Wow Spaceships!

From Boingboing.

UPDATE:

Now in an extended edition from the space nerds at r/space. They add more ships and a tiny human for scale which is great. But they also organize the projects by country, unpleasantly reminding me of the nationalism these space programs are meant to inspire. But look! How cool!

My parents. They do the most unbelievably generous things for me. There is no thank you wide enough to cover what they do to keep me going. But thank you anyway Mom and Dad. For this and everything.

Obliteration Room

Kids let loose in a whitewashed room with packs of colored dot stickers and the instructions: put them anywhere. It’s an installation by artist Yayoi Kusama.

Old New York

McSorley’s Old Ale House is pictured on East 7th Street on October 7, 1942

The Daily Mail has published a nice set of Kodachrome slides taken on New York streets in the 1940s. Seeing and 88 year old McSorley’s is cool, but nothing beats the antique photos on Shorpy.

Quick searches there turn up hundreds of fabulous photos from Brooklyn and New York City.  But there are some western gems to be found as well, including one of my favorites, a photo of Wisdom, Montana that shows off an exemplary Kodachrome sky. (Click to make it BIG.)
