Raed in the Middle | Metafilter leads to a membership invites to the Iraqi posse. Which I must say sounds interesting.

Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation: Oh, OK. I’ll give it a shot, while I’m tinkering with another site. Not that I’m actually linking to anything.
After all, what fun is debugging unless you pile on the untested variables?
Hm…
JLB en Indiana
Borges in Indiana, by Michael Martone, is called to my attention by AZ, and rightfully so.
The piece is full of era-specific detail. But did Borges ever visit my hometown?
Esta verdad. En 1976, se parece. Y otra vez alrededor 1979-1980, probablemente.
Magical, real news.
Hot Bug
I had a much longer entry here but Safari ate it when I tried to post the cool drawing I found today. The drawing is signed ‘2004 – clare.’
The longer entry gave thumbs up to the new falafel joint across from the Market on Broadway, along with sundry other things that fell in my eye today as I hurried around the Hill doing errands.
Wait!

White boxes
Capitol Hill sports new guerrilla art: The story says that these sculptures appeared ‘last week.’ I’m pretty sure they appeared between 8pm an 11pm Sunday night, since they were not in the street when I walked to Thanh Bros at 8 but were there when I went home at about 11. I guess it’s possible I walked by them without noticing, but I kinda doubt that they were there ‘all week,’ as the story describes.
On the other hand, there were grafittied and one had a broken arm when I saw them last night, so who knows.
Dead crow update
West Nile Virus may be the crow killer. Reporting is encouraged.
Heck yeah I will!
Dear God Damn Diary’s Polkapalooza, for a limited time only.
But did B^2 know about Weird Al’s tragic loss? You know, I always thought Frankie was Al’s pop. I was certainly mistaken.
April in the center of the universe
A sunny afternoon in Fremont. I hear we got up to 80 degrees.
There were frites, and art, and hats. And clocks made out of hard drives.
Also, a dead crow.
Later, pho. Whilst pho-ing, I saw a SARS Chicken sticker that was peeling away from it’s placement, so I gave it a good home.

Sars Chicken is not being subservient. Does he have a distinctive legbanding pattern?
