iPod nano cards at東急東横線渋谷駅ホーム

This photo is taken from Flikr user "purprin" (click on photo to see other pics), who has taken these pictures on the Tokyo subway. It's a really savvy bit of marketing, where they have an entire wall of black nano ipod cutouts and an entire wall of white nano ipod cutouts. The cutouts are designed to be taken off the wall and taken home. They have a URL (link) on the back that you can go to to download free ipod wallpaper. Apparently it's a great ad campaign, cause people are taking these off the wall faster then the workers can put them back up.

Wilma, the latest in a long string of tropical storm/hurricane to menance the US and the coastal regions. There have been so many tropical storms lately that they will for the first time have to turn to the greek alphabet to name upcoming storms. In case you didn't know, each storm is named in alphabetical order, so the first storm of the year will start with "A" such as hurricane Angie, next will be "B" and so on, so we've already had over 26 storms! We might actually get a taste of Wilma, she's intent on coming up the coast.

Conroy gets convicted of negligent homicide. It's a shame. This sends a message to all cops that if you have to pull out your gun to defend your life, be prepared for a maelstorm of legal nightmares, and don't be surpirsed if you actually end up going to jail to save your life. Remember Detective Rafferty who didn't pull out his gun in time? He and his partner are both dead now from a piece of shit garbage who shot them both. Now they adorn the Honor wall for those who've sacrificed their lives for the City of New York. But at least they didn't get sued...
