Decided to introduce my 27 and 31 year old kids to this obscure Dick Van Dyke film to celebrate his 100th, and they loved it! Biting satire of America by Norman Lear, similar in many ways (and in some ways superior to) ”It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World.” Bob Newhart, Tom Poston, Bob & Ray! Watch it!

This is the 24” prototype of the Unisphere made by US Steel, as seen in the post below. It was likely commissioned for the 1964 #NYWF approval committee prior to them building the large one. It was later given to Tommy Bartlett, who put on a waterski show at the fair. Source: Darren Bianco

Listening casually and having some flashbacks, particularly on “100% Expendable” and “Building Better Worlds.” Ears pricked up because one of my first vinyl purchases as a teen was Wendy Carlos Williams’ soundtrack for “A Clockwork Orange.”

I think the structure on the right in back is by Rosario Candela, who designed other structures for that world's fair.

Celebrating 50 years of #JAWS by sharing a rare photo of yours truly. Taken at Universal Studios in 1975, shortly after the film release. There was no JAWS ride yet, but they did have an area with the massive phone and scissors from “Land of the Giants.”

I don’t know what to say about this. Bill Moyers, rest well my friend. Not only the conversation with Maurice Sendak, but the short interview with reporter Helen Thomas. So much prescience for this time. So human. I am humbled.

Wanted to share the wall shelf I recently installed to display my vintage #tiki inspired figurines and salt & pepper sets. Pretty proud I managed this almost entirely one-handed, while recovering from finger surgery. I’m in earthquake country so these are all secured with museum putty.
