I look out in the distance and see kids jumping up at the Tie-Fighters assembled by the fence. My camera autofocus makes four of them (Tie-Fighters) light up as I snap the picture.

Host: It's Tie-Fighter Tuesday!
Me: Tuesday?
Host: Indulge me, I'm old.

Ann Arbor Schools Rec & Ed program for Spring 2013, page 34 uses an image with a watermark. But someone changed the url in the watermark to www.XXXXXXX.com? If they went to that trouble, why didn’t they just edit out the watermark completely?

Even if putting a watermarked image in a catalog is an innocent mistake, it sure looks icky, edited or not.

(By the way, it looks like that xURL is active. Click at your own risk.)

mydaguerreotypeboyfriend:

Samuel Clemens (a.k.a Mark Twain), age 15, 1850. Daguerreotype taken when he was a printer in Hannibal, Missouri.

Check out that baller belt-buckle! Are you as cool as fifteen-year-old Sam?

Update: That’s not a buckle! From a reader on Facebook: “He’s holding, with his right hand on its pistol grip (remember, these images are reversed), a typesetter’s composing stick, in which the metal type for his name are inserted, ready to print. He was smart enough to know that the image would be reversed, and thus show correctly in the photo!”

For my printer friends…

Love the structural quality of these shoes. I’d never ever ever wear them.

Reference: PBS Newshour Quiz

So I took this quiz, and because I grew up in a working class neighborhood, I apparently am completely aware of what life is like for “mainstream America.”

Yeah, right. Living in a working class neighborhood 35 years ago somehow has given me a lifetime resistance to “super snobbery”? Perhaps so… perhaps I’m only a little snobby on occasion, you know, because I’ve been inoculated.
