Wow. 12 days without a post.
Miss me?

I was contacted by someone who liked GlyphJockey, and in gratitude for my effort he sent me this link which turned out to be pretty cool, and part of a deeper obsession. About it I refuse to say "When I was a kid blah, blah, blah...."

The observation I would like to make is how cool it must've been to work on this stuff. It was broad and extensive in its heyday, and the designer's imagination could run wild - with Big Daddy Roth as the discipline's Pope.

Top two pics are also links to the list.












Thanks Matt!

I WANT THIS.
But I also want a lot of other stuff

The other cool things are:

• The the built-in translation tools on this Google-found autotranslated page.
  
• The wonky autotranslation itself
• The nicely constructed flash "Super Zoom" feature on the enlarged picture pop-up

Poor Ol' Chuan Duong's Car

The greater Philadelphia area has as many Vietnamese/SE Asian (so where's my Lee's sandwich shop already?!?!*drool*) move in as Phoenix has Mexicans move in each year. So Senor Duong fell victim to the land of the cheesesteak and the soft pretzel. Abandoned. But it still tells a story. All pictures are links to 1024 size for ease of viewing. His English is very interesting as he tells his tale of woe, crisis and confusion.

Why do I see so many written-on vehicles? My wife was even half-related to someone that did this....
