The plague of empty commercial spaces in Indianapolis is a testament to our cavalier attitude towards our seemingly endless local geography. It is sickening to see every empty retail spot that isn’t sitting empty be filled by the banking industry that itself is waning and due to be replaced. All the while, new structures and strip malls pop-up a block away, because it was that block that caused those businesses to fail.
Nice analogy. Except the Apple is an actual computing product design and production company and near as I can tell TechCrunch is a blog. At the end of the day, they produced exactly what they should have: a lot of hype and overexposure, but alas no final product. Perhaps they should have worked with a company that is actually capable of executing on this type of thing or even better left it to those companies to produce and design. This seems like the kind of thing TechCrunch is quite adept at pointing out to others.

So that thing on the left is a laptop stand that attaches to your steering wheel. According to Amazon, if you’re interested in such a thing as a device that facilitates computing while driving, you’re also interested in toys (infant toys no less). I assume that is because you have children and while you’re endangering lives, you might as well keep the little ones entertained. The last item on the right is the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia box set. That is clearly up your alley because you are a character from that show and devoid of a moral compass and common sense.
This is the only time ever in the history of the world and Internet that these things have ever been ‘related’.
It pains me to watch tv shows, movies, whatnot more than once. It seems like I should be able to get it the first go around or it really wasn’t worth watching. Pretty sure I could watch the Wire on repeat for eternity.

Surreal on top of surreal. I am sure there is some witty word play here with the word “cereal”, but I’m a bit disoriented after watching this thing that in the context of when I saw it originally didn’t seem all that odd.
Goddamn the eighties were surreal. This is totally like a SNL skit and yet it’s real.

This started and I thought “this has the potential to be the greatest thing I have ever seen”. Then around 47 seconds in it starts the “U.S.A. America” thing and I know I am watching something truly special and unique. It’s not just the story of a ghost with stunning raven locks, it is the story of a specter and a patriot and that’s what it’s about, people: “U.S.A. America…we stand as one”, never said better.
