NOLA.com: Times-Picayune Breaking News Weblog

Not a good scene in New Orleans. I was there twelve years ago for a weekend; I remember walking around the sweltering downtown area looking for the intersection of Camp and LaFayette streets (where
Lee Harvey Oswald lurked in the Summer of 1963- it no longer exists, apparently, replaced by a plaza of governmental buildings). I remember the humidity and evening showers, the street cars, beignets, blackened catfish, and the Preservation Hall at 11:30 at night. I hope to return some day.

Taschen Books - The Stanley Kubrick Archives

So, I just broke down and purchased this book...the culmination of my appreciation of all things Kubrick.

I have to say that the art books from Taschen are without parallel. I have the series of volumes covering print advertising art from the 1920s to the 1980s, and couldn't be happier with them. Highly recommended.

FOUND Magazine

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain. Time to die."
--Roy Batty, Blade Runner

Sesame Street: 25 of my favorite memories

I would have to add:

- Harvey Kneeslapper
- The Golden An
- Grover selling Kermit a toothbrush
- The Ladybug Picnic
- The King of 8
- The Alligator King
- Kermit's News Flash stories
- Don Music
- Fat Cat Sat Hat
- Telephone Rock
- The Count sleeping over at Bert & Ernie's apartment...keeping Ernie awake all night with his counting. In the morning, Ernie has these bloodshot, baggy eyes and keeps mumbling numbers in the thousands.

Too bad Noggin stopped showing the classic episodes a couple of years ago. For my daughters, you understand.

EPIC 2014

THE FUTURE IS NOW. Or soon will be, at any rate.

DJ Format / 3 Feet Deep

DJ Format is back with a new video. Video games and the old-school rap sound: an awesome combo. "Hamster!"

But then there is America We Stand as One.

Wow. Just...wow. Parody or sincere schmaltz? You be the judge.

Eastbay USA Pant

"Do you think I got where I am today because I dress like Peter Pan here? Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. Do you think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearin' these bad boys? Forgetaboutit!"

Hello Kitty Stress Test

"You are a serious person always able to control your temper.

Your stress level maintains in a balance level. Though if you deal with high stress, you will become quiet and fear your surroundings. For this type playing with pet will help you release the tension."
