Oh, hi.

So I haven’t solved any crimes for awhile.

In part, because I adopted another persona, and he’s very busy. (He can fly, which is super hero-ish, but he usually doesn’t. He’s also a little flighty.)

And in part because crime-fighting is hard: Unsolved cases were starting to pile up and that’s just pressure I don’t need. Besides, we both know what this is really about: When I grow up, I want to be Veronica Mars.

In the meantime, I have another Tumblr that I’ve actually been updating more frequently: A Little More Kerning. It’s a tighter, smaller version of Live & Kern. See you there.

austinkleon: Richard Florida on “The Geography of Stuck” Nearly six in ten Americans live in the state where they were born, according to the U.S. Census bureau. But there is considerable variation from state to state, as the map (above) by Zara Matheson of the Martin Prosperity Institute shows. More than three quarters of the people in Louisiana (78.9 percent), Michigan (76.6 percent) and Ohio (75.1 percent) were born there… Compare to this county-by-county map of how people moved in 2010. Thx, mlarson!

milligfunk: Library card cabinet used for tea bags at Foam Coffee & Beer on Cherokee Street in St. Louis. I think I need to do this at home on a smaller scale. I would love to have my own library card cabinet. I had not yet planned to store tea bags, though.

There’s a tree in my bedroom. In the closet, actually. Well, it’s not really my bedroom anymore — I haven’t lived there for more than 10 years. But there’s still a tree in my bedroom.
