this chinese tanker ship crashed into the great barrier reef, and got stuck. over the course of 10 days, the tanker smashed two miles worth of the reef, destroying marine life and spilling oil and other toxic substances into the ecosystem.

ecologists project it will take the reef 20 years to return to its previous state of development.

thanks for the tip melissa. the chinese need to be more careful with their boats.

jealous?

governor's island plan by west 8.

The plan, by Adriaan Geuze of the Dutch landscape architecture firm West 8, calls for a park that, if realized, will eventually include a cluster of steep, artificially created hills that form a focal point at the park’s center, visually tying it back to the city. Its wildly original array of parkscapes — including a “hammock grove,” a grottolike shelter, playing fields and marshlands — will give the island the kind of strong identity it currently lacks. When considered with Michael Van Valkenburgh’s Brooklyn Bridge Park, under construction across the harbor in Brooklyn, it represents a shift in the character of the city’s park system as a whole that is as revolutionary as Robert Moses’ early public works projects or Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux’s Central Park.

this is better than anything on their new album.

now that's news.

Glitch-punk duo Crystal Castles are primed to release their second album on June 7 in Europe and June 8 in North America via Fiction. The record is called Crystal Castles-- just like the first one. Not confusing at all. That goth-y photo of a kid standing in a graveyard is the cover. (via)

What are you doing July 9, 2023?

Attending Rachel's 40th Birthday Party at the Pyramid in Memphis, o.c. Last night she decided that she would be looking into how she can save Memphis, and specifically takeover control of the Pyramid. After all, some dudes in Michigan got the Silverdome for a half million dollars. Go ahead and put the party in your goocal, you're all invited. If she gets married before then, there may be another event there, too.
