Reminds me of the story of Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Oliver on the set of Marathon Man. In this one particular scene ("Is it safe?") Hoffman's character is meant to have been awake for days without a shower. So Hoffman decided to stay awake for days without a shower before shooting the scene. Oliver, hearing this - and no doubt put off by the younger man's odor - asked him, "Tell me son, have you ever considered ACTING?"
If you love guitar that much you'd think you'd actually try to LEARN how to play it.
One teensy recommendation...this is something I see on many many blogs but I figured a blog as fantastically sophisticated, handsome and intelligent as Neatorama might be just the one to set the standard and help rid the world of one of my pet peeves: The 'Next Page' link takes you to previous articles, while the 'Previous Page' link takes you to articles that (chronologically) came next! Makes me see red!
Is 'Previous Articles' and 'Newer Articles' too much to ask for? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh (choke) (sob) (thud)
As you might expect, I have too much time on my hands.
Love Neatorama, though I really became an adherent after BoingBoing's crappy redesign.
I'm not online (at least not surfing blogs) everyday. So for me, and I would assume others like me, it's nice to see archived articles presented in the same format as when they were first published. BoingBoing now relegates older posts to little textual snippets of which even the AP would approve.
Whereas I used to spend hours going back through a week's worth of BoingBoing posts, now I jump over to Neatorama, et. al. after reading the top (eg - interesting, illustrated, large font, decent sized article quote) half of BoingBoing's current page.
Please, don't funk up Neatorama like that - I enjoy reading all you posts, not just the ones from the last 12 hours!
