  Promo for the Purim show at 92Y Tribeca*, via Design Observer: *-I’ve never understood why they keep the 92Y branding. Tribeca is nowhere near 92nd. The geographic center in my brain hurts.

• chicken head tracking

  This post is not about Mumbai. I’m trying really hard to avoid frothing-at-the-mouth posts, so I’ll direct you to the live feed at Tweet Grid for information on that. Here, I have something completely different. It’s about the physiology of the chicken. They are weird m*&^%$f@!#+rs.
