I adore being in charge; or, BSC #24: Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise

September 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Songs | No Comments

This book really should’ve been called “Kristy and the Mom Jeans.” Cause check these babies out: Plus, she looks like she’s wearing tons of blush. All the little kiddies look a little crazy. The gist: The BSC, in their complete lack of wisdom, decide to take a small army of children for a day as a special Mother’s Day gift for a bunch of Stoneybrook moms, including a few of their own. See, it all starts cause they’re all (except poor, poor Mary Anne) stumped for Mom’s Day presents. So, th

Now with 30 percent more posting power!

September 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Photos | No Comments

Like the Muscle Beach denizens above I have now been granted the strength to post even more photographic history online, described here in what may be fairly called the greatest blog post ever written in all of human history, or at least since there have been blogs. Yes, I have joined the team of the renowned culture blog If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There’d Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats . I haven’t posted any photos there yet because the announcement just went up but I look forward

Playing with Numbers: Apple Hails 2 Billion Downloads

September 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Books | No Comments

Keep in mind I was on the record very early saying that Apple’s App Store was going to be a big game changer. That bit of history refreshed, I wish I had the temerity to play with numbers in my business the way Apple does with its App Store. Today Apple is trumpeting that it has over 85,000 apps available in the App store and that consumers have downloaded over 2 billion of those apps. Both are big marks and deserve to be celebrated, but I don’t think anyone believes the numbers tell the ent

Judge Nixes Google Book Hearings, As Copyright Negotiations Continue

September 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Books | No Comments

Google’s drive to create the online library and bookstore of the future is being delayed indefinitely after the judge overseeing a controversial settlement with the world’s authors and publishers over copyright issues postponed an upcoming hearing, citing opposition from the U.S. and foreign governments. Federal district court judge Denny Chin canceled the so-called fairness hearing on October 7, since Google is currently re-negotiating the agreement with the plaintiffs. Those negotiations ov

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

September 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Photos | No Comments

The stars come out to celebrate I am an American Day in 1951. It’s not the same as the Fourth of July but it was at the Hollywood Bowl and made for better pictures so I’m rolling with it. And - AND - as luck would have it, I AM an American, although I’ve never celebrated this holiday to my knowledge. But the stars came out to celebrate including Yvonne DeCarlo, Lana Turner (with George Richter) and Emcee Van Johnson (with Frank Fontaine). Have a Happy Fourth to all you States dwellers

Praying for Our Children's Future

September 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Pictures | No Comments

In this third post on praying for our children, I wanted to touch on praying for their future. I start by praying for their immediate future. For example, with school starting back next week, I pray for each of the girls to have a good friend in their class who will encourage them to do right. I pray for upcoming tests, recitals or other performances, that our child would have God’s peace and recall of the things they have learned. I also pray for things that are more long term, such as t

September 28, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain | No Comments

From the diaries, by Erick. Once again, Barack Obama proves he is not fit to serve as commander-in-chief to our armed forces. In a continuing despicable act, Obama is refusing to honor WWII veterans who fought for our nation in it’s darkest hours. From the McClatchy News Service : WASHINGTON — In a strongly worded message to Congress outlining its priorities for a military spending bill, the Obama administration today said it disapproved of including money for pensions for 26 elde
