Amazon affiliate no more
I’ve removed the Amazon Affiliate ad that used to run over on the right hand sidebar. Apparently the state in which I live, Speaking of the beast: belated thanks to the kind reader who sent the pulp art book off the Wish List a few weeks back! posted by

And now, your moment of geek
What a great image, on so many levels. Not sure where I ran across it originally, just found it the other day while cleaning off my desktop. Judging from the shadows, it’s either the start of the day or the end of it, as the men who built the Enterprise stand outside their workshop in some nonsdescript industrial neighborhood in Los Angeles, maybe waiting to crate their handiwork off to the studio. A couple of signifying details (which my fellow geeks will readily spot) identify this as the model built for the first pilot, which puts this at about 1964. They’re standing with one of the single most enduring icons of popular culture, but nobody knows it yet. Update: on the internet, someone always knows the answer. It’s a workshop in Burbank, in December, 1964. Probably looking northeast, which would make it early evening. posted by

Friedmanisms
Who, besides Thomas Friedman, could come up with prose like this:
Those signs will be wordier than a Tom Tomorrow cartoon — and in two languages, no less. Also, this:
