I was thinking of the interior. I guess you're right considering the outside of the building. However, that's like almost every building in the valley. Sand Hill Road isn't exactly an architectural tourist destination, either

The list of resources in this post is great. I'll add in that you can find all the Loomis books on PDF floating around the internet, and certain instructors at the Art Student's League in NY are amazing. On the flip side, continui

It might seem like everyone watched 24 but in reality the viewership was around 11 million at its peak. Which is a good viewership for a TV serial but also means that 300 million Americans haven't seen it.

France is like most countries with high unemployment in that the primary cause of unemployment is that there aren't enough jobs. Germany has the mittelstand which keeps over 70% of the population employed. The US has its own version of

I'm having trouble telling whether you are serious here. You seem like you are, but you're saying you rebelled by playing Shadowrun, speeding, and not drinking or doing drugs? Canada is a different kind of place, I guess.

I'll admit I haven't read anything from the Guardian since Greenwald's opinion piece explaining his IRS bill (which was only 2 days ago). Has there been anything interesting since then?

If he ran 13 red lights he'd be assessed the penalty 13 times for that, too. I'm not sure why the number of charges multiplied by the penalty would be draconian. That's just arithmetic. Luckily, the legal system in the USA is
