From now on when I do post random links, I’ll try do so around lunch so that those of you who are bored at your cubicle can have some lunch-time reading.
Check out this site. It’s called WalkScore. You put in your address and it tells you everything within walking distance as well as gives you a score on the “walkability” of your neighborhood. It told me what I already know. That suburbia is SUV heaven and the suburban gods mega-loathe walking. (ht: Wess Daniels)
5 Minutes To Kill Yourself Game - If you’re bored at work, take 5 minutes and try to kill yourself within the confines of your cubicle. It’s actually pretty amusing. Be sure to look for the Pentecostal chick who unleashes snakes on you, the pinata, and be sure to go in the bathroom and upstairs to the boss’s office.
Subversive Blogger Awards - My friend Jake awarded me with a Subversive Blogger Award. I’d like to thank my momma, Jesus, and Rick Rubin. Now I tag Ariah Fine and Corey Hau, for their fine work at flipping the system on end.
Keane Fine has another excellent Moleskin Doodle.
Julie Clawson is one of the best bloggers out there, consistently blogging great content and squeezing in time for podcasts too

Walkscore seems very pessimistic. I was pleasantly surprised to find it worked for England (ah, the power and reach of Google). But my place scored 36 “not walkable”. But I do, daily. I walk to work, past supermarkets and farmers’ markets; past restaurants, bars, and cinemas, libraries, bookshops, church buildings galore, gyms, dozens of clothes stores, the list goes on. Oh, and I can walk past a field with cows in, too, on my 20 minute walk to work.
Ah, the joys of living close to the centre of a close-knit mediaeval town. Oxford is the best place in the world.
i’m jealous and envy you. bringing this up and oxford on top of it is not just leaving a comment. but bragging. i hope you’re happy that i’ll now have city-envy as i go to sleep.
lucky chap.
i’m honored
sorry to have provoked your envy :-). Oxford is a bit of a bragging city, it must be said.
Thanks for the props bro. Am i supposed to “tag” someone now? i never was good at playing games.
