Moar linky goodness, as I am hip-deep in the Xmas craziness:

• It appears that the lunar astronauts of the future will have less legroom than economy-class air passengers;
• Check out this awesome map charting the birthplaces of Mississippi Delta blues artists;
• Dolphin-safe tuna?
• It's not cool (or even "yum-o") to misspell your name on your blog;
• can you guess what exactly is "emotionally. . .anchoring and meditative with a touch of magic"?  The answer may surprise you;
• David Byrne writes a fascinating article in Wired about the future of the music industry and the six main ways to structure a record deal;
• I think the new Metrocard bonus system must've been inspired by a late-night viewing of Superman III;
• Interesting reviews of television-station logos by a graphic designer:  logos for stations on Channels Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven (with a digression into the history of the iconic Circle Seven), and Eight across the country have been reviewed so far;
• A great variation on the old tablecloth trick; and
• the sounds of ancient subway trains for your listening pleasure.

Updates most likely sporadic (yes, even more than usual -- quiet, you), as I will be winging my way rivahward for a few days.
