flashy fridays, zippy cars, and protest hats
Wheehoo. Time for another IMF World Bank protest. Today is the official People’s Strike Day of Non-Compliance and Resistance, So I’m only going to work a half day today. Solidarity! And then I’m going to fuck some shit up old school and like move some stuff into my storage locker and sneer at people who drive big imposing SUV’s. Yeah, and then I’m going to…well…probably log on and read about what other more brave souls are up to in D.C. What I really like about these biannual protests is the art; the political posters and the calls to action are worth the price of admission. Check out this clusterjam poster of Washington D.C. And these ain’t too bad either. All are available from your good folks at AbolishTheBank. Don’t forget that while protesting it’s really important to wear a really dope mesh hat – Neptune’s style. You dig?

I really hope that Zip Cars makes it here to Minneapolis someday. I would totally use that service. In fact I might even get rid of my car and just rely on Zip Cars if the service turns out to be as good as it claims. This idea has been done with bikes before here in Minneapolis as well as other places and its times has come. I really like that you can choose from a variety of different cars to rent. I’d never want to own a new VW bug but I’d certainly enjoy renting one. Here’s hoping…

Friday is a good day for checking out the flashiest flash around. Today it’s all about the Ninja. I laughed good at watching these little stick figure ninjas run around and perform acts of kung fu on each other. The creative monsters at MK12 have a heavy beautiful segment on the ultralove ninja. He’s the international ninja of leisure. great type design. Also, the beat freaks at Ninjatune have some nice new songs that they want you to listen to. The Cinematic Orchestra song is simply wonderful. Finally TheBlueSeaAndSails has some pretty snaps to look at while you listen to the ninjas.
