know a guy who knows a guy...

My paid LJ account expired a week or two ago.

I just looked at somebody's "plus" journal -- so, the first ads I've seen on LJ.

Not sure I want to give them any money now.

(Psst! LJ employees! There's this guy brad I could point you to -- he might be able to get you the hookup with some tasteful text ads! ... )

lest we forget

There are apparently commemorative bronze plaques in Toronto that somebody has put up for fairly arbitrary recent events. With tags, molded right into the bronze.

This is probably the coolest art happening I've seen today or for a while; you may have seen the BoingBoing post. The links fan out from there.

Here's the article. There's apparently a video art collective that has something to do with this.
