Some enterprising New Yorker has finally mapped out the legal parking places all over this fine city. Parallel spaces is "a Map for us, the New Yorkers whose several hundred thousand cars are on the street right this minute." The project started as a labor of love and has turned into quite the feat. And while I'd love to explain it to you, it's 3 p.m. Friday afternoon and this thing looks a bunch of Egyptian hieroglyphics right now. It's confusing, and I really don't feel like going through the tutorial, so that's all you.

Call it wishful thinking, but we'd like to believe Google Maps considers bicyclists as big a pain as we do.

The Library's lion is getting a haircut! The Times is reporting that the New York Public Library is unveiling a new logo which is designed to look better online when shrunk—the old one was too detailed and wouldn’t translate digitally. Also Patience, the lion who is featured in the logo, just really wanted to try something new, you know? It was time! Too bad the king of the jungle ended up with an 80s blowout.

As the roller derby season winds down, interest in the sport has just sparked. The crowd at Saturday’s double-header game was chock full of newbies, tweens, and kids. You could just see images of Ellen Page in their young, innocent eyes. While the games weren’t nearly as violent as the ones in “Whip It,” the visiting team, Sockit Wenches, gave our gals a run for the money and went home with the prize.
