Scariest Hikes, Ever

11:36 pm in Video by Sho

At first I thought this video of a walk across a rickety suspension bridge in Japan was pretty bad.


Holy shit.

It reminded me of this perilous path in China.


Jesus Christ.

But then I clicked on a link to this video in the comments and was utterly stunned by this hiking trail in Spain.


Ohgodohgodohgod.

I'd love do more traveling in the future, but these are locales that I will probably skip.

There She Is

3:29 pm in Video by Sho

There She Is is a very cute Korean-made series of short animated films, which I believe is an allegory about the taboos surrounding Japanese-Korean romantic relationships, but can be taken as a story about any kind of forbidden love.  Full of energy, action and catchy Korean pop music, these five short cartoons are worth checking out.

Matt On Love

2:33 pm in Quotes by Sho

“Love is rabbit that thinks it is a kitten, a cat that thinks it is a man, a man that thinks it is a person. A small brain struggling to be large. For a moment, something higher than birth, greater than an animal's shape. Alas, outside my wire hutch door, a German shepherd awaits, unaware of the rules of our game.

— Matt

Warren Ellis, Twitter, and Whisky

3:12 pm in Words by Sho

I've only just recently gotten into drinking and enjoying scotch, so it was entertaining and educational to catch a series of Twitter posts by British writer Warren Ellis while he was drinking the stuff.

Just gone midnight. Time for whisky and the absurdity of making shit up for a living. 5:16 PM Dec 5th from twhirl

@sherimonk Why would I spend good money on Canadian whisky when I can just go and get a dog to piss in my mouth for free? 6:06 PM Dec 5th from twhirl in reply to SheriMonk

I love many things about Canada, but I'm afraid the whisky is not one of them. Might be okay for descaling a drain, maybe. 6:13 PM Dec 5th from twhirl

People will kill me if I go into a long tirade about whisky on this thing. 6:44 PM Dec 5th from twhirl

A National High-Speed Rail Line

» A National High-Speed Rail Line

It's a bit of wishful thinking and possibly a little optimistic about length of travel, but this image created by Dorothy Gambrell, creator of Cat and Girl, still makes you think. I'd do cartwheels even if a high-speed rail managed to cut the usual 20-hour Amtrak trip from Portland to San Francisco in half. A 3-hour trip from Tucson to San Diego would be amazing.
