A little something to pass the time as you contemplate exactly what Lebron James will do Saturday night... As always, here is some of the best stuff I've come across over the past few weeks.
Up On The Roof
By Verlyn Klinkenborg
National Geographic's look into the world of Green Roofing. This is a great primer for those looking to get the Coles Notes version of the benefits of vegetated roof assemblies.

Asbury Park Club From Springsteen's Glory Days Set for Auction
By David M. Levitt

By Jonathan Lethem
For those who are into the work of Jonathan Lethem... Or for those who ever just wanted to leave it all behind... Or for those who are fascinated by 3-legged pitbulls...
The YouTube clip of the week comes courtesy of Allan Cross and The Ongoing History of New Music. I was driving home from softball (of the co-ed, non-competitive variety) Monday night and heard this track... My question is: how have I gone the duration of my life without ever having heard Steinski & The Mass Media's The Motorcade Sped On? This is one of the greatest mashups of all-time.
