Mark Frauenfelder:
The LA Times has a wonderful obituary for a bit actor named Steve
Wayne (
Bedtime for Bonzo,
Dragnet, Cisco
Kid), who died at the age of 84. For the last quarter century of
his life, Wayne was monomaniacally focused on tearing down fliers that
were posted on walls and buildings.
Over the last two decades, Wayne tore down thousands of
illegal fliers tacked on fences, traffic lights and utility poles. His
quest was endless, like trying to wipe out gnats one swat at a time...
He began climbing up poles and clawing at the unwanted ads with a
garden rake, or going after them while perched on the hood of a moving
car with an accomplice at the wheel. But as fast as he tore them down,
new ones would replace them...
In 1980 he was so upset by the proliferation of handbills for the
Roxy, Troubadour and Whiskey a Go Go nightclubs that he spray-painted
"Keep L.A. Clean" on the outsides of the famous establishments. He was
arrested on suspicion of malicious vandalism, a charge that could have
brought jail time and a steep fine...
He kept at it nearly up to the day he died, stopping to rip down
signs "even when coming home from his chemo appointments," his
daughter, Cathy Wayne, said in an interview.

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome
08/19/2004 07:35 AM
See, I saw that
Epson had released a new model of their "World's Lightest Micro-Flying
Robot" - you know, the one that was a big deal late last year - and
thought, "We've already talked about that. Nobody will be interested."
I was wrong, according to the emails, though, so I guess I better
mention it. The biggest difference between the old model and the new
one is that the update appears to be running untethered, although it
still flies with a bit of a wobble. It's too small to be used outside,
but I wouldn't be surprised to see some implementation of these
available for purchase soon. Although they have serious uses, too -
investigating accident scenes, etc. - with the Bluetooth and built-in
camera, it would make a perfect office toy, until you were fired for
industrial espionage.
Also, could the girl in the video be any less excited?

Figure Eight Train Racing
Figure Eight Train Racing
03/26/2005 09:53 PMI stumbled across something on SpeedTV today that has to
be seen to be believed: figure-eight train racing. Not real trains
— three cars lashed together to act like a train.
The first car is the only powered car. Usually something big, old,
and American — mid seventies Monte Carlos seemed quite popular. The
driver of this car steers and works the throttle. The car has no
brakes.
Attached to the back of the first car by chains and a tow bar is
the middle car, which has nothing. No engine, no brakes, no driver.
Just an empty shell.
Attached to the back of that by chains is the caboose. No engine,
no steering, but it has brakes and a driver. God help him.
Now, take eight of these perversions of automotive theory and put
them on a figure eight track. Seriously. Then race them for 10
laps.
The race I watched ended with no hits in the crossover, which
surprised me. What's amazing is watching the caboose get whipped
around like a rag doll. The rear driver is supposed to be able to put
some tension on the train by using the brake, but I couldn't see any
difference. Any quick steering movement up front got wildly
exaggerated by the time it rippled back to the rear and that guy was
just along for the ride.
I wish I had a picture to show you, but a few minutes of Googling
turned up nothing. Half of me thinks the whole thing was just a
nightmare.

could do it again?
Well, you can, although now it has the ominous sounding name of
"Extreme Gravity Racing" and some high-powered competitors, like this entry
from Porsche. (As much as I like Porsche, the Volvo entry is
perhaps the coolest-looking of the bunch.)
