nuclear explosions, 1945-1998

this video is a little longer than the usual drivel i post, but it is still fascinating.
Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto's "1945-1998" is an animated map showing the 2,053 nuclear explosions that took place around the world during the 20th century, from the detonations at Alamogordo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to the tests conducted by India and Pakistan in 1998. via.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee starting wide receiver Gerald Jones has a broken bone in his left hand and could miss at least two or three games.

That would keep out the Volunteers' leading receiver from the past two seasons for games against No. 11 Oregon, No. 4 Florida and UAB.

Jones, who is a senior, led Tennessee (1-0) in a 50-0 win over Tennessee-Martin on Saturday with 86 yards on six catches. He left the field clutching his left hand midway through the third quarter after catching a 37-yard pass from Matt Simms, his longest reception of the game.

Dooley also says wide receiver Denarius Moore is questionable for Oregon on Saturday after suffering a "banged-up ankle," and offensive guard Jerrod Shaw is questionable with a right ankle injury. (via)

the bike song

ive got bikes on the brain today. i found this awesome community bike shop in memphis called revolutions bike shop. it was started as a program to get bikes to underprivileged kids, but now it has grown into a full community embracing shop with bikers of all ages and abilities participating. you have to volunteer for 10 hours, and pay a suggested membership fee of $40 bucks, and then they teach you how to rebuild your own bike to keep. they provide the space and tools, and by the end you know how to make the minor repairs and maintenance to keep your bike on the road. im going to take a bunch of old bikes from the garage down there, and see if i can volunteer and rebuild one for myself. ill let you know how it goes.

A unified theory of New York biking

linked from the article, "Why Do New Yorkers Hate Cyclists." Basically, the idea is that bikes should generally behave more like cars, and pedestrians should be far more aware of bikes on the road.

It is clear that it is possible for bikes, cars, pedestrians, and other modes of transportation to coexist, and it is kind of sick that there aren't better American examples. Why can't we all be a little more Dutch?
