HEAVY WEATHER 2013: UTOR!

Hong Kong is SHUT DOWN.



Interestingly, Severe Typhoon Utor isn’t all that close to us. It’s something like 250 km down the coast. But it’s big enough and windy enough that we’re feeling it enough to justify a Signal 8 – which is high enough to shut down offices and public transport.

Which means a day off for me. For once. Most typhoons recently seem to have arrived at 1am and left town in time for work while we stay up all night managing window leaks.

Utor is no different in terms of arrival time, but there hasn’t been all that much rain so far, and Utor has been crawling towards the coast, so we actually got some sleep.

Everyone knows it’s windy,

MAD ABOUT OBAMA

As humor magazines go, Mad Magazine was a pioneer in its heyday, but hasn’t quite managed to stay that relevant in the 21st Century – at least not in the same way that Cracked has. Cracked figured out what the Internet wants – random lists about pop culture – and has been delivering it pretty successfully. Whatever Mad is doing, you don't see it circulated around Facebook that much. 

But they still do some things worth passing on. Like the upcoming cover for their latest issue.
