Thanks, Ken!

Jalopybl0g: journal of an obsessive
car-rehabber 09/01/2004 01:43 PM
Cory Doctorow: HooptyRides is a new blog from "Mr Jalopy," an anonymous friend of mine whom I consider to be one of the best, most engaging obsessive writers I know. He's taken to refurbing beautiful old jalopies, and his lyrical and nutso descriptions of his loves are delightful.

To increase automotive safety, I installed seat belts and Jesus tapestry reupholstery. The seats are top quality vinyl with extremely desirable Jesus tapestries. The tapestries are not a matched set, but they go together very nicely. I have a great deal of reverence for this automobile, for Johnny Cash, for the settling of the West, for the big giant huge grandeur of Rocky Mountains, for the buffalo, for the railroads, for exploration and the Grapes of Wrath. I bought this car in Wyoming and drove it to Los Angeles. I was so grateful for the trip and for the arrival, so relieved it was over and so disappointed to hit the Pacific Ocean with nowhere else to go, that I felt, these seat covers, this overarching presence in the front seat was the perfect answer to the trip taken. I have tried to explain this when asked in parking lots. It is a feeling that you get when driving in hailstorms in Yellowstone and under a layer of dust in Zion, it does not translate to Von's parking lot. When they ask, just say, 'Yes, I love Jesus.'

Obsessive Star Wars concordance

Here's a nice, idiosyncratic concordance of interesting stuff in frame in the first (historically)/fourth (narratively) Star Wars movie:

My Dinner With Owen -- Things to spot:
There is a blue treadwell droid wandering in the background. Cybot Galactica manufactures the WED15 units as general purpose machinery maintenance droids.

When Luke says "It's a whole 'nother year" you can hear birds in the background.

Shelagh (Aunt Beru) Fraser's voice is painfully dubbed over, particularly in the Hif Fi Pan & Scan and THX versions. I've heard rumors that is was changed because she had too heavy an Irish accent or that her dialogue was too soft-spoken on locati

One man's obsessive collection of links
and info on culture... 09/23/2004 07:38 PM
Some of the things you can find at Jan Geerinck's Jahsonic.com: A history of disco, "black music", punk, and other genres; extensive writes-ups on media, erotica, art, history, and cinema (broken down into voyeurism, gay, world, Japanese, postmodern, underground, European, and trash cinema, among others); and of course, a blog. Also interesting are the keyword entries for words such as genre, sex, drugs, fiction, cult, taste, etc.

Pretty SFW, but there may be a few film stills or paintings that are iffy.
