Cleaning Out the Digital Bins

Let's see, I saved a few things here and there to pass on . . .

1. Ah yes, here's a May, 1935 page courtesy of Modern Mechanix -- look at this face - do you think that Mr. Charles F. "Boss Ket" Kettering here has found the SECRET POWER of some good Grass?

2. Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty is in danger. Maybe. I'm not entirely sure that change wasn't part of Smithson's wishes/desires. Maybe not this way though.

3. Neatorama gives an, indeed, neat overview of the changing of several familiar logos for tech companies over the years.

4. Go to Google. Type in "find Chuck Norris." Then hit "I'm feeling lucky." You cannot escape the power of Chuck Norris.

5. WFMU's Beware of the Blog has an overview of amusement park Dark Rides, including a link to the wonderful Laff in the Dark site, where I spent way too much time one day after first finding it.

6. Music video - Bat for Lashes - "What's a Girl to Do?" - I dig, I dig muchly (h/t: The House Next Door):

7. Essay video: from Goodie Bag, something for the font geeks, "Trajan Is the Movie Font":

8. Instructional video: A rather odd bicycle safety film from 1963, One Got Fat, with monkey faces and narration by Edward Everett Horton. Disturbing (and note, nearly 15 minutes long):

9. Insane video: Someone has mashed up and remixed an anime theme song with bits of Japanese Ronald McDonald commercials. Dear sweet merciful heavens, WHY? (h/t: Matthew Freeman, the fargin' bastidge):

And I'm at home again, trying to find something productive to do on any of my shows. Pretty much at a dead end (except for bits of writing and design) until I get more prospective cast response. No more by Monday and I move on to new people.

And Berit is making props for Untitled Theater Co. #61/Edward Einhorn's upcoming calypso musical production of Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle:

So it goes . . .
