Morning Linkage (Nov 3)

Confused brand­ing, but first a lit­tle cham­ber music. Ducati goes to cof­fee, BMW makes a maxi-scooter and Husqvarana (owned by BMW) makes a some­thing. ’53 R51/3. Linotype video. Blues art, fund rais­ing for the gulf with the oil itself, a new­ly cleaned Giotto, Buck Fish, and Principal Skeleton brights the stu­dents’ day.

White is not a good col­or on some bikes, Wes Siler from Hell for Leather, tin toys, and a Bonneville I am unde­cid­ed about. How big is Africa? Paris Review author inter­views now on-line for all to read — most awe­some. Nordic mon­sters and Japanese ghosts. Vintage pack­ag­ing. What hap­pens when the sea mon­sters inter­fere in your relationships.

Morning Linkage (Nov 1)

Another vin­tage bob­ber, dirt bikes before there were dirt bikes — a lit­tle CZ, Ducati news and mods. Snow crys­tals and oth­er tiny things. Noise, air­planes, and lousy food. Making doors bet­ter, Cars 2 — can’t wait, a lit­tle robot to build, and some art on the walls of Paris.

Morning Linkage (Oct 28)

Helmut Fath’s side­car. Which rac­ing liv­ery do you pre­fer? hint — not the TicTac one. Norton Commando lust. Cats and squash, sea­son­al amuse­ments. New way to search the LIFE mag­a­zine image archives. Nelli Palomaki’s por­traits, ani­mals on build­ings in Lisbon, reusing mines as decor. Swing Shift Cinderella looks so swell, oh how I wish I could find the actu­al cartoon.
