Young Chemist=plague. Brilliant. I shudder to think what would have happened to me as a youngster if I'd been able to get my hands on some of the things that I wanted. (Thanks, Dan!) Wednesday, November 21, 2007

We were watching Goldfinger yesterday, and were puzzling over the scene in which Goldfinger's car gets loaded into a plane, from the front. Turns out the plane in question was the Aviation Traders Carvair. Update: One of the two airworthy examples of this aircraft remaining crashed earlier this year. You can watch a video of this plane in happier times here. Labels: aviation Monday, November 12, 2007

In order to settle an argument about pneumatic tubes, I dragged out my set of Sears and Roebuck Stereo Cards. Googling to find a date for the cards, I learned that Edgar Rice Burroughs had worked in the steno department back then, and drew some fine cartoons. Lots more stereocards here. (Ignore the first paragraph in the "Viewing 3D on a computer monitor" section, however. It's wrong. The second method is correct.) Thursday, November 08, 2007
