    Until a recent episode of 99% Invisible, I had no idea that You Are Listening To had a numbers station child site. But it does. And it’s pretty amazing.

    I’ll go ahead and spare you from my amateur synopsis of numbers stations. Instead, load up You are listening to Numbers Stations in a new tab and spend a little quality time with the Wikipedia page in another one. Once you’ve worked through that, there’s also the resources over at The Conet Project.

    Sorry in advance if this manages to make you into a crazy person.

  • The Kitten Covers

    Cat Flag, "Damaged"

    Alright, The Kitten Covers… You win this round.

    Also, this site has been a thing since 2011? How have I not managed to hear about it before today? I must be getting bad at using the internets.

  • Hello

    I’m just going to go ahead and leave this here. You should probably watch it when you have a minute… (Thanks Sarah!)

  • Lighten Up

    I understand putting a little milk in one’s coffee — but “lightener” just sounds nasty.

  • Dark Knight PSA: Herpes

    If you only watch one video out of the Dark Knight PSA series on YouTube, make it this one.

  • Boba Fett = Pimp

    Every so often I feel like I miss out by not making the trek down to Comic-Con. This is one of those times.

  • Vern Fonk

    I find that one word sums these commercials up better than anything else: Shipoopi!

  • Bad Gas

    It’s gas prices like these (spotted last night on the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin in Hollywood) that make me really glad that I take the Red Line to work.

    It should be noted that I filled up on Monday in northernmost Orange County for $4.13 for regular — so this station is likely gouging a bit due to its proximity to the freeway and tourist spots — but that doesn’t really matter. This sign feels like a fairly decent indicator of what’s to come.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, it looks like it’s time to go price out a bicycle…

  • Jottings In An Old Notebook

    I’m purging a bunch of stuff that I’d rather not move with when a note from someone I used to hang out with circa 2004 fell out of an old notebook. I had no idea that it was there, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t downright inspired…

    Dew Be Due Bee do
    ERIS is Loki in Drag
    and of Course Lassie as The Beaver

    If I knew who it was from, I’d give credit — but now that I’ve cataloged it, into the bag it goes.

  • True Love Won’t Desert You

    I just have to go on record and say that this shot for shot recreation of the video for Journey’s “Separate Ways” is seriously the best thing that I’ve seen all week. If you even sort of like Journey, you owe it to yourself to stop everything you’re doing and soak all of its majesty in right this second.
