey in the picture is typography that says things like sneezing, hyperventilation, coughing.
I’d like to find more of these signs to document them.
Location: About 520 steps from the SE Corner of Light st and Pratt St on the Harborplace side.

“The huge success of the summer movie sequel “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” underscores the subject’s broad romantic appeal. But the subculture emerged long before the original movie in July 2003, with some experts dating the trend back to the mid- to late-1990s.”
Um…I was in to it way before then. Like back during Voyage of the Mimi.

A perfect day for sailing…it’s a shame it wasn’t a perfect day for not-putting-your-finger-in-the-picture.

Many girls say they have the best guy ever. I do. I really do. If you know of a better guy than Greg Walsh then I challenge you. Prove it. If he really is better I will buy you a milk shake at Mcy D’s. True that. And Challah to MK in UK!

From the “I’m not angry, just disappointed” file as written by HJC:
I had a little run-in with one of my neighbors.. Apparently, 1 Lemoncello Martini + a couple glasses of wine = liquid courage. It was around 10:30…when I saw both of my suspected foul mouthed neighbors that told off Mo, I confronted them and “hey, did you have a discussion with one of my friends who accidentally parked in front of your house on Sunday?” they said that they were frustrated and had missed their nephew’s birthday etc… No cursing was really used in our discussion and they were pretty calm, so I apologized for the confusion with a caveat that I didn’t appreciate the way it was handled, especially the language. I told them that next time feel free to knock on doors to find out who’s car it is, they said they had already called the city for a tow, but they were taking forever to get there, so then that pissed me off, welcome to the city assholes, where there are lots of people and lots of cars! It ended with HJ giving them a big disappointment lecture and letting them know that I was ashamed to have them as neighbors, and their behavior was completely unacceptable…They said that I didn’t need to worry about being ashamed of them, but I said I still was.

Yes, the software I use every day and have used everyday for almost 9 years, turned 10. I’m sure Word and Excel are older, but, how many tools let you make a game featuring boxing presedential candidates OR watch a web video on YouTube? Yes, thanks to Flash, I not only can do my job, but can also be inandated with animating ads. Punch the Monkey!
