Mad Men Yourself Thanks to Donna for this find! Today is the birthday anniversary of Norman Rockwell; one of my favorite artists. Rockwell, was born on February 3 1894. This is one of my favorite Saturday Evening Post covers. This is from the December 16, 1939 issue. Notice the subtle halo around Santa’s head.
Today is G.I. Joe’s birthday! Joe was introduced by Hasbro on this day back in 1964. G.I. Joe stood for “Government Issue Joe”. There were originally four figures launched; one for each branch of the Armed Forces. I had a few G.I. Joe’s. I wish I still had them. One of my favorites was the Astronaut and Capsule. I just did a quick search on eBay. There is one going for $200! Found this on Youtube. It’s an ad against Internet Censorship in Australia. I just stumbled across this and had to post it! Vertibird was one of my all time favorite toys when I was a kid. It’s a helicopter with real blades that flies in circles around a central hub. The helicopter is attached by a thin metal support rod and a rotating drive cable. From the control panel, the operator can adjust the rotor speed and the flight direction using two levers. It had a hook to pick up various objects. You don’t see them today, probably because they were likely taking kids eyes out. Although you can still get them on eBay. I played with this toy for hours until one day my brother decided to stop on it. I was devastated. Anyway, I stumbled across this 3D Vertibird Simulator this evening. I installed it and have been playing it for a while. Although I have to say I was a lot better at the real thing. Firefox what happened to you? You used to be my favorite browser. I promoted you on every blog, forum, and website I created. Now look at you. You’re a bloated resource hog slower than IE. You’ve become the very thing you were created to eliminate! Although you are still on my desktop, I find myself using Chrome, Safari, and Opera more and more often. I am not sure what happened, but I hope you find your way back. Until then, I will keep you shortcut icon on my desktop just in case. Did you know Bubble Wrap® is officially 50 years old today? Bubble Wrap was originally conceived as a funky wallpaper! Did you also know, that just like Kleenex®, Band-Aid®, and Q-tips®, Bubble Wrap is a band name? To celebrate the golden anniversary, the makers of Bubble Wrap, Sealed Air Corporation, will produce a special limited run of gold Bubble Wrap. Here is another way to celebrate the virtues of Bubble Wrap: VirtualBubbleWrap.com This is the first episode of Superman produced by Fleischer Studios released on September 26, 1941. The film was nominated for an Academy Award in 1942 and Max and Dave Fleischer went on to produce eight more Superman shorts. |
