The USC archives just tweeted the top photo. I'm pretty sure the bottom photo is the modern vantage point, as screengrabbed from Apple Maps.

SIR JARLSBERG - Teach Thee How to Curtsy (Wreckroom)

[spiegelman]

This something that the Top Secret Awl Music Algorithm* spit up yesterday and it's, well, I don't know what it is but it's fantastic.

*It's not really an algorithm.

Look at this insane photo I stumbled across on Flickr. It's by Armando Sueños and it's from that day the LA River caught on fire.

"Notes"

I just found a Word doc on my computer entitled "Notes" and dated August 2007. These are the entire contents of that doc:

Hey Tumblr fans! First, I just want to remind you how much we appreciate you. (Very much.)

Second, we are having a little contest. We’re looking for the best joketellers in New York City. You do not have to old, or even Jewish, to enter. Just go to this website and record yourself telling a joke right into your computer’s webcam. If your joke wins, we will invite you to tell it live, on stage, at the Old Jews Telling Jokes Off-Broadway show! 

So please tell us a joke! And gather your parents and grandparents to tell us a joke! And thank your for following Old Jews Telling Jokes!

Web Channels

Hey Tumblr! I made something for you:

printandwire.tv

I don't entirely know what it is. I mean, I do --it's a streaming channel that pulls the latest videos from 5 newspapers and 2 wire services. But I don't know if anybody wants this sort of thing. It's meant for cord-cutters. It's an exercise in trying to make YouTube videos more presentable. It's a little buggy, and I'm looking to you, YOU, the brilliant minds of Tumblr, to tell me why it sucks or is uninteresting to you.

I also made you a science one:

smrt.tv

So if you'd follow one or both of these, and maybe drop me a line about what you think would make these actually useful to you, I will love each and every one of you who does.

Be aware that the news one updates like 40 times a day. So if it clogs your dashboard and you hate that, please let me know that as well!

yeah it's real complicated
