Ephemera: Are you a Tiki fan?
If you are - like the eminent MrBaliHai of Eye of the Goof - a Tiki* fan, you will surely love Arkiva Tropika which is loaded with great Tiki ephemera like beautiful menus, place mats, postcards and match covers from different Tiki restaurants, bars, hotels and clubs...

Vintage photos: Cushman's day at the circus
"Charles Weever Cushman, amateur photographer and Indiana University alumnus, bequeathed approximately 14,500 Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater. The photographs in this collection bridge a thirty-two year span from 1938 to 1969, during which time he extensively documented the United States as well as other countries.
Indiana University's Digital Library Program and the Indiana University Archives invite you to explore what Cushman saw. Here you can view his photographs as well as read contextual information about Cushman's life and work."

You might have seen this before - I did. But I came across it once more today and it blew me away even more this time. See how this monster of a robot - It kind of reminds me of two thin-legged guys with large backpacks stuck to each others heads - makes its way across snowy hills, ice, rocky ground and it even jumps over stuff...

Blogger: Where do all the images go?
?A question for bloggers or others who would know: If you like me publish most of your images in your blog by using the upload button in the blogger interface - in other words not using a separate tool - then where do all the images go? Well, I'm not really interested in the technological aspect I just want to know if I can find them. If I haven't named them for instance "Martin Klasch number 985" etc, is there anyway of searching for them in Google?
The monkeybunny image to the right that I originally called "A1" was given the name "http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m0YtPN5vgmI/R-pzeuG7EeI/AAAAAAAAC2w/... ...QdFIQgP3nAw/s1600-h/A1.jpg" by Blogger. So I guess that is where it is. But is this blog identified there in anyway? If it is it should be possible to find the rest of the images. Shouldn't it?

Music: Birgit Lystager, part II
A couple of years ago I recommended an out-of-print album rip with singer Birgit Lystager - "a Danish cross between Astrud Gilberto and Karen Carpenter with really artily written and composed pop songs...".
That album is of course no longer available - however - Ponytone let's us listen to a number of Birgit Lystager songs from the years 1967-1983. Let's go.
