It’s Salmagundi Sunday, where I share the “best of the rest” — great links that didn’t make the cut for last week’s newsletter.
Infographics: the Periodic Table of Fictional Minerals covers literature, film, television, games and comics; What Do People Read on the Toilet is just what it sounds like.
Blank Walls Are Criminal…a crowdsourced, global graffiti gallery.
A Keith Jarrett documentary. One of the greatest jazz pianists ever.
I can’t explain why I kept scrolling and scrolling through Henry Hargreaves’ gallery of the best to-go coffee cups from cafes all over the world.
Letters between Frank O’Hara and his publisher, shared in honor of Lunch Poem’s 50th birthday.
The original poster thought these photos of Hitler practicing his hand movements and gestures were “hilarious.” I think they are scary.
Sean Mundy’s photos are compelling. I particularly like stark works like “Origins” and “Sigil”.
A font designed around various addictions. Some legit, some…not so much.
An (ahem) smart article about Cezanne’s still lifes and their “grasping for the infinite.”
There’s a new Morbid Anatomy Museum in Brooklyn. Pairs well with the Mütter Museum (and a nice Chianti).
Not shared enough in all the talk about Tim Howard is how he overcame Tourette’s to become a superstar.
Apparently, some Thai insurance companies specialize in 3-minute, tear-jerking videos. Here’s another one. The related videos sidebar on YouTube will lead to plenty more.
This “29 Celebrity Impressions, 1 Song” video is being shared everywhere. It is entertaining.
Also all over, but just in case, Louis Zamperini was amazing. Respect.
Back to business as usual tomorrow!
