Breakfast Links: Florida, MetroNaps & 18,000 Naked Mexicans
Aiight, so check it. All I need’s a second to wreck it. Oh, sorry. So Florida. In their infinite wisdom they have decided to make it near impossible for people to sell used CDs. Stores will be required to collect info on you (the cd seller) including your fingerprints and they won’t be able to sell the CD for 30 days and on top of all that the stores need to file a $10,000 bond for the right to do this at all. Digest all that. This is florida we’re talking about here, the land where people go to buy their guns without any hassle. There’s only a 3 day waiting period to buy a handgun (none if you’re buying a rifle). You don’t need a Federal Firearms License in Florida to sell your guns privately, so there’ll be no record of any private sales. Dude, what the hell is wrong with Florida??
Don’t even try to deny that you need an EnergyPod at work. This company, MetroNap (apparently someone loves CamelCase) is marketing this couch with privacy bubble so that you can go to sleep in your office. There’s some 20 minute timer to get your powernap on. Me? I think offices will use that to find out their slackers, it’s just a tool for the man to lure all the nappers in the office out into the open. Plus, you look a little bit like a tool sleeping in that egg thing. Still… I do like taking naps… yawwwn…
And now, that wacky Spencer Tunick is at it again. This time he’s convinced 18,000 people in Mexico City to converge on Zocalo Square, strip down to their birthday suit and pose for some pictures. You gotta admit that there’s some pretty cool pictures there. I like this one, dunno if it’s Zocalo’s or someone elses with a cam, but it’s sweet.

Ha, I remember MetroNaps when they first started up. Back then you could also order food so that it’d be ready for you when you woke up. Too bad I don’t work by the Empire State Building otherwise I would’ve checked it out. =)
