– Moby Los Angeles Architecture Blog
I’ve been a staunch LA hater, as any red-blooded New Yorker/SFer would be. But recently I’ve been coming around to the idea that LA must exist, for the sake of us all. Moby’s documentation of the weird architecture there is a testament to that. (via...

Christen: Man, it feels like all of our heroes are falling
Josh: Does this mean we're getting older?
Christen: Yeah
Josh: But hey, Michael Jordan is still around. And so is Madonna!
Christen: You know she's on Foursquare, right? Before she's on Twitter?
Josh: ... Have you seen Moby's Architecture Tumblr?
Christen: ... This is shit social media couples say.
