This artwork about two boys who love the NYC subway is awesome.

As a former employee of the Gap, I can say with some authority that it’s true that a stint there will induce OCD in the sloppiest of people. I spent enough hours board folding when I worked there that I have folding shirts down to a science. It actually took me a long time to cure myself of the habit of folding shirts in stores that were not the one I worked in. So, yes, they are a little crazy about the folding at the Gap, BUT I wouldn’t have it any other way because most Gap stores are very neat. I hate shopping in messy stores.

Eliot Spitzer’s approval ratings are way down, and this might be why: East Village Idiot presents the official guide to who’s getting screwed by the fare hike. The bottom line is that the only people not affected by the fare hike are tourists — the only people who pay for the occasional $2 ride. Even I, who commute to work by foot and only ride the subway occasionally now, am getting screwed because I buy the $2 rides in bulk, and the 20% discount, wherein you get an extra ride for every 5 you purchase, is being reduced.
