Well, I was wrong.
It’s not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last.
A while back I thought that CBS Radio might have canned David Lee Roth when he went on a vaction. It was just a weird timing issue since it was right around the time that Roth’s dismal ratings came out. [...]

I noticed this on digg today: A 28-year old autistic man from France has spent the last 22 years creating an imaginary city called Urville.
Not only has he drawn the entire city, he has created its historical, geographical, cultural and economic description.

Rather than taking the subway every morning, I’ve been driving in to work and paying an ungodly amount of money to park downtown. Today, however, I woke up early enough to park at Wellington station.
When I parked, I noticed an older fellow feeding breadcrumbs to the pigeons and seagulls that circle [...]
