I think I’ve featured this snappy happy song at least twice before. It’s been more than ten years, and yet it still doesn’t have a million views?? That’s just wrong!

A silent video with Milton Caniff at age 50. Some of his reference materials are shown, including small models and fashion photos of women. As you can see, Caniff’s preferred inking tool was a brush, as is mine, and he was lefty, as is yours truly.

WFMU’s Beware of the Blog is no longer being updated, but thankfully its uniquely informative and entertaining content is still online. On this page is the story behind Buddy Holly doing an end run around Paul Cohen, the a-hole who ran Decca Records at the time.
Holly called Cohen with a request, and Buddy was told he’s screwed. Then Cohen immediately turned around and asked Buddy for his trust! Listen for yourself, as recorded by Buddy, and you can imagine what his thoughts were. Holly’s lack of respect for Cohen, by calling him Paul, is a good indicator.
Drew Carey played this yesterday on his Friday Night Freak-Out.

Something I posted four years ago that’s worth repeating, now that the video of the movie has been replaced with a fresh HD copy. A part of Acorn Computer became ARM, the leading designer of processors for mobile computing:
At the same time the competition between Microsoft and Apple was beginning, in England there was the computer rivalry between Sinclair and Acorn. I think somewhere in the basement I still have my tiny Sinclair Z80 computer, which was distributed in America by Timex. This 2009 movie, featuring Martin Freeman, is a lot of fun and well worth watching.
