Only a day late. There’s been so much content to the dome lately, Sunday links might not be as necessary but I feel like I have picked out a stellar selection of time-wasters, even if it is now Monday so you probably won’t click on any of them until Thursday around 3:00pm.
Anyhow, I would’ve written these up yesterday but I was busy putting the finishing touches on one of the best weekends of sleep-deprived, empty stomach drinking in recent history. It is my sincere hope that we at the Jo-Tel will be able to come together and speak with one voice about the awesomeness of this weekend. In fact, in my opinion, this weekend made Bay 2 Breakers weekend look about as much fun as losing your calculator right before the big math test.
Okay, I take that back. But still. All I can say for myself is that I woke up on Sunday with a heart shaved into my chest hair, and I was 100% okay with it.
But more on that later. Here are some links.
From the Chicago Tribune, a great interview with Jordan.
From Newsweek, an interesting story on Muslim punk rockers. The photographs are all by my friend Kim.
From Scienceblogs, a story about a guy who did inter-species transplants. It’s just funny to think that there was a time where the transplant of a monkey testical into a human was seen as a cutting-edge breakthrough in medicine. People from the past are pretty stupid.
Here in the present, doctors seem to have their shit together in a lot of ways.
Here’s something Pliska found in the “Holy Shit” section of the local paper. Sleeping homeless dude run over by a highway brush cutter.
So that guy is dead. But this guy is alive. Man wakes up after being in a coma for 19 years.
From Deena, finally, after 300 years of existence, a reason to visit Pittsburgh.
Richest man in India building a 60-floor house. Finally!
And from Pitchfork, a pretty entertaining take on the genius of R. Kelly. In case you haven’t heard me say it, his new album is pretty great, but this dude does a way better job of explaining why. “For Double Up, the weatherman has, as usual, forecast an album of unending sexaphors.”

The key is in the delivery: the right dose of sincerity will temper any amount of the absurd.
– my favorite explanation from the article writer…though I feel simply listening to R. Kelly, that statement is true, without needing to even state it for it to become true. Making me wonder, are white people superfluous? Assuming the Pitchfork writer is white…or, to safeguard, critics are superfluous b/c what has been Spoken doesn’t need to be described.
I still have to sit down and listen to this album.
