The Best Graffito Ever: No Pie
The best graffito I have ever seen. Spotted in front of the Rockefeller University Hospital in New York City. I have a theory as to who’s responsible. Who most wants to forbid New Yorkers nicotine and high-calorie snacks? Hand over the Sharpie, Mayor Bloomberg.

Paul Muni: Original Gangsta
The Onion AV Club’s How’d it get burned? 22 film remakes dramatically different from the originals piece points out that while Al Pacino’s Scarface has become a modern gangsta icon, nobody slaps the original Paul Muni incarnation from 1930 onto t-shirts, posters, and cheezy mirrors for sale by street vendors. A quick Googling confirmed that…

The Dork Report for Feburary 3, 2007

A belated announcement: Mean Teacher opts for a new blog persona in the new year: Ordinary World. Thrill and wonder at her first-class movie reviews and tales from the catbox. Nintendo stuff on my cat: WiiKitty (no longer online: www.wiikitty.com]). Twitterific, a new (free!) application from The IconFactory. Twitter allows one to never lose touch…

The Dork Report for January 12, 2007

And 2. as a web designer, I often think that…
