So Nissan is moving corporate headquarters from California to Tennessee.
Hmm.
While “more timely information sharing” with production facilities may be important, I wouldn’t be so quick to leave your design group behind: The new Maxima is one of the ugliest flagship sedans I’ve ever seen this side of a Chris Bangle afterbirth.
The main reason this story has any interest to me is because my dad’s office is located in Gardena, and most people know that the Gardena folks basically did all the work that raised Ghosn to rock star status in the first place.
Hey, Mr. CEO man! Get a clue!

A character study of 22 present and past cartoon characters
This is just awesome, but what I really want to see is a full edition of TMNT done in skeletons. Heroes in a half shell and all that (and just what the hell does the “half shell” thing mean, anyway?

Fucking cryptic cartoon song lyrics. Have Bob Dylan write that shit or something.).

“Unfortunately, Hughes’ didnt feel that the music would fit together well when removed from the film and compiled into an album. The songs work really well alongside the highs and lows of the film, but there isnt much of a common thread running between the songs other than the film’s plot. So unlike Hughes’ other successful films, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off never received an official soundtrack release.”
Go get all the songs in mp3 format here.

In other news, it appears that Mexican criminales are watching too much Tarantino:
“When the police arrived they took the helmet off the corpse, believing at first that he had died in the crash …he had adhesive tape stuck to his face, a knife wound to his forehead, and showed signs of strangulation.”

Hehe… Time for a little nature video: Crab vs. Pipe
