Help Bill Plympton save the animation history of Winsor McCay. Don’t need to tell any of you how cool Bill Plympton is, the most independent of independent animators, but now he’s out-cooled himself. Bill’s resurrected the last animated film of early pioneer Winsor McCay and is restoring it for modern audiences. I just dropped a few Kickstarter bucks on this project, and if you...

Still Not Going To Do This Every Day: Move over... →
ricksancheztv: Social media has changed the way we receive news. It’s also changed how it’s reported. When the “Arab Spring” hit Egypt, I began tweeting. A lot. We were witnessing history and I was riveted to my television and my computer. I tweeted out information and updates for no…

I’ve posted a bit about tumblr and its founder David Karp before. But as tumblr’s growth just keeps seeming more and more astounding (from 250,000,000 page views a year to 350,000,000 every day!) I thought you might enjoy these two videos with David. I see him all the time, but every time he speaks in public I learn a lot I didn’t know.

Larry Young played the coolest jazz organ...
…a cross between the standard bearing of Jimmy Smith and the modern sheets of John Coltrane’s blues. I copped to him as part of the original Tony Williams Lifetime, trio’d with Tony’s explosive traps and John McLaughlin’s Hendrix translations into jazz. As a rock organist with Felix Cavaliere as model, my brain just imploded. More Frederator postcards: Series 1-15...
