I’m a proponent of this theory. Actually I’ve been relating a version of this to my friends for years, though my region was a bit more restrictive than this one. The gist is, the only good pizza is from a narrow area centered on the tri-state area on the east coast. It’s true, and if you try and tell me your Chicago deep dish matches up, I’ll wave a greasy sausage in your general direction and suggest you lack taste.

So this is the best thing I’ve seen this week – a full Zeppelin concert from 1970, when they played at the Royal Albert Hall. The video and audio quality is pretty good (bearing in mind that this was shot 43 years ago…) , and it’s Zeppelin heading into (or some might argue right at) their peak. My ardor for them has cooled some since my high school days, but this is still a fantastic rock n roll band doing their thang. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed:
(I should mention that I found this over at http://musictonic.com/music , which is a treasure trove of curated music content).
A couple of weeks ago I bought a new waterproof camera (a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS5A) to replace my aging Pentax Optio, in preparation for my annual camping trip on Lake George. Yesterday I noticed the price had dropped by $50 on Amazon’s site. One quick, somewhat automated support email later and I had a $50 refund. There are reasons Amazon’s the number one online retailer, this being one of them.
(the camera’s great so far – excellent image quality, nearly instant bootup time, and a host of cool new features, gps being the one I’m most pleased with)
….have reduced everyone’s access to the books that are subject to the extensions? I hope not – while there may be some benefit to living artists, I continue to believe that as a whole, this is such a huge net negative for civilization (and no, I’m not being overly dramatic) that we should be out in the streets throwing bricks around. Here’s a great piece on the atlantic that has a graph that captures everything you need to know – a whole era’s literature is falling into a black hole.
