Places I Visited on the Internet Today #11

Another day spent reading the everything that I can on the Internet. Here's all the places that I went to:

• I started my morning off by watching this GIF for a full minute. It's a lady's head revealing Arnold Schwartznegger and I think it's from Total Recall and it's ridiculous and hypnotic. (via @_lucky)
• Tiger cubs at the Minnesota Zoo get a bubble machine! I really wish that there was a video of this!
• Yesterday, I remarked that I didn't like the xkcd comics, although I like the guy's charts. Here's one of his comics.
• If there is some sort of stupid Gen X nostalgia show on TV, I bet that this sequence from the pill addiction episode of Saved By the Bell is part of its opening credits. 
• Beverly Cleary school gets a mosaic for one of its entrances.
• The Old Church needs an interior paint job, and as part of its fundraising efforts, you can get your picture taken with a "Victorian Santa". 
• More info on Map-21's treatment of city streets as highways, and what this means for non-automotive transportation.
• New research indicates that early detection of Alzheimer's disease may be possible.
• I'm embarassed about these "Liz & Dick" related links I went to, but here they are anyway:
• Salon comments on the "movie".
• The most memorable parts of the show.
• Another review - why did I waste my time reading this stuff??
• I've read the play of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", but I've never gotten around to seeing the movie. I did watch this clip and this clip, though.
• Reading stupid "Liz & Dick" stuff led to me reading about the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. You know, so I can stay current with what's going on in the world. And then I watched that Brittney Spears performance but had to stop after 45 seconds because I forgot how truly terrible it was.
• A review of "Killing Them Softly", which sounds like a lot better of a movie than I had expected.
• Carson and Colin will be signing copies of Under Wildwood at Reading Frenzy's Portland Bazaar booth next weekend!
• The Department of the Interior designates 27 new National Landmarks.
• Burgerville.
• The Oregon Encyclopedia's entry on the Salvation Army in Portland, written by @alderllc.
• Going to university is growing increasingly unaffordable.
• Someone freaks out when a couple of whales come hang out with their canoe. I want to hang out with a couple of whales! I won't even hyperventilate.
• Some reminiscing about the Nirvana era of Sub Pop records.
• Baby elephant video!!
• "House of Circles" by Mr Gnome. I am not as impressed as Ned Lannaman; it may be that it's just not my aesthetic.
• This blog post is called "No More Indiana Jones Warehouses" and I was intrigued, but it is just an article encouraging historians to get involved in digital humanities. It did, however, lead me to the Urban Simulator Team's virtual representation of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, and this project where a class mapped the movements of the characters in Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.
• An article about a program that allows foreign real estate investors to get green cards through investing a bunch of money.
• The New York Times reports that tax rates are lower now than they were back in 1980 (except for the poor), and then talks to a bunch of crybabies who don't want to have any taxes raised (except for the one rich guy who thinks the poor should pay even more taxes).
• Bike Portland has a list of transportation grants that the ODOT is applying for.
• Walk Score now has a pretty cool setting where you can see a map of the places that you can travel within a certain amount of time.
• An article on NYC's version of bus rapid transit that isn't that great.
• A positive review of The Ethics of Big Data, written by @KordDavis.
• Acorn Host - I was providing someone with advice on Internet hosting, and I really like this company.
• Jerry Saltz buys a couple of knock-off Gerhard Richters. And then I read another article he wrote about Glenn Beck "making art" by putting an Obama figurine in a jar of urine, which just sounds like something that was too crazy to actually happen but I guess it did. Oh, and here is his top 10 art picks for the year.
• A cool series of turn-of-the-century photos of pubs in London.
• A recap of this week's episode of The Office.
• Police blotter:
• When your Green or Yellow-line MAX train is out of commission for the next couple of days, you can thank this drunk-driving chump. Of COURSE he was driving a Hummer.
• Here's how to get arrested: grab some weed, open a drink, drive to 82nd and Sandy and fire a gun from your car. Bonus points for not having a valid license or insurance.
• Police recover stolen head of baby Jesus. I really want to know what kind of an asshole goes out of their way to vandalize religious statuary.
• The cops need help on a cold case from 2010.
• Questions on Quora:
• Why hasn't Microsoft been able to solve the problem of Windows getting so slow after about a year of use?,
• What are some tips, tricks, and gotchas when using KnockoutJS?
• Why does Superman wear red underwear over his costume?
• Wikipedia pages:
• A Confederacy of Dunces
• Steele Mackaye (I was looking for information on the Spectatorium.)
• Andres Serrano
• Piss Christ
