EveryBlock Chicago has a map and list of all the shooting locations of The Dark Knight in Chicago. Chicagoist has pictures of a couple of the places too. I was actually in Chicago 2 weeks ago on vacation, it was a lot of fun. I saw a couple of those places without knowing it. Had dinner at that Twin Anchors restaurant too, awesome ribs.

The Watchmen trailer is available online. Looks like it\’s faithful to the comic.

The New York Times has a good article about the architecture of all the new buildings going up at an incredible pace in Beijing. I visited there 5 years ago and there were construction cranes and huge skyscrapers going up all over. I bet I wouldn\’t even recognize anymore.

Awesome popsicle moulds of Lego minifigures. Now I can finally finish my Lego reenactment of the Wicked Witch\’s death scene from Wizard of Oz.

Concept Ships is a cool blog dedicated to scf-fi spaceship art. I love this kind of stuff.

Stripper arrested for subway pole dances

The professional pole dancer worked quickly all week to avoid arrest, getting on at one station, finding a subway car with no children on it and stripping in time to exit at the next station.

Note to self: Move to Santiago. Lucky Chileans. While they had a stripper on their train I was stuck with the crazy old religious lady who prayed loudly the entire trip.
