After all, Coke simply doesn’t have enough caffeine, as we all know.

This appears to be a Coke-branded coffee beverage. Viv pointed out that the swoosh over the “a” must mean that it’s pronounced “Blake.”

In other news, it looks like Vimeo permits post-by-email for video clips. A bit more snooping to locate a reflector for MT and maybe we’re good to go.

I did find this script this morning, but I think it’s abandonware. I like the direct-to-your-host model for this, since I bridle at paying Flickr, and eventually Vimeo, and my back-up email service, $25 bucks each a year to get this stuff running.

Eric at Fanta points out that Penguin is offering some old great stuff in the Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions line with excellent covers by cartoonists of excellence that rivals the works themselves. Chis Ware / Voltaire. Frank Miller / Thomas Pynchon. Etc. What cool idea.

Note to self: stay out of bookstores for the next 18 months.

Echo

It’s weird to be back on the Hill for the first time since the shootings. The Stranger just published their minute by minute account online, and the headlines of both the P-I and the Times banner news of the dead.

Walking by Rainbow Grocery on the way to eat from Group Health, I glanced inside and saw an old acquaintance from Bloomington who worked at Madison Market for many years: he must certainly have known the two young men who also worked there who died in the shooting.

The neighborhood feels like it did after 9/11, and something like it did during WTO, but not excited or argumentative or full of any sort of promise. It’s a shocked and grieving feeling. I have seen half a dozen folks pause and gape at the headlines blaring from the newspaper boxes.
