Some time ago I got rid of my sidelinks while trying to see if my site would look better on Explorer. No such luck and I have yet to reset the links.
You all are loved and will be linked to again.

"A Meditation on The Speed Limit Around the Perimeter:" Amazing Video
"55 is too slow for anyone in Atlanta."
Truer words have not been spoken. But if people drove the posted speed limit, what would it look like?
It would look like the movie (found here at Google Video) that was made by some local Atlanta hooligans who drove the posted speed limit on all 4 lanes of the perimeter (main loop of highway around the metro area.) Along with footage of the actual event, pre-drive video has the participants talking about the inanity of the speed limits. Watch and enjoy, this is low-level civil disobedience at it's best.

Motel Palmont: Now Gone
I heard on NPR last night that the Palamont Motor Lodge was getting torn down, and today I managed briefly to stop by and see for myself. I first saw the motel in October and once again in Brook Novak's pictures.
Now it looks to be cleared in an effort to develop Sweet Auburn.

Instead of What I Should Be Blogging About: Bad Back = World Travel
One of the easiest work days left me with an aching back. The Arlo Guthrie show on the 18th was a piece of cake: he had minimal music gear, no props, no hanging elements, nada. That left me operating the spotlight for all of two minutes, and then the rest of the show was just watching. After packing up all his gear, it was home for a night in with the sweetie.
Next morning, backache like I haven't had in ages. That was 3 days ago and its just getting better. So while I was living in the bedroom, trying not to move, I started working with Google Earth. Here's a saying that was posted on their BBS...
"Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to use Google Earth and the BBS and he won't bother you for months, if ever, again." - Mighty Pete
So freaking true. I'm in love with swooping through the globe, zooming in and out at various places, and compiling different folders with places of interest. It started out just fine... and then got a little weird...
The folders...
- Friends and Family (well, that's okay)
- Atlanta Arts and Culture (in hopes of posting a list/maps of local places of interest)
- Las Vegas (for when friends visit)
- Rob's List of Places of Interest (mostly places in Ireland, England and France that have been visited)
- Roadside Attraction, Etc... (an increasingly bizarre list, with an eye towards roadtrips from Atlanta)
- Conspiracy Theory Places of Interest (okay, let me explain)
... there are a myriad of conspiracy theories: from alien abduction, various paranormal happening and the machinations of secret societies. The New World Order is major topic with the U.N. takeover of the country, suspension of civil liberties and the creation of internment camps on American soil. Lists of secret bases and concentration camps are circulated on the Internet as proof of sinister happenings. What better way to see what's up then with medium-res satellite imagery.
Now on my map...
Mount Weather - an unacknowledged Continuity of Government (COG) facility operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Completed in 1958, the underground bunker includes a hospital, crematorium, dining and recreation areas, sleeping quarters, reservoirs of drinking and cooling water, an emergency power plant, and a radio and television studio which is part of the Emergency Broadcasting System.
* A supposed concentration camp in El Reno, CA. Cleverly disguised as a water treatment facility.
* A supposed internment camp in the Desoto National Forest of Mississippi. (Infowars Exclusive -- Detention/Training Camps)
* Supposed Fairbanks Mental Institute/Prison - "Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people." (AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS)
So far, kooky conspiricist aren't doing very well in the fact-checking department. Crazy that!
My back is much better now, and soon it will be back to work. And that means that I will have to actually stop playing on the computer. For at least one day.

Communicating Through Design: Oliver Byrne, 1847 Style
Visual learning is my thing, I wrap my head around things better when I can see them. Way back when, a mathematician named Oliver Byrnes created a version of Euclid's "Elements."
Euclid's book was to clarify and codify the understanding of geometry. Byrne's edition of Euclid was an attempt to further the clarification by adding color. It was an attempt of explaining by design.
All of Byrne's version has been digitized and can be viewed online.
Knowing that a child of mine will be learning geometry in the future, I look to this book as an option to learn in a different way. That's why the whole book is living on my computer.

Pointless Post Powered By Google: Stephen Colbert's Childhood Home
In his interview, Stehpen Colbert said that he grew up in James Island, South Carolina... on Willow Lake Road.
Thanks to the internet, here's the map. If he gave a street number, well, that would have been just weird.
Billions in technology infrastructure investment to find a satellite map of the street a comedian grew up on.

For Your Bettermentness: Stephen Colbert Interview
Salon posted an article about Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, and links to SF Gate's downloadable interview with the man.
From Salon, "Stephen Colbert, as most people know him, is the host of "The Colbert Report," the hilariously deadly satire of cable news talk shows. He is also, less famously, the youngest of 11 children from a dirt road in James Island, S.C., a former philosophy student at the ultraconservative, men-only Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and a practicing Roman Catholic. Between his deadpan comic persona and unusual life story, Colbert makes for a great interview."

