I learned how to use Google Sketchup this weekend in order to make a 3D model of my apartment in preparation for working with an architect someday to renovate.
I’m hooked. I can’t draw well and have avoided 3D design for years, but now Sketchup makes it seem possible for me to do well.

Some jokesters at my alma mater got access to the school’s mailing list and sent out a letter on district stationary recommending parents supply alcohol for prom. “Considering our reputation (Drinkin’ Lincoln), in some cases one fifth is only enough for a single person.” That letterhead has been the same since I started going to school in ‘88.
“Brijit aggregates the world’s best long-form content and abstracts it in 100 words or less, providing busy, omnivorous, and increasingly mobile readers with rich, qualitative summaries as well as better guideposts for what to read, watch or listen to now.”
They pay users $5 to sum up an article and rate between 0 to 3 dots, from ‘not a priority’ to ‘exception, not to be missed’. Always looking to shrink the diameter of my information sinkhole, I’m going to experiment with Brijit in lieu of a few other publications. I’m subsribed to the “Brijit Recommends’ section which culls only the best of the best.

I hope he doesn’t take the easy route and illustrate Indiana as a Chicken McNugget.
