a little weekend reading

from Slate: "This is the essence of Statham-ism, a mix of bionic brute force and slapstick—Robocop meets Keystone Cops."

some Wired-inspired Wikipedia (the most recent issue is this particular geek's heaven btw... all about mystery and magic and puzzles and guest-edited by J. J. Abrams!): the Georgia Guidestones, Kryptos, and the finally near release of new Nabokov to get excited about.

from VF: a good piece on how weird Arthur Sulzberger Jr. is and the future of the NYTimes and print media in general... although Bowden's anti-algorithm diatribe near the end turns me off a little.

and some old New Yorker I meant to put up here a while ago: Toobin on Burris (his two kids are named Roland Jr. and Rolanda?!), a seriously scary piece on solitary confinement, and that Rahm Emanuel profile by Ryan Lizza... if you love people fulfilling their stereotypes as much as I do, this will not disappoint.
