Oh, those crazy Vegetarians...

Image from Kaufmann Mercantile. Love it. And meat.

Here's another nice one from KM, the George Nelson Flip Clock. I've always enjoyed flip clocks, but this on takes it to a whole other level. Classy. So often they're encased in plastic, here the mechanics are part of the design, rather than just the functional back end.

If I were ever to spend $1000+ on a turntable, these would be high on my list. Pretty.

This recording of LBJ ordering some custom Haggar pants is a pretty great listen. He is very specific in the changes he wants in the waist, pockets, and crotch, even though he does deem the ones he already has to be "the best that I've had anywhere in the United States." Thanks to A Continuous Lean for linking to that gem.

Apparently they've printed a new 35mm copy of RoboCop. I tried to convince John that it would be a good idea to run it, but I'm pretty sure I'll get back to work down there and see that it is not on the calendar. I had no idea that there was a new one in the works, to be directed by Darren Aronofsky... Interesting

We do have Wall•E on calendar at the Orig for a few days though, which is a great idea. I haven't really talked about it, but I think Wall•E, and it's subsequent, not beating you over the head, but being being very artistic and clever marketing and aftermarket campaigns is awesome. This review of it is pretty much bang on to how I feel about the film itself, and I used a pared down version of it in the quide, to try to attract the crowd I think we should try to attract. As to the marketing/aftermarket campaigns, check out these promo post cards, and this book. Oh, and this Little Golden Book, done, more or less, in Little Golden Book style too!

I should probably get down to work now...

What a fine set of wheels! That right there is circa 1920, via Shorpy, which , if you've never been heard of it, is "The 100 Year-Old Photo Blog." It's chock full of amazing pictures from days gone by. Some are user submitted, and some are from national archives. My favourite photographer on the site? Jack Delano. Hands down.
(Not sure where I first heard about Shorpy. I'm betting Draplin.)

I can't ever find Readymade at the Zehrs near my house anymore, and I always forget to go elsewhere to pick it up, but I was pleased when I grabbed it this week and saw there was a feature about Somthing's Hiding in Here's super cute apartment.

Some real nice things from Grain Edit today:
M is for Modern: Alphabet Flashcards - really nice stuff. Yes, yet another thing I wouldn't mind owning.
So Much Pileup - A new blog by one of the guys behind Burlesque of North America. Definitely immediately subscribed to that one and am eagerly awaiting future posts.

Something I kind of forgot about until a conversation with Josh last night: In car turntables. And, a slot loading one. Genius, those.
