Here’s where detective work pays off, as we begin to trace more frequent reuses and modifications of old material (sometimes from the same studios holding the original copyrights, sometimes not) among the steady output of aerial cartoons produced during the early 1930’s. While there continues to be variety in the manner in which planes traveled up or down, some animators found ways of back-tracking to previous ideas for reuse (in at least two instances discussed at length below, of necessity to save a project that would otherwise have been scrapped). Hop aboard for another overview to elevate the mind and tickle the funny bone like a feather. I begin with sincere apologies for a chronological mixup, placing out of sequence...
My favorite mom quote goes as follows – “Without systems there is chaos. Without systems there is chaos“. One of you deserves credit for it, left sweetly in the comment section two years ago, and I chant it ALL THE TIME. This applies to every single part of our lives, and as someone who unfortunately isn’t innately gifted in the organization realm, and yet abhors visual mess, I HAVE to create systems, or else the house is so chaotic and messy and it actually affects my mental health (thus the choice to live more minimally with less stuff). Labels are my boss. Baskets make me feel safe. So when we were brainstorming about how to talk about organization in the...
If you’re a fan of high-quality audio, then you’ll know the importance of a great subwoofer. It can dramatically improve the quality of the sound and give you that full bass experience. Loudspeakers in home sound systems usually can’t pick up low-level bass without the help of a subwoofer.

Connecting the right sub and amplifier makes a huge difference in your experience without the cost of a brand new home theater system. And if you already have an amplifier or receiver, this will cost you even...

My wife left in March 2016, and after several years of waiting — and occasionally trying to reconcile — I asked her to agree to a divorce. That process began in spring 2019, slowed to a crawl through the fall and next spring, and concluded in late summer 2020. Thanks to COVID, dating was then out of the question. But by spring 2021, it was time. I was ready. And my lovely 17-year-old daughter was urging me to try. There was the issue of profile photos, however. One sad relic of my marriage was the absence of photos of me. I cannot take a good selfie, no matter how often I try. And I was not sure whom to ask....
