This is real, and it is sexual, but it is not the kind of real you see at walmart near the sales racks.

“Japan syndrome hits about 10 Japanese tourists to Paris a year. The victims are so disappointed at the dirty streets and rude waiters that they succumb to a nervous breakdown at the idea of having wasted a week of leave and savings on a trip to the City of Lights.”

“Sleep-deprived people lack reason. They are dark shadows of gloom. They become tetchy and irritable. Everyone seems an idiot, and the world is hostile. One friend says he gets into a sort of murderous rage, and he doesn’t realize that his fury is directly caused by his lack of sleep until he finally gets some rest. Sleep is a care-charmer. So follow the Spanish, the Mexicans, the Africans. Wherever people have a greater degree of control over their everyday lives, they nap. Sleep will make you strong and beautiful. We are always banging on about how rich we are in the West, yet we cannot organize our time efficiently enough to allow ourselves a nap in the day. What fools. Let us sleep.”

Sign-In With Twitter
Facebook seems to carry more inherent value with its sign in service since users more than likely have full profiles and other useful information already filled out there. However, two cutting edge companies duking it out is always a good thing.
First, I love that they are taking on Facebook with this. I’m always a sucker for the underdog. Second, I can see several places where I may be using this. Very cool stuff.

Costco and City Centers
This past weekend we went to Costco. We barely ever shop at big box stores, there isn’t much we need there, but every now an then we need something bulk and don’t want to waste our membership. This was fine when we lived in Lancaster, or any other city I’ve lived in, but now that we are in Philadelphia, I went to the map and found the closest Costco. It was showing up as 19 miles away, west of the city. There was another about 20 miles away in New Jersey. I didn’t really believe it, so I went to the Costco site and, low and behold, it really was 19 miles away. So we went, and it was like a road trip. It got me thinking, “I bet this is the farthest from a major city center that any Costco is in the entire United States”. I kind of didn’t believe myself, but I told Hope, and she laughed but agreed. The one thing that I was banking on was the fact that Philadelphia is retarded. White flight hit this city really hard and most of the suburbanish conveniences that you come to expect ( and make fun of ) aren’t really there in center city Philly.
So today I did some research and this is what I found.
Amazing. Both NYC and SF, two extremely dense and urban cities have Costco’s within 3 miles of their city centers. The only comparable city to Philly is Dallas, which makes me depressed. There is something about Philadelphia that discourages people from taking part in life close to the center. The other sad part is that you’d think since the big national chains aren’t there that nice, quality local stores would crop up. Nope, they are all shitty, half-assed affairs.
I’ll leave you with this fun fact: Our closest Apple store is out in the suburbs and it takes half and hour to drive there. I live about a five minute walk from city hall. FML.
