The New (Media) Workout Plan
Illustrator Patrick Moberg built a workout plan tailored to his Internet usage. Although I may change one or two of the sites out, I could see this being a benefit.

Super-Fast Pancake-Sorting Flexpicker Robot
The title is a bit confusing, but the pancake sorting robots in the video don’t seem to be confused at all. Sorting at around 400 pancakes per minute (ppm), these guys can monitor the size/thickness of each one to get even stacks for packaging.
It starts to get good about the 1:15 mark and then a second time about 2/3 of the way through to see their buffer system.
A second video of the machine sorting croissants is on the EMD site.

End of week internet goodness for 09/25/09
The web wasn’t particularly funny this week but it did provide some some well-built infographics – which I can never seem to get enough of.
Click the images to see the full graphics.
First up, ever thought of printing out the Internet? Umm, me either. But if you tried, it’d only take your inkjet printer 3,800 years to knock it out.

A Fashionable Thursday v5
My original intention for AFT this week was to do an all-shoe rundown. That immediately went out the door when possibly the worlds’ best fitting button down shirt came across my desk.
I’ll keep an all-shoe post on the to do list for another week.
Band of Outsiders : button down – sea island
As with most things I wear, I have rules concerning button down shirts. I’m a big fan of button down collars on shirts without a tie. Not so much with one though. Call me crazy but why would a person take the time to dress up a look with a tie and then cinch it off with a couple of buttons on a shirt? Let it breathe.
No need for a tie here, this shirt kills on its own. Slim fit goodness. $325
