Black+White Movies

If you’re into old movies, check out Black and White movies (search by year, genre and title letter). They even have Young Frankenstein (the only 70′s move)

Like a former post on documentaries, Doc Heaven has  alist of various free documentaries. Like a random list of films, some are more worth watching than others.

If you missed it, Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy has begun. Short films by the man behind Family Guy and American Dad. Nothing that you’ll literally split your sides over, but they’re free.

YYZ!

You haven’t heard Rush’s YYZ until you’ve heard (and seen) it played by an 11-year old on the keyboard.

Sugar mommies, daddies and babies

My brilliant plan is to quit my job and find myself a sugar mommy (sister site). I would not be mentioning this or even know of this site if it were not for NPR’s Marketplace. Classic!

Simpson Family Values

The Vanity Fair article “Simpson Family Values” has quotes from pretty much anyone ever involved on the show. An interesting read, even if you think the show’s sucked since season 9.

If anyone can point to a better Flash firework display app., please do. The only remotely decent one I can find is still this one from 2002. (I did visit Fireworks.com, but I just can’t get into their displays.

Next Phase of Personal Computers

Do you reminisce about old-school table-top arcade games? Dig the movie “Minority Report”‘s Techie scenes? Have easy access to $5000 and $10,000? Microsoft’s new ‘surface’ PC will satisfy your needs when it’s released this winter. Reminds me of NYU’s Jeff Han’s similar project. If you’re in NYC on June 9, go to the Sheraton NY Hotel and Towers for a public viewing of SURFACE. The Seattle PI has videos not shown on the MS site.

I assume those who don’t get UK-BBC will have the chance to see BBC’s Panaorama’s “Scientology And Me” (Mon 14 May, 8:30 pm – 9:00 pm; you see can see their latest shows here) online.

In the meantime, catch the segment reporter hard at work and the same reporter chatting with a church spokesman.
