• 14:02 @skipp seeing "arcade fire" and "nostalgic" in the same sentence makes me feel like an old lady. #
• 14:19 @skipp i know... :) i don't apply the term "nostalgia" to anything under 4 or 5 years ago, though, and that's when i heard arcade fire. #

Paul and Storm and Jonathan Coulton are playing in Chicago on Saturday, February 28, at the Park West.

i am going. does anyone else want to go with me and enjoy a geeky night of music and...geekiness?

it's not news, it's chicagotribune.com

i saw this on the front page of chicagotribune.com today:



WHY IS THIS NEWS????? this is a large public statue in a large public place. large public statues in large public places get vandalized. it doesn't matter how many cops the city schedules to walk around that pointless eyesore instead of to address real crime. things to which the public has access will be vandalized from time to time. it's not front page news--it's something for parks and recreation to deal with in the normal course of business.

stepping into bubble gum. worse.

christoph niemann's lego renditions of various new york-y things are whimsical and brilliant.

musings on kirk cameron

more proof that i have weird friends:

shaph: do trivia tonight

me: i can't. i have a hackerspace meeting.
7-9pm

shaph: bah
!k nicolle

me: sorry, this isn't irc ;-)
you don't have ops here
i'd probably get a nice swift !k in the ass if i missed the meeting tonight, though

shaph: you're getting a !k in the ass when you get home then
i learned that improves relationships from "Fireproof"

me: who died and made you Kirk Cameron?

shaph: ... kirk cameron
obviously

[for all of you who do not spend entirely too much time on internet relay chat, !k is the command (on some irc clients) that a room operator can use to kick someone out of a chat room.]
