This bridges are literally awesome. If you don’t take a look, you’re really missing out.

The Morning News has had some awesome photo galleries of a certain bear in dozens of places. Rosecrans Baldwin’s useful introduction:

I believe I enjoy publishing Witold Riedel’s “Bear” galleries here on TMN more than any other series of photos we run. If you’re new to the bear, I recommend digging back into previous iterations, like “The Bear,” “The Bear Goes to Paris,” or “The Bear in Helsinki.”

I met the bear in person once, at a dive bar in Greenwich Village. He was traveling with Witold that evening as he often does (but not always), and up close he embodied the same melancholic fortitude we get from the pictures—a little Germanic and perhaps too tall, but not someone who’s put-off by the world. More of a stiff spine in the face of the strange, the big, and the imposing. A traveler like the rest of us, moving through forests and museums and on planes, and one just as easily awed.

I love things like this, I hope you do too. A blog that is simply a series of pictures of puddles. Does blogging get better than that?

I saw this tidbit in Newsweek and got a kick out of it.

Instead of paying $20 or more for every obscure foreign or documentary title a customer requests, a few stores have begun using Netflix accounts to procure the title, slip it in a blank case and re-rent it to customers.

Netflix may not like it, but I think it’s pure genius.

This has to be seen. I can so no more than that.
