tuesday november 4
today i decided, with the weather as nice as it was, that i'd walk to a friend's place a few kilometers away. not wanting to be overly early or late, i first google mapped the route to find out the distance between our houses, then looked up the wikipedia for 'walking' to find out the average walking speed of a human. despite my reseach, and a brief run-in and stop-and-talk with a friend along the way, i arrived 15 minutes early.

although i'm pleased to make a slight appearance in a post, i'm disappointed this isn't about the election! so much hilarious material
google maps calculates walking time for you.
for example, the 6 minute walk from old city hall to the condom shack:
