Outside CIA headquarters, there’s an installation called “Kryptos,” a large metal sheet containing a series of characters that has perplexed puzzlers since it was unveiled 10 years ago. Today, the NYT reports that the artist mistakenly omitted a character.

  • Vote for ( ) - Paul Krugman's tacit Obama endorsement - As a Times columnist, he can't explicitly endorse anyone, but he describes Obama's defining traits in this excellent paragraph ... "Bottom line: Please do not vote for the candidate you most want to have a beer with (unless it’s to get stone cold drunk so you don’t have to think about this mess we’re in). Vote for the person you’d most like at your side when you ask your bank manager for an extension on your mortgage. Vote for the candidate you think has the smarts, temperament and inspirational capacity to unify the country and steer our ship through what could be the rockiest shoals our generation has ever known."
  • Thriller as a 64-Voice Acapella - CollegeHumor video - Wow. This takes serious dedication, homes.
  • John Perry Barlow - IP on The Global Net - An incredibly thought-provoking essay by John Perry Barlow about intellectual property in an online world. He wrote this 15 years ago, but it almost seems to have come from the future. Crazy.
  • The sad tale of Pinchy the lobster - I wish pinchy was here to enjoy this.
  • Routers - WRT54G2 - Downloads - New router info. Good stuff
  • Your Name In Japanese - Nice little translation engine.
  • Tandoori nights - Business of Life - livemint.com - Yoshi's excellent article about cooking in a kitchen in Mumbai. "Kitchens everywhere are subject to various stresses, usually in the form of absence, particularly of space and time. So they become bastions of ingenuity. This Mumbai kitchen is no exception. No space to put a cutting board, no knife to cut with? I watched chef Sokrum put an onion in his hand and slice it with the shaved-down blade of what used to be a hacksaw."
  • The sentences of Sarah Palin, diagrammed. - Someone had to do it.
  • Our People - Wow. A letter of support to a recovery facility where David Foster Wallace lived for a while.
  • 190 Bowery, the Greatest Real-Estate Coup of All Time? - New York Magazine - Wow. A photographer lives in an old bank building with 70+ rooms. He bought it for 100K in the 60s, and now it's worth, umm, a lot of money. Like 70mil, by some estimates.
  • Del.icio.us - An epic number of elsewheres up in there.