Post-Work Post & Miscellaneous Idiocy
My work schedule is ending tonight after a long week and even longer two days at the Ferst Center:
Saturday 8am - 2:30am (14.5 hours worked) Bocca Tango
Sunday 9am-10pm (11 hours worked) Aquila Theatre Company's Hamlet
It is good to see well-done dance and theater to be reminded that they actually merit the attention they often get. The Booca Tango group was Argentinian tango. Beautiful dancing, live backing band. As a person who never felt dancing expressed anything in me more then a severe-whitness problem, I never search out dance for entertainment. But this was great.
Being that I was never an actor, nor incline to be dramatic, I never went to drama on stage. So, seeing Hamlet performed was a bit of a revelation. But being on the side of the stage instead of in front makes a difference, so I didn't get the full impact. But hearing and seeing the language live gave me better insight as to why I should care about William S.
Now that I am on a brief work hiatus, I'm looking forward to some chill time.
And know for something completely different...

Atlanta of Old: Panoramic Maps 1871, 1892, and 1919
I've loved the American Memory site from the Library of Congress for years , and NO!... that's not sad!
The following images of Atlanta come from the Panoramic Maps Collection. The collection includes cities from all over the country and the maps combine landmarks, streets and geography in a slanted perspective. As you will see the images go from broad overviews to highly magnified details of specific areas. The specialized .SID file type used by the Library of Congress allows to zoom in and out, and the maps are captured beautifully. For those inclined, links to Windows and OS X .SID viewers can be found here
Birds eye view of the city of Atlanta, the capitol of Georgia 1871. Drawn & published by A. Ruger.
Note the two railroad round houses (top left lower right) they will be pictured in another map below.
Bird's eye view of Atlanta, Fulton Co., State capital, Georgia. Drawn by Aug. Koch. Hughes Litho. Co. c1892
Here the area's around the roundhouses (top left lower right) have been developed, with the addition of the capital building.
My neighborhood, a little changed.
Oakland Cemetery
Foote and Davies Company (Atlanta, Ga.) c1919

Under Where?... Underground Underwear
I've found the underwear I want to give my anglophile wife for Valentine's, but hardcore-googling of the internet is not giving me hope.
So, anyone that can help me find this London Underground Map underwear pictured in this not-work-safe post from Sexy UK Girl will have my appreciation.

Tick Tock, Crazy Clocks
I love when there is an intersection of function and art in machines. Three examples, from 1410, the 1870's and one from 1999.
First, is the Orloj Astronomical Clock in Prague.
Secondly, The Historic Engle Clock at The National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, PA.
And lastly, The 10,000 Year Clock from the The Long Now Foundation
"The idea to build a monument scale, multi-millennial, all mechanical clock as an icon to long term thinking came from computer scientist Danny Hillis..."

Fat Asian Baby's comment (see comments section) got me hunting for the Strausbourg Astronomical Clock.

Food That Will Kill You!.. Right Here in Atlanta
When I was a kid, I would come home from school and sometimes make;
A peanut butter, potato-chip, dill pickle and apple jelly sandwich,
and a glass of half Pepsi/chocolate milk.
Yummm!
Now that I am an adult, I knew I had to change my eating habits. So, when I heard of the Luther Burger, I had to investigate. Luckily for me, I hit paydirt in Atlanta.
First stop, Mulligan's (Google Map), home of the Luther and the Hamdog.
The Luther was the creation of singer Luther Vandross, who when found his kitchen lacking hamburger buns, used donuts instead. Mulligan's started serving Vandross' creation to the people as a public service, and there was much rejoicing. If you have recently watched the The Boondocks on Cartoon Network, the Luther was featured in the Granddad's soulfood restaurant.
The Luther picture above comes from the Texas Burger Guy's Luther Burger and Hamdog Pictures!!!!! post. The site is loaded with burger joint reviews and pictures from around the country.
Mulligan's second contribution was the Hamdog.
The picture says it all. The helpful diagram come from the absolutely Not-Safe-For-Work! site Consumption Junction. Seriously. NWS.
Moving away from Mulligan's, is Ann's Snack Bar, home of the Ghetto Burger.
Ann's is good food served with a heavy hand. She takes no lip and you better know what you want or you will be out on you ass with no food. There 's a list of rules on the wall that are not to be broken. Think I'm joking. here's one review on Citysearch...
"I recently had surgery on my back and couldn't sit down, and all Ann could say was read the rule sign and you should have gone to a place where you could standup. I will never go there again and I will advise all my friends never to go there either."
So, either be ready to take any order given or don't go to Ann's.
So, if anyone local is itching to hit these spots, I'm looking for company to join me. Drop me a line and be ready to push the wheelchair.

State of the Union: No Real Thoughts, Just a Picture
While at work last night, a bunch of us crowded into an office to hear what GWB had to say. As John Stewart has said about him, "he has no doubt in his mind," about anything. I'm inclined to track down his speech just to see what he had written for him.
