when you're flipping through the radio and you suddenly hear the little pan flute trill at the very beginning of Sledgehammer

It's a fair cop

To be clear, this is "Walk & Roll to School Day", put on by the National Center for Safe Routes to School. That is *different* than "Bike & Roll to School Day" in the spring, put on by the Safe Routes Partnership. Why are two competing events being put on by similar organizations? Not sure

Digger is a good film and I enjoyed it. Top 5 Tom Cruise film. 4 people in my theater, and two of them left early. Those of us who stayed were the ones who were laughing the most.

Nakano-based fashion brand THUNDERBOX is releasing a new high-quality, made-to-order stadium jacket designed in collaboration with iconic Japanese resale store chain HARD-OFF. The slick new piece is adorned with the store's famous blue “junk” boxes and declares REUSE GOES HARD.

The early days of my hockey fandom started with 2. RIP Barry Melrose

Much love to optimus prime but honestly toonami's promos are my enduring memory of the late great Peter Cullen. The way he lent such a sense of gravitas to their anime lineup really made young Gee feel like he was watching something truly special.

One of my favorite nights at my old job was accompanying the Japanese Ambassador to the Yayoi Kusama show at the Hirshhorn museum, got a great picture of him having fun with the art. Her art had a lot of depth and variety, but of course had a welcoming, easy to "get" feel that invited people in

This is a really...thing-focused perspective. I wrote about exactly this in my book HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS -- the quotidian luxury of our homes compared to the past -- and I still think the real change is our *collective* infrastructural systems for electricity, water, communications, and more.

My favorite time of the year: Season of wall to wall ads for Maryland Ren Faire across the entire Washington Post website. Elaborate, constant, and bizarrely fancy for an event that sells out completely every year no matter how high they raise ticket prices.
