Read about a very unusual cafe in Japan.

It is a fairly short story, and Cabel is a good writer, but be sure you stick with it until he doesn’t quite get what he ordered at the cafe. After this: the sublime begins.

Pepe the King Prawn

Pepe has written a book, It’s Hard Out Here for a Shrimp. The number of awesome things here is making my head hurt. There is a muppet wiki? A four armed muppet with street cred?

Via the equally wonderful blog: mimi smartypants.

Any of theses links should be totally day making, if your heart is not totally hardened.

Landnámabók

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:57:48 -0600

Landnámabók:

Landnámabók (meaning “The Book of Settlement”) is a medieval Icelandic manuscript describing in considerable detail the settlement (“landnám”) of Iceland by the Norse in the 9th and 10th century A.D. It begins with Ingólfur Arnarson’s original settlement in Reykjavík and his claims on land to the north, west, east and south.

Stangely the book barely mentions elves, fairies, or time travleling polar bears.

“From orbit: Getting ready for bed, sleeping in space is cool, tie down your sleeping bag and float inside of it, very relaxing”

- Astronaut Mike Massimino (Astro_Mike) tweeting about sleeping in space.
Tweeting from space. I may not have my flying car or jet pack yet, but this feels like the future.
