Plastic Man's origins
http://grantbridgestreet.blogspot.com/2010/06/secret-origin-of-plastic-man-by-roy.html
This was great! I like how you have to be observant to pick up all the subtle humor.
For a great book on Plastic Man, and the spirit of comics at that time, pick up:

I thought cell phones killed most people in their cars
So, water in the windshield washer dispenser can kill you.
This is great.
Now I have another thing to worry about.
Report: Water as windshield wiper fluid causes 20% of Legionnaires' Disease cases in UK — Autoblog
Water doesn't melt ice or get the greasy bug guts off well anyway.

Irwin Allen shows on the web
I adore all of his shows, not just "Lost in Space". Thanks to the genius of Hulu, many of them are available for easy consumption: Lost in Space (I watched early on Saturday AM), Land of the Giants (this scared the heck out of me as a kid), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (watched with my grandfather on early cable), and the Time Tunnel (which I only recently finished watching...these didn't seem to get much re-run time in the 70's). He had two other TV shows, but I do not remember them well (Swiss Family Robinson, Code Red).
Hulu has many of them available through this link. Settle down for a cheesy treat!

Space:1999 The Anderson's Biggest Endeavor
Yep, I own them all. You may see more in time...
Here is a link to most of their websites
http://www.space1999.net/
This is a season one intro. These are my favorites.
Compare that with an intro from season two. I like season two but there is a clear desperation to make drastic style changes to avoid cancellation (and cut budgets).
A promo from season two:

This has Buddy Guy (I actually bought him a drink once!) thrown in as a bonus. I will call him "King Buddy" for the day.

North Korea Documentary
I am fascinated with North Korea, and VBS has my favorite documentary to date. Imagine the travel channel mixed with Hunter S. Thompson. This is funny, but at the same time very powerful. You can say what you want about the editorial bent, but the folks from Vice know how to tell a story.

Good Book
A Brown University student transfers to Liberty University to get a better understanding of the fundamentalist culture. This is very well written with a surprisingly high degree of objectivity.

Zappos Shoes
I love Zappos, and have never had a single problem from their end. Ordering the wrong size...that has been my problem. I suspect this post explains part of that satisfaction.

Several pulsars (another kind of star). These vary depending on how fast they spin.

Music incorporating many of these sounds is put out by one of my favorite artists, K.M. Krebs. He releases most of his radio derived work under the name 833-45(the name of a quasar), and the rest under his own name.

This is perhaps one of my favorite recordings ever. However, it's not for everyone.

His blog is wonderful as well. You can contact him directly through his web page. I purchased all his compiled works on one DVD and it was some of the best money I ever spent.

Red Sauce
I think I will give this a shot. It seems rather Zen-like, and I never thought to try it with carrots. I have been using a variety of sweetening agents over the years with varying success. I plan to make several adjustments:
I might add bit of tomato paste
meat (OK..its not a pure red sauce)
I will use a lot of onion in addition to a lot of garlic
some basil would be nice, but I will not use it on the first batch
add several bay leaves
cook the stuff for several hours to increase the richness

Roasted Cherries
We get them for a short time but in great abundance. Beyond the obvious ice cream, this would probably go well with Greek yogurt, homemade biscuits, or even pancakes.

I want one of these
Porchetta di Testa: This delicacy is a pig’s head that has been treated like the traditional porchetta from Tuscany. The meat is seasoned with garlic, rosemary and chili then rolled and tied and then cooked. It is delicious sliced for a sandwich or topped with capers & Parmigiano Reggiano.
