Screw matrixmultiplication. I’m a mathematician, I don’t do calculations. That’s what you are for.

The NYC Department of Parks & Recreation have released proposed designs for the new Riverside skate park up by West 108th Street. The new $1.8 million cement park is set to include two bowls and a massive street course. What’s missing from the new design is what Riverside is known for – vert! Originally built back in 1996 by the late Andy Kessler, Riverside has been a unique skate park in NYC where skateboarders can learn vert progressing through three sizes of ramps. In the new design bowls will only reach 6 feet angering many of the Upper West Side vert ramp locals. The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission and Public Design Commission will be reviewing the project. A full board vote will be held on June 7th at CB7. Check the new proposed designs out below.

[M]embers of labor unions, and unorganized unskilled workers, will sooner or later realize that their government is not even trying to prevent wages from sinking or to prevent jobs from being exported. Around the same time, they will realize that suburban white-collar workers—themselves desperately afraid of being downsized—are not going to let themselves be taxed to provide social benefits for anyone else. At that point, something will crack. The nonsuburban electorate will decide that the system has failed and start looking around for a strongman to vote for—someone willing to assure them that, once he is elected, the smug bureaucrats, tricky lawyers, overpaid bond salesmen, and postmodernist professors will no longer be calling the shots…. One thing that is very likely to happen is that the gains made in the past forty years by black and brown Americans, and by homosexuals, will be wiped out. Jocular contempt for women will come back into fashion…. All the resentment which badly educated Americans feel about having their manners dictated to them by college graduates will find an outlet.

Frank H. Netter (1906-1991)

Netter is the Norman Rockwell of Medical Illustration.

“Dr. Netter’s contribution to the study of human anatomy is epochal. He has advanced our understanding of anatomy more than any other medical illustrator since the 16th century, when Vesalius introduced drawings based on cadaveric dissections.” - Dr Michael Debakey

Unlike most sterile medical illustration, Netter aimed to include the human element in his pictures. His characters are real, they cry and they sweat and show emotion through the blood and disfigurement. Netter was as much about the psychology of the human condition as he was about accurate anatomy.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
