Meatball Sub
The Scottish Play by Brian Phillips in Slate
Soccer is always more than soccer.
Also: it feels like there's been a lot in lunchbreakfix recently that's from Slate, but I think they've all been good. I'm looking for some more interesting and consistent sources for articles/graphics/&c, and I'm open to suggestions.

Thin Spaghetti Marinara and a Plum
The Tallest Woman In the Room Tells All by Melissa Johnson in Salon
Obviously, my first thought was "she is George Costanza's dream."

Indian Food and a Nectarine
Breaking Up With Iraq by Whitney Terrell in Slate
This is the last of a 3-part piece in Slate that's a followup, of sorts, to the reporter's previous work in Iraq. There's a slideshow that accompanies it, too.

Japanese Food (I'm not sure what it'll be yet)
No Secrets: Julian Assange's mission for total transparency
by Raffi Khatchadourian in The New Yorker
I actually read this one a long time ago but something made me think of it again so I thought I'd post it.

Pasta, Nan, and a Nectarine
by Ryan Singel in Wired
This is one of those things that makes me think "Goddammit, why couldn't I come up with that?" It's brilliant in it's simplicity and it seems to be completely legit. I'm just wondering about profitability because it seems like they'll need a big increase in capital investment the more popular they become.

Grape Leaves (again)
The Peter King hearings on radical Islam (Live blog) by Felicia Sonmez in The Washington Post
Read from the bottom up if you want things in chronological order, it's better that way. But I'm warning you right now: DON'T read the comments, you'll just get pissed off. I haven't even read them, I just know what the Post's comment sections are like.
That's it, I gave you a warning. It's on you now.

Grape Leaves (part 2)
This is the best truck crash ever: no one hurt, no serious environmental harm, and the road is lots of pretty colors
Grape Leaves
#708; Everything Needs a Metric I've been getting a lot of pressure to not buzz my hair again, so the timing of this comic is incredibly appropriate .
This is my struggle! Sure, my hair might not (I didn't say doesn't, I said might not) look fantastic when I cut it myself, but damn it, it's FREE. It's infinite value in terms of HVI, regardless of the result.
(Don't forget the scroll-over text).

Chicken Green Curry
Seattle Band MapThis thing is crazy, and it's growing everyday so it's always different. There's a good article about it in Wired, too, that talks more about it's origins.
I think these cross-disciplinary/crowd-source/map projects are fascinating. Anytime you can represent data visually and in a creative way, you've got my attention. And to think: that all started with my love for The Onion's and the Economist's infographics.
