neonvincent: For posts about Twilight and trolling (Twilight Fandom wank trolls you)
I was busy preparing to travel and then traveling, so I skipped posting here.

I decided I'd rather watch Katy Perry blast off in Blue Origin today than do all the work posting this would entail, so I wrote Vox asks 'Are your fingerprints really unique?' instead.  Later.

If I hadn't met my November page view goal for Crazy Eddie's Motie News this morning, I'd have considered posting this video to get more page views. I didn't need to, so I posted 'The History of the Turkey' and PBS Terra on sweet potatoes and corn for Thanksgiving instead. I think that would be more evergreen.

I decided the following trailer didn't add much to 'The Beatles: Get Back,' 'We Need to Talk About Cosby,' and 'Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy' all nominated for five Emmy Awards in nonfiction series, so I put it here.

I found this at the bottom of YouTube's Trending page: Only Slightly Exaggerated | Travel Oregon.


When I read "Oregon travel ad looks like Miazaki," I thought the writer was kidding.  Nope, it really does.

BTW, I was planning on writing something about the swallows returning to Capistrano today, but this was a much brighter shiny object.  Maybe next year.

In my previous Buzz about Detroit from Model D Media post, I noted:
Nearly all of my most popular articles here seem to the ones in which I comment on a New York Times article about how Detroit and its suburbs are dealing with contraction. This one fits that mold, except that it's more optimistic.
That seems to be the theme for nearly all the articles from Model D Media's Buzz page. Of course, one should expect that from a publication whose Twitter profile states:
We love Detroit. We write about Detroit. We photograph Detroit. We film Detroit. We want you to love Detroit, too.
...And whose attitude I characterized as "Optimism but not business as usual." They're certainly living up to both my billing and their own.

This week, I present three articles that protray Detroit, not as a disaster and not as a place being reborn from its ashes, but as a phoenix worth visiting. No, I'm not kidding. Detroit is now a place for the adventurous to visit and settle in.

Above originally posted to Crazy Eddie's Motie News as Detroit as a travel destination? The New York Times, BBC, and Financial Times think so.
