It's nice to finally get some real winter weather for once. This afternoon I will brave the possibly delay-ridden metro to go visit my parents for my father's birthday.

in other news, I've got some old links I've been meaning to post:

An interview with the recently eliminated nick verreos from project runway.

aerial photos made to look like scale model photos. this is via kottke.org, and somewhere someone found a flickr set about these but I don't have the link.

an article that says, more or less,that the older a book is, the less likely it is to be read, even in the case of those books which had been bestsellers in their day. I forget where this link is from.

there was an interesting article in a recent new yorker about the original creator of mary poppins and the disneyfication of mary poppins. What an enjoyable read, I thought, after I finished the article. Perhaps the reason why it was so good is that relied a little too heavily on the work done by someone else. ironically, I forget where I saw this link also, but I'm going to guess I saw it at medianews.
