Late Night Thoughts


It's three AM and the train that runs next to the apartment (wait, sorry, "loft") building is on its way through.

Want to hear something crazy? From a 1994 paper entitled The Full Costs of the Car I:
...a 50-ton, 4-axle truck can cause an estimated $6 per mile worth of damage to a rural arterial highway.
It must make it a bit more fun to drive one of those things knowing that. What a weird figure, in any case. And also from that report:
...60,000 square miles have been paved over...
That's enough to pave over all of England and still have enough to pave over all of Liechtenstein (150 times).

Anyway, enough with the numbers. They tend to get tedious after about 5 of them.

Take a look at the colors of noise. White is only the tip of this fascinating iceberg...
