vol. 17

very sluggish this morning, and not really sure why...

some sites for you:

• read about svein tuft in sunday's ny times -- definitely going to follow him now... pretty interesting story about how he's made it in cycling (well, made it this far, i should say...)
• if you've ever been sucked in to mtv's the real world or any of their other "reality" shows, then you might appreciate this -- heck, you might appreciate it even if you haven't fallen victim to mtv... it's called the district and it's being put out each week by newsweek -- i haven't had the chance to check out week 2's edition yet, but definitely liked the first one
• speaking of mtv and old videos (do they even show videos any more?) -- one of my all time favorites is take on me by aha -- while this isn't exactly new, somebody has been producing "literal versions" of old videos -- another that this same group did was for tears for fears' head over heels -- so you get words to exactly what's going on in the video itself -- pretty cool... (unfortunately, more and more imitators are coming out with their own -- and i've yet to see one that's been done as well as these two...)
