YouTube can now take you back in time. You can go to this link and then pick a year, and see videos from that year. It’s pretty cool, check out 1903, I didn’t even know they had video back then.

People send me jokes, all the time. Some funny, some not so much. A large percentage are blond jokes … interesting. Anyhow, here’s a bunch of play-on-words sent to me. I hope they make you go hmmm.

Artist John Riepenhoff has created a piece that doesn’t look like a pizza, it is a pizza. I thought that making a pizza was done by a cook. I’m assuming there will now be a pizza cook making a sculpture or a painting and calling it dinner. The Artist’s site here, the news article here.

I’ve always been intrigued by religion. The icons that it has generated, the devil, angels, god—symbols of morality.

We’ve all seen those flight attendants go through the safety dance, showing us where the exits are and how to use the air mask. It’s a boring experience. So are the videos on the large carriers, and if you’re in Canada—seeing it in both French and English can be painful. Good design considers the user of a product or service and makes a good experience. Advertisers have known this for years, you can’t bore someone into buying a product. Virgin Airlines has looked at the smallest detail of the boring video and taken the opportunity to stand out and make it an enjoyable experience. This video is an great example of good design enriching your experience and making it memorable. Boring is memorable too, but why not make things less so.

There’s a museum  dedicated to bad art. Imagine finally getting your work in a gallery, only to find out it was this one.

I noticed a familiar symbol being used as a logo on a local politician’s website here. I recognize the circular logo, I saw it on a t-shirt advertising by another company the other day. Then it hit me—why, it’s the on/off button on computers everywhere. If you see someone else using it as a logo, let me know and I’ll post them. I want to see how many people are using this image seen everywhere around the world millions of times a day, and I wonder about the copyright issues on such an ubiquitous image.

Sal Khan is doing amazing things. He has produced by himself a library of 1,600 instructional videos. The fact that all you need is an internet connection and you can learn Math, Science, and other stuff for free. Altruism is still alive.

I’m processing an album of my wife’s late moms family photos. It’s weird, the costumes have changed, but the people are the same as today. I may post more of these, but here’s one I call pride, the only notation in the wax paper holding the pictures down is “David”.

I’m not big on blonde jokes, but this one is too funny too pass up. Just replace blonde with brunette or Latvian, or whateverrr …

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little yellow bug and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.

The blonde cop asked to see the blonde’s driver’s license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. “What does it look like”?’ she finally asked.

The policewoman replied, “It’s square and it has your picture on it”.

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it, and handed it to the policewoman. “Here it is,” she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, “Okay, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a cop” .
