Something Shiny

So, maybe the directions aren’t perfect yet… note in the screen shot it has me off a good trail and on a busy city street to save a block or two on a 7 mile trip, but just the fact that Google has included trails as a route option is very nice. Thanks Google, you’re the best!

Hit up Google Maps to find trails in your neighborhood, and/or watch the video below for more information.

Ok, so they’re here in support of what is likely their day job at this point, Yo Gabba Gabba, but it doesn’t mean the big kids can’t have fun too. After two shows for the little kiddies at the Target Center, The Aquabats are off to the Triple Rock.

Unfamiliar? Check out some of their tracks below. Or some of the other related posts here on the site.

I don’t remember which of the BoingBoing contributors love Richard Kadrey so much, maybe more than one of them, but someone over there had recommended Butcher Bird and later Sandman Slim. Both turned out to be excellent, gritty fantasy novels. I just picked up Kamikaze L’Amour from the library and I’m pretty excited. While the synopsis in and of itself doesn’t sound amazing, I don’t think the synopsis for either of the other two were overly brilliant either.

I like the idea of Kirsten Dunst, but rarely anything she does. I like the idea of this video, but… well… the cover is a little weak.
