In “Selling the Computer Revolution“, the Computer History Museum has an excellent archive of computer marketing materials. Some of these would make excellent gig posters, I do say. (Some more than others, natch.)

My first foray into the world of sleeve facing. This one was quick and dirty. I expect better work in the future.

Looks like my blogging habits will be forever changed/damaged/cured by twitter…..LET’S SEE!
There are so many nooks & crannies on the internet filled with dopeness. It is always a pleasure to fall into another.

Laughed out loud on the subway at this line: “The Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James acknowledged driving 101 miles an hour on the highway on his 23rd birthday, and he gave no assurance he would not go that fast again.”
Happily stumbled across a new favorite blog, one-minute sketches of subway commuters.

I think the word the AP is struggling for is “penis”
One acrylic-on-canvas work titled “Tulip Butts” shows the red imprint of a backside representing the open petals of a tulip with an imprint between them from an adjacent body part that represents a flower’s stamen.

At apophenia “pointer remixing“:
We craft our identity through pointing all the time. Language is mostly about pointers (”signs”). The list of favorite TV shows, movies, and music on social network sites are a linguistic pointer to these cultural referents. Yet, in a multimedia world, instead of having to just reference them by name, I can [...]

crayons
via Maud.
bonus points for making me wonder if I say “cray-on” or “cran”. I think something closer to “cran”, but not quite.
They built it. I may come.

Nicolai Ouroussoff, writing for the New York Times, likes the changes at Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins
The waiting is over. Mr. Holl’s breathtaking addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, opening here on June 9, is his most mature work to date, a perfect synthesis of ideas that he has been refining for more than a decade. [...]

Kurt Andersen takes his Studio 360 podcast to Omaha focusing on its arts & music “scene”. On the web site, there is a marked-up google map with some extra video & audio, including this broadcast from my favorite theater from back in the day, the former Cinerama theater Indian Hills (now a parking lot). Equally [...]

I’m about halfway through the paperback of former NY Times executive editor Joseph Lelyveld’s Omaha Blues: A Memory Loop. So far, so good -though Omaha doesn’t play many roles in this memoir other than being the place Lelyveld defines himself as being from (no small role, though) – a memory of being from somewhere [...]

The Gaurdian reports “The novellist Ian McEwan has discovered that a bricklayer is the older brother he never knew he had, following the man’s quest to uncover his roots.”, but the real juicy part is in the correction: “The novelist Ian McEwan was educated in a state school, not a private one”.

And it is Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
But the question is still fun. Babies are Fireproof posed the question: What are the 10 most recognizable album covers? (Presumably of ALL TIME). I’m still undecided on mine.
But it got me thinking that records1 are unique in this regard. For the most part, each has [...]

On the one hand, writers:
The real writers, you don’t even know them. The only writers that you hear about are fake fucks. All those guys are real peanut. Most writers that are real won’t take shit from no one. In other words, we’re free. In order to be a real artist, you have to be [...]

To raise funds for the First Amendment Project, a number of authors are auctioning off a spot in an upcoming work for Your Name. Of course, there are disclaimers, so sucks if your name is Jane Eyre or Ben Dover. Some of those selling out are (fellow Omaha expat??) Chris Ware and the Bay Area’s [...]

At his blog, David Bynre ponders, “If I were to translate the image of Kate Moss snorting up a line into a sculpture, or even a painting, would I owe Ms. Moss some money or permission?… Or would I only owe the photographer who took the tabloid image?” Ahhh…the thought experiments inspired by copyright laws…
