The Perks of the Job

The city of Boston, from my office. Well, kind of.

My company works out of two buildings in Boston’s Back Bay – one of which has a kick-ass roof patio with the gorgeous view you see above. And I can go there whenever I want. Take that!

Since the weather’s been pretty much phenomenal in the past few weeks, I was determined to make it to the roof patio for lunch some time soon, and yesterday it finally happened. Granted, it’s windy up there, and my Baked Lays ended up all over the place, but it’s small price to pay for some sun and a view. You’re jealous, I can tell.

Your Daily Oil Update: Still Leaking

Straight out of a scene from Lost, engineers are now proposing that the federal government “send a nuclear device 18,000 feet under water, detonate it, and hope the sudden blast of heat and pure energy is enough to melt the rock around the [leaking] well and clog it,” saving the Gulf Coast from further devastation caused by the BP oil spill.

Obviously, no one is certain that this plan will work, and the White House has already classified it as “crazy.” But, maybe it’s just crazy enough? Apparently the Soviets were successful in a similar situation back in the 60s, and everyone knows we should be doing whatever the Soviets did, since technically they don’t even exist anymore.

The Oil Spill Fix: Blue Bodysuits

According to the Daily Beast, Hollywood movie director James Cameron has been brought in by the EPA to discuss possible solutions to the horrific oil spill now creeping from the Gulf of Mexico to Florida. Apparently, Cameron “‘is considered an expert on underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies,’ presumably from his experience making Titanic.”

If I were James Cameron, I’d be kind of insulted that I was second choice after that “top kill” idea.
