This trailer is wonderful, because it shows how delicate his works are, and how they can easily fall apart.

I love Astrotrain. Yet, I don’t have any of his figures anymore. They just cost too much. $50 and upwards. No thanks. If there was an Astrotrain for $20 or under, I’d be tempted to get it. I wonder where…

Making iced coffee with iceberg lettuce, because transitive logic told me so.

I just happened to catch William Shatner’s conversation with Jeff Bezos just after landing from his outer space trip. William Shatner had some good words to share with Bezos just after walking out of the module. Shatner had some profound…

Trying a new mechanical pencil.

I’m working on my front porch watching a woodpecker climb up our large Slippery Elm (aka Red Elm). It kinda scoots along the tree, looks in the bark, scoots along some more, looks in the bark. The way it scoots,…

A friend, Leigh Hanlon, shared a post with me on Facebook with the question: “Does a paper’s quality affect how you use it — and how creative you are?“ An interesting notion. Does cheaper paper allow you to be more…

I probably enjoy the "Swing Batta Swing" album a bit too much.

Yves Klein made a completely blue stamp and used it as postage on an invite for a 1958 show. A single perforated postage stamp painted with Klein’s famous IKB (International Klein Blue) pigment. The stamps were originally created to use…
