5 Things I Love for Friday #80

Originally posted on August 17, 2007

  1. Hyposurface - “A versatile and hyper-effective display medium,” as the site calls it. I really don’t comprehend how it works in full, but the myriad of videos make me drool uncontrollably. I SO wouldn’t go to work if I could have one of these in my house to play with.
  2. The photographic work of Maciej Duczyński - Wonderfully-controlled HDR photographs from this Polish-born artist. I’m not too big on landscape work for some reason, but there are some truly breathtaking works here.
  3. Sweet potatoes - While in Seattle, my friend Ryan cooked dinner for The Wife™ and I at his new home, and sweet potatoes were on the menu. Not sure where these things have been all my life, but these are seriously good eats. With honey butter or some brown sugar and cinnamon they’re to die for. I better watch out that I don’t turn orange with hypercarotenemia.
  4. John Stewart’s post 9/11 introduction - I wasn’t a Daily Show fan back then, so seeing this was a first for me. Humbling, emotional, raw and sincere, Stewart’s remarks here are some of the most real I’ve seen on TV in a landscape of faux-reality atrocities. It’s a shame Fox News called this monologue “sobbing”.
  5. Cool workspaces - I know, I know, I nominated a similar item for FTILFF recently. But I can’t help it, I’m a workspace-design nut. An addict. I’m cuckoo for cool workspaces! Sexy monitors, sleek chairs, enviable computer rigs…mmmmm…

Apparently my hosting provider was feeling as equally under-the-weather as I am, hence the reason for the belated post. Both of us appear to be on the mend.

I too recently discovered I LOVE sweet potatoes... especially on the grill - but not too long or they dry out. AND - get this - they come in colors other than orange! (Or at least they do in California... or else I was in bizzaro world. Always possible.)

The Great Escape

I used to have a hamster named Fuzzy. One day Fuzzy got out of his cage and ran away. Months later he re-emerged in the drain of our utility tub while my mother was doing laundry in the basement. She almost passed out.
