You know I love walking and Seattle and Walking Seattle. So I support “Stairway Walks Day” this Saturday.
There’s something called “The HUB in Seattle.” It’s a new corporate meeting center in the old Masins furniture store in Pioneer Square. Whoever gave it that name can’t possibly be a UW alum.
It is possible for a downtown parking garage to lose money. Especially, apparently, when it’s City-owned.
Reviews of the Super Blackout Bowl range from the usual rants by sports-hating hippies to the usual highlight-hype. Will Leitch, though, has a good piece aboutÂ CBS’s announcers and their failure in the face of daunting circumstances.
Was Ed Koch gay? We still don’t know for sure.
Mother Jones has a vast, yet probably still incomplete, chart of looney Obama conspiracy theories.
“Freaky” body modifications should not be done without sterile instruments and the supervision of trained professionals. This includes implanting dice in one’s penis, an apparent fad among Australian prisoners.
MySpace’s latest site redesign seems to have evaporated members’ fan lists. The company’s final, fatal mistake?
Imagine “Super WiFi,” available nationwide (even in Eastern Washington?), offering beyond-broadband speeds and fancy new services, open to the general public, for free. Some Federal officials believe this is possible, for a modest investment, over existing FCC-controlled bandwidth.
