A Kodachrome photo of Picadilly Circus, London, in 1949. More here.

Boing Boing posted this little gem from There, I Fixed It. Are those letters red electrical tape?

Married To The Sea is one great webcomic. I would post a lot more here if it wasn’t such bad form, because I was really undecided about which illustration I should pick. So I settled for the seagulls. Living in a city where seagulls are a health hazard, I really believe that’s what they mean while they chatter overhead. (via Drive-by Blogging)
I really dig Xplanes’ Sunday Fantasy feature. This is a Goodyear advertisement published right after the end of World War II in Europe. Why are airships such a cliché in positive views of The Future? Perhaps because airships are quiet and gentle.
I beg to differ: In my opinion, if airships ever become a common feature of our skies, that only means we’ve really scorched our atmosphere for good.

Hm. Perhaps I can, actually.

I can’t explain my fascination over this image. But it stays with me. (via Pedro Quintas)

An interesting post about the Bullitt car chase sequence. It’s incredible that forty-two years later it still is considered the greatest chase ever put to film, and in fact I’m hard pressed to think of car chases as great as the one on Pater Yates’ film. I can only remember William Friedkin’s The French Connection or John Frankenheimer’s Ronin — that generation of directors must have had a special knack for staging chases. (via the very interesting Selvedge Yard)

…then again — a good reminder. Perhaps I’ll print and frame this. (via Pedro Quintas)
