1. sometimes life has a way of hitting you in the face with a sack filled with a building’s worth of bricks

    my uncle, Patrick Casey, has passed.

    he had been fighting goodpasture’s syndrome for more than a year, but his health had been moving in the positive direction. nothing but good news.

    until my dad just called me over to sit with him and he told me the news.

    and now we are just here.

    and i’m just fighting through tears trying to write this down.

    postscript: he was loved by many and will be missed by them all. I visited him frequently this past winter. I want to see him again.

    I wish I could live through this without blogging about it, like a normal person or something.

  2. Thanks again to Elijah aka HalfMandrill.tumblr.com for reminding me about the true source for Punch Somebody Music: the Mash Out Posse.

  5. Capital: Dear media, please call it rape →

    jessicavalenti:

    Greg Kelly, son of NYC police commissioner Raymond Kelly and co-host of “Good Day New York” on Fox 5, is being investigated for sexually assaulting a woman. Yet the headline that just came up in my news feed was this:

    The media needs to call sexual assault what it…

    A lot of things to unpack here. Not the least of which that mental midget Greg Kelly is the son of Supercop himself Ray Kelly?? How the hell …

    but yes, agreeing with Capital: rape is rape is rape. 

  6. that’s how it starts

    Emmy C. posted a stereoscopic GIF earlier today, and I thought I’d take a shot at it since it looked really cool.

    Well, it turned out a lot harder than it looked, and I stopped, and saved it as a flat image instead. The original test GIF and colour test images are included there, too, from before I started flailing my arms frantically in the air for an hour.

  10. Preparation

    It’s the most you can do. Taking stock of what needs to be done. Acknowledging what’s possible from here. A script.

    [Crank on all of that. Do it, but don’t linger. Get that done because revision is where many of us find the magic, and I’m not even getting to that here. And revision takes time, which needs to be allotted, set aside.]

    The better all that is, the more likely Action and Focus can meet their definitions, instead of the words you use in your regrets.

    Mitt Romney, roughed up (in magazine form): Looks like magazines can’t help but to make Mitt’s metaphorical black eyes real. Left: A rejected Bloomberg Businessweek cover from about two weeks ago. Right: This week’s New York Magazine cover. (Thanks BuzzFeed for tipping us off to the former.)

    Here are statements from both Businessweek and New York Magazine about the covers.

    NYMag’s first must-pay-attention-to-cover in a while, and maybe it’s a rip off of a rejected BloomWeek. Interesting. 

    but where oh where is the SOPA/PIPA/ANONYMOUS/MEGAUPLOAD cover that I demand!

  14. How many years did Joe Paterno stay silent for? That amount divided by a billion is the #TooSoon limitation. So like a few hours.

  15. Listen to Episode 3 of Wins + Losses, my podcast with Collin. →

    I don’t know if I’ve been over promoting this or not. But hey there people. Episode 3 is about 37 minutes long, and pretty good. We’re getting better and better at this.
