A high-rise building about an avenue and street block away from my apartment just got Donnie Darko’ed by a helicopter/small aircraft. Naturally, accurate details are at a premium right now but so far, the incident has claimed one two lives and the fires have been put out.
If ordinary citizens were freaked out by this - just think of the firemen who had to go up in that building and put out the fire…
Go FDNY!
*UpdateI: Rest in peace, Cory Lidle.

I was just listening to Demetri Martin (with Film School) on that website I just mentioned.

I am attempting to continue a short-lived tradition of making this website a bit creepier during the month of October. My original idea was to feature diagrams of Halloween masks from US Patents - and I took a pass at it and overdid it - still need to work on it. The noose will suffice for today…it’s appropriate.
As I was looking for said mask diagrams, I came across this webpage on the USPTO’s website - as in the federal government.
I doubt that page has been touched in 10-12 years. If it has, that’s really scary.
