In New York, at the Roxy, circa 1990. Go-go boys, thumping music. Supermodels Linda Evangelista and Tatjana Patitz are canoodling on a swing over the dance floor. Camera pans to the VIP room in the back.

"College students are only one unmeasured viewer group of many for networks like ESPN, which is often the default channel in restaurants and bars. Nielsen does not currently measure such group viewing..."

"...we value their contributions to the neighborhood but will not tolerate watching unnatural and disturbing behavior." Like smoochin'. Buh. Asswipe.

Assorted bookmarks and braindumps
- Battlestar Galactica icons from Iconfactory. Bring on the Cylonicons! (Of course, I guess they'd just look like regular icons now anyway.)
- Leapin' kitties! (Can a Toyota deal be far behind?)
- First look at an impressive QuarkXPress 7. I have a little trouble associating the words "impressive" and "Quark" these days.
- As such things go, the blog set up to build buzz for the movie Rent is pretty well-done.
- Movable Type wonkery: Random page banners, yearly archives, RSS customizations and custom static pages.

Bits ‘n’ pieces
Noticed, read, bookmarked, feeds added and whatnot over the past week or so:- Photo gallery: New York nightlife in the 1970s
- Flickr sets: Retro arcade photos and arcade tokens (I used to have quite the collection myself!) [thanks to Andy for the pointers]
- Photoblog: Malls of America
- The Lady Rebecca Blood points out The Artful Manager, a weblog about life, the universe and arts administration.
- Popwatch, the new pop culture weblog from Entertainment Weekly
- A profile of Edna Buchanan, the always-colorful crime prose queen of the Miami Herald [courtesy badgerific Snarkout]

The slushpile
Aaaaand with all that work, I've little time to do more than consume and comment on these sundry links and topics.
- On one hand, we have Michael's Five Modern Uses of the Armpit...
- ...and on the other hand, we count Merlin's Five Subtle Editorial Changes at PBS.
- I've always wanted to do what this fellow did: he rode the entire El system in Chicago. Actually, as a bit of a transit geek, I'd fancy doing that in a lot of cities: the Paris and DC Metro systems, the London Underground, the New York subway. You know, the way some people try to see a game at all of the Major League ballparks? Someday. Someday.
- Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford: You've got to find what you love.
- Hey, that's my job. Well, part of it anyway. Paul Graham on Public Relations, a good read.
- Dori is right (and how often I say that!). This is the coolest browser feature I don't have, but could really use right now. I guess I have to install Safari Stand.
- More Safari goodness: Safari Tips and Pimp My Safari.
- Damien points out this cache of classic Macintosh games. As the kids say, "w00t!"
- How to fold a fitted sheet (I got this, like all of my folding tips, from Dan)
And that's a full lid. Everything else I've got bookmarked—oy, it's a lot!—deserves more deliberate commentary. Stay tuned.

Linkies! Get yer linkies here!
A few things I've noticed, read, bookmarked or found otherwise of interest in the past week or so...- Sidenote, an OS X Stickies replacement. [praise be to Snarkout]
- bigmuscle.com: Adam Grey—Oh me. Oh my. Oh...WOOF! [caution for timid browsers: naked guy]
- Beta test the new Dew
- Use Tiger Automator to set folder views forever. [Creative Guy is an all-around good read]
- Make a custom RSS screensaver using Tiger XCode tools.
- Why we shouldn't pay that much attention to box office gross [thank ye Jason]
- MacWorld: Ejecting DVDs in external drives
- Neon signs along Wilshire Boulevard (and other places in Los Angeles). A collection of photographs, part of a larger website dedicated to public art in LA. Also: MONA, the Museum of Neon Art. (Metafilter discussion here)
- Everything You Thought You Knew About Grilling is Wrong. Huh. So it is. [DanSays the darnedest things]
- Once almighty arbiters of American taste, critics find their power at ebb tide. Is it a dark time for the arts, or the dawn of a new age? [thanks to the lovely and talented Kris]
- As if I didn't have enough puppy lust already. Now I need a new canine companion just so I can buy this. I already have one to match. [via Lance Arthur's Conspicuous Consumption, where else?]
- Mail Factory—better labels from Address Book and/or Eudora.

Clearing the Cache: May 14, 2002
CLEARING THE CACHE: A few things that I need to offload from my bookmarks into permanent storage here in The BradLands.- St. Louis Wireless: Not much going on here as yet, but this may become a valuable resource as more WiFi nodes open up.
- OutSports: Gay athletes, and athletics from a queer perspective. Special bonus: Pictures, pictures, pictures.
- How to make your own Imperial Stormtrooper costume because, you know, Hallowe'en is just a few months away.
- The Professor John Frink File: Glavin! Stop with the linking and the pinging and the hurting! Mm-hai!
- Rhode Island Is Famous For You: The lyrics to my favorite state song that's not actually an official state song. I once sang this to win a bet.
- You can order Vans shoes, a long-ago staple of my wardrobe, online.
- CNDB.com: The Celebrity Nudity Database. Because, you see, you can look up anything on the web.
- Mac Merch: You could buy me just about anything on this page for my birthday, if you'd like, and I'd be awfully pleased. I guess I missed my chance to buy one of these "Moof!" shirts, but I'd settle for this one. (Not for $40, but still...)
- TrailerVision: Trailers for movies that don't exist.
- Back in the old days (just before the turn of the century), trying to catch a one-minute interval between updates on Blogger-powered weblogs was a big deal pastime. We were all so young.
