FlyBy (blog) entered FlyBy (HUDS) yesterday afternoon during the 12 p.m. rush to discover a slow moving line of students winding around all the way around the pub exterior to the door at the end of the hall. Some students were making practical use of the waiting time, catching up on some forgotten class reading and even meticulously taking notes in the margins while robotically shuffling along towards their destination. Read on about this new inefficiency after the jump...
...adroitly glamorous exercise in how to balance muscle and lightness. The muscle comes from the main structural supports of the stadium's retractable roof, a pair of massive single-span steel arches, each a quarter-mile in length, that plant their big feet in concrete boxes just outside the exterior walls. The lightness comes from 180-ft.-high glass doors set between the arches on two sides of the stadium.

Each possesses her own subtleties of speech, and yet they are constantly interchanged. They call for one another, assume...
...life of ephemeral works, and to providing them, often for the first time, with a legitimate home.Meme is housed in a one-story building once home to a travel agency. The gallery is an anomaly in a block of residences—a small, detached structure with an unremarkable exterior. One of the owners, Vela Phelan, describes it as “a little cabinet in the city.” Phelan and four other performance artists partnered with Bradley Benedetti to create Meme, which opened its first show in June; Benedetti was an owner of the space...
