Davey and Goliath Action Figures

review_dg_2.jpgHere is a review of Davey and Goliath action figures that I found amusing since I haven’t really thought about this show in years. That was a pretty weird show. Back in the late 70s when I was a prepubescent cynic, we didn’t have cable. This was a problem come Sunday morning and out of the nine channels we had, eight of them were showing news or Sunday Mass. The only thing closely resembling a cartoon was Davey and Goliath. Looking back on it now I can’t believe that the Evangelical Lutheran Church had a complete monopoly over Sunday morning children’s tv shows. Would it have killed a different channel to put on Superfriends? I forget now but did anybody else in that cartoon hear the dog talk or was it just Davey? Personally that dog kind of creeped me out. In fact, if somebody asked me what one thing more than any made me agnostic I think I would have to say Davey and Goliath. Oh yes, and Sally. We mustn’t forget Sally.

Mt. St. Helen’s Update

If you haven’t visited the Mt. St. Helen’s webcam yet now is the time to do it. By the way, how come whenever I read the reports where they mention hot magma, I end up reading it with Dr. Evil’s voice in my head.

Wooster Collective : A Celebration of Street Art

A blog of street art. A quick warning though, this site is huge and could easily consume a few hours of your time.

Tommy Westphall’s Mind – A Multiverse Explored

This is a fascinating look at how tv shows are connected. An excel spreadsheet is included of course.

This page began simply as a list of crossover appearances by characters from HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET on other programs and characters from other programs appearing on HOMICIDE. (See: Random Acts of HOMICIDE below)

Then came the realisation that the Fontana-verse (named after HOMICIDE producer Tom Fontana) was bigger than we had realised. ST. ELSEWHERE – which had a direct crossover with H:LOTS – had many connections to other TV shows. And cross-pollenating H:LOTS with Dick Wolf’s LAW & ORDER franchise bred even more connections.

Who is Tommy Westphall? Given that the connections in this multiverse cover 164 (yes, one-hundred and sixty-four!) series across six decades – from 1951 to the present – the question of how to name this grid became increasingly difficult.

Tommy Westphall was an austistic child on ST ELSEWHERE who, it was revealed in the closing moments of the final episode of that series, had dreamt the entire run of the show. So if ST ELSEWHERE is part of his mind, so are the 163 other series to which it is connected.

Urballoon

Urballoon is an urban media space: a balloon equipped with a projector and wireless connection to the web that enables people to submit content online and broadcast it in public spaces.

The balloon is located in the entrance of City Hall Park in New York as part of the Spectropolis event (October 1- 3, 2004).

The ball is tethered and floats at a height of approximately 3 stories. The images and text submitted via this site are projected directly below it.

Museum of Unusual LP Cover Art

I’m a sucker for a bizarre cover, a great cheesecake cover or something that just plain is so cool that you know you’ll never see it again. I have to snap these up. Partly because I want to archive as many of these kinds of covers as I can, before they disappear forever. They don’t make ‘em anymore, you know. The other reason is that these big 12″ X 12″ pieces of art really are just that — art.
It’s a crying shame that those little CD covers will never have this kind of impact.

300 Love Letters

374rachelknight.jpg

So: what is this project really about? Of course, it’s about love, and relationships, which anyone who knows me can tell you are about the only things that I’m interested in. Well, not the only things, but two of the main ones. At the start I had one very simple goal: by the end of this project I wanted to be able to write a love letter to anyone, a stranger on the street, or someone that I have nothing but scorn for. I wanted to be able to pull out and vocalize the small thread connecting me to them, them to me, the something in them that I found beautiful or real and the something between us that existed beneath everything, acknowledged or unacknowledged, forgotten gestures and moments, strange and rare affinities.

As soon as he delivered the poland line, I knew that someone was registering it as a domain name.

Oh and then there is this.
