Mindy wonders if anybody would notice if she took her shoes off at work (in Finnish). In the spirit of scientific exploration, I took my shoes and socks off to check what would happen.

So far it's been 15 minutes, and at least one person went by without saying anything (though she did wonder why I did not want to go to lunch yet.) I will keep you updated.

(Oh yeah, and my coworkers reading this weblog: it does not count if you read it from here first. So nyah.)

30 minutes: I'm feeling a slight chill. I'm trying to wiggle my toes to keep them warm.

60 minutes: Close to an hour. My feet are definitely getting cold. I wonder if there's "email yoga"? (By the way - I have about four Gmail invitations left, so if you want to test drive it, drop me some email.)

100 minutes: I'll now attempt to go to the toilet. Wish me luck.'

102 minutes: back. Nothing.

MTV gets cold feet, or does it? 05/27/2004 06:12 AM
This turns into one of those cases where researching a story gets weirder. The documentary Supe r Size Me centers on a documentary filmmaker's 30 day experience eating nothing but McDonalds. The film is doing amazingly well as a limited release documentary grossing more per screen than high-budget Troy. Here is the weird part, Reuters has picked up on a distributor press release claiming that MTV is refusing to air advertising for Super Size Me because the film is "disparaging to fast-food restaurants". The Reuters short seems to have quite a bit of legs. However a Hollywood Reporter article details MTVs side of the story placing the blame on the film's distributor. Is this really a case of a network getting cold feet? Or is it a case of distributor trying to pull the "too edgy for MTV" moneymaking ploy? And what is with the continually morphing Reuters clip that is just now being tossed onto doorsteps and stuffed into newsboxes across North America? (The film was previously discussed on metafilter back in January.

Thanks to Gnomie Paul Wright for this item. Space agency report is a downer for gravity-control researchers. “Could astronauts take a leaf out of H. G. Wells’s book The First Men in the Moon, and use spacecraft propelled by antigravity devices? Some see the idea as science fiction, but major space agencies take it seriously. In 2001, the European Space Agency (ESA) commissioned two scientists to evaluate schemes for gravity control. They have concluded that,…

Well, okay, I'm not really dressed up... it's my everyday outfit, but I'm still running with it. It's a shifted holiday at my house!

Oh, and the Laughing Librarian just came by my house with his daughter. He's dressed in a safari outfit with a giant snake wrapped around his body. Awesome!

Cambridge SoundWorks Mick Fleetwood
Signature Model Twelve Speakers

Cambridge SoundWorks Mick Fleetwood
Signature Model Twelve Speakers 08/18/2004 08:38 AM

When I go into the local middle- and high-schools each week for my "Gizmodo: Talkin' Teen" heart-to-heart rap session, the number one inquiry I get from the kids during our Q&A is, "Yo, when is Mick Fleetwood going to endorse a set of Cambridge SoundWorks portable speakers?" And I chuckle a little then, and walk over and my put my hand on their shoulder, and try to explain to these mixed up young persons that despite their enduring affection for Fleetwood Mac's seminal 1977 release Rumors, the pressures of Big Media conglomerates have persisted to keep Mick out of the speaker game. Then we all smoke a big doob because I'm down.

But next week, when some young gangbanger inevitably asks me that very same question, I'm going to look them right in the eyes and whisper into the mic, "Today, my young peer. Today."

Cambridge SoundWorks has not mentioned if it is appropriate to call the $400 Mick Fleetwood Signature Model Twelves' included amplifier the "Stevie Mixer," probably because that's sort of lame.
