I've Been Telling Them To Do This for Years!

The last suggestion in this Boing-Boing story that is - just stamp out some authentic 1965 Mustangs!

This was the car I drove in high school - a '65, 3-speed 289 mil-chocolate brown Mustang

Scary, Pervy Cupcakes

When Nancy, our good pal from Cloverdale, came down on Wednesday for our weekly dinner and cacha game, we scared her with some of these creepy orange cupcakes we'd made for Halloween Week.  They were yummy!

An actual encounter with the man of clay himself.

Back in 2007, CW Nevius asked, "What's In a Name? Just Ask the Namer"

During business hours, I'm known as a freelance namer and name consultant.  Chuck Nevius from the SF Chronicle interviewed me about the job back in 2007.  I've since gotten a haircut.

With a h/t to boing-boing.net, some excellent Bo Diddley:

Hey, Martha, it's a blog.

Here's a link to the YouTube page of the first episode of the late-60s "Batman" TV series.  If you're watching, listening, or doing something else, and like to have something nice playing for the corner of your eye, try this.  Play this video, full-screen it, and here's the important part - turn off the sound.  Without all the dumb,  "campy" late-60s dialogue, the visuals and off-kilter camerawork really do carry a lot of the original mystery and menace of the character's comic roots, from the decades before the series.  As each episode nears the end of its 25-minute playtime, an on-screen link comes up for the next consecutive episode.  I think I know what I'm doing for the next 64 half-hours!  The only downside is that there is quite a lot of the pesky Robin - though in Season three, there's also the wonderful Yvonne Craig as Batgirl!
