Jesse Reklaw’s Slow Wave comics absolutely rock!. Jesse designed Deadprogrammer.com corner graphic, the one with the programmer and the cat. And now you can buy his new book - The Night of Your life:
funnyDon't Mock The VictoriansThu, 10/02/2008 - 02:58 — deadprogrammerI’ve been leafing through some old Soviet science and technology magazines, and came upon this cartoon mocking inventors of the yesteryear. There’s a trunk-lifesaver, steam-powered sewing machine, a built-in bottle opener, an automatic candle extinguisher, a variety of ridiculous looking egg cookers, and … a pneumatic tea kettle, which in one shape or another can be found in just about any coffee shop, catering hall and cafeteria these days.
Also in the mix - what they imagined a cell phone would be like in the 70s.
Steamboat ScratchyFri, 08/18/2006 - 20:33 — deadprogrammerHobo: I used to be rich. I owned Mickey Mouse massage parlors and those Disney sleazeballs shut me down. I said “Look, I’ll change the logo, put Mickey’s pants back on.” Some guys you just can’t reason with. The Sipmpsons, Episode [8F23] Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes? Today my friend Elro of Elro.com sent me a promotional clip that his company made. A “Pixar” snuff cartoon. Yes, yes. Disney Corporation (which I think Pixar now owns) will be very glad to see this. While I am on the subject of pissing off big corporations that could easily have me disappeared, I keep hearing this joke about Disney employees. Apparently after they got a memo telling them to stop referring to the House of Mouse as “Mouseschwitz”, they quickly started calling it “Duckhau”. Does anyone know what the source of this is? Walt Disney is rumoured to be a secret Nazi. |

My name is Michael Krakovskiy, and this is my blog.
Here’s what you might find interesting:
100 Views of the Empire State Building project: I try to take 100 interesting photos of Manhattan’s (sadly) tallest building.
My Gastronomic Adventures: I eat weird food - from 13 year old New Coke to Durian and parasitic fungi.
My attempts to grow exotic plants: pineapples, coconuts, etc.
My photos, mostly of New York City.
My musings about architecture mostly illustrated with my own photos. Would you like to learn about a mental patient who died at 103 who served as a model for some very famous sculptures? How about Brooklyn’s ugliest building? How about a wooden skyscraper?
I find myself frequently writing about logos. The most popular article I ever wrote is about the redesigns of the Starbucks logo.
I wrote a series of “Best Sci-Fi You Haven’t Read” posts:
Psywarrior
Yes, Virginia There Is Synergy
Call Time Police - We’ve Got a Time Traveler
Other topics that interest me include NYPD, New York City subway system, Japan, and things made out of titanium. On top of all of that, I seem to be interested in pigeions and Rupert Murdoch.
Dear reader, please browse around. You are sure to find something interesting. I could really use some help in bringing in readership: subscribe to the rss feed, digg the stories (there’s a convenient button at the bottom of every article), link to my blog from yours, write some comments. I put in a lot of effort into writing, and I really appreciate your attention.
If you don’t want all this pseudo-intellectual and want some lolcats? Please don’t go away. Here, I have that stuff too. Here, here’s another. And another. And another. I lied about not posting cat pictures.
