    Painters, illustrators, comic-artists, photographers...I admire the people who can pull off these visual arts with skill and class. Mostly because I can't!! Hahaha.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    Calling something "sexy" that has nothing to do with sex-appeal. "That's a sexy kitchen/bathroom/lamppost/rug/couch/skyscraper" WHATEVER! Unless it's wearing boxer-shorts or a bikini, it ain't sexy.

    Not a flea-market find or thrift-shop discovery, but rather, a souvenir. Based on a design hundreds of years old, this is a classic "Tiffin-Carrier", which I purchased today during my travels around Singapore: Tiffin-carriers come in various sizes. Four-stack, three-stack, two-stack and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks. My Panama is probably my most abused hat. It was a cheap, flea-market purchase. One day, I do hope to buy a better one (and one that fits better. This one is a bit small). I've used it as a fan more than I should, so when I went on this trip, I brought the folding fan specifically, so...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Currently in Singapore. Both the Panama and the fan are getting a serious workout!!

    Shaving bunnies

    Rabbits are damn cute, but here in Australia, they're considered a huge pain in the butt. So I don't think anyone here would be walking around with a "Save the Bunnies" placard outside the AKUBRA factory anytime soon.

    The Cap Faction

    Well I have two summer hats. One straw boater, and one traditional Panama (which is coming with me on my trip to Singapore next week). I bought this as a sort of more casual summer hat, below the Panama & boater, and also as a more general casual cap. I'll also be bringing the flat cap to...

    The Cap Faction

    Hey folks. I recently purchased a very nice ivory-white linen and cotton flat-cap, almost identical to this: With white/light hats, perspiration-staining is an issue. When it requires washing, how should I wash a cap like this? Throw in the washing-machine? Hand-wash it? Hot water? Cold...

    "Too good to use..."

    Please talk to my father. He has like 10 guitars and they just keep growing. And that's just the guitars. I haven't told you about the drums, saxophone, mouth-organs, keyboard, flutes, horns, pipes, and other musical crap that he has lying around.

    "Too good to use..."

    Not to mention the fact they go out of tune if you don't play them regular, and then you have to tune them up all over again before you can play them. Instead of tuning them regular if you play them all the time. We had a Yamaha studio upright piano in our house. I learned to play on that...

    Making Soda-Water the Old-Fashioned Way?

    I think to make baking powder is a different ratio, so it may not work. I'm gonna nip out and get some tartaric acid at the store and see if it makes any difference. It might be fun. See if it affects the taste. And if you weren't careful, the pressure got so high, your seltzogene turned into...

    Making Soda-Water the Old-Fashioned Way?

    I've figured out the ratios now. Two teaspoons baking soda, to two teaspoons acid-powder in one bottle of water. Seal. Shake. Drink. But I think I'll try using tartaric acid instead. See if it affects the taste. I think using citric acid is producing more of a sour taste than I'm used to.

    Making Soda-Water the Old-Fashioned Way?

    I have a soda-siphon as well, but it's out of gas at the moment. While I wait for a replacement gas-cylinder, I thought I'd try a little oldschool experimenting.

    Making Soda-Water the Old-Fashioned Way?

    Hey folks. I wasn't sure where to post this. If there's a more suitable location, a moderator can move it there. I've been experimenting with making soda-water the old-fashioned way, but I only have a basic understanding of how this works, and I can't really find any instructions about...

    Very cute. Looks like a Remington 3. What did that cost? I've seen some people trying to sell typewriters for absurd amounts of cash.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "That boy's cheese has done slid off his cracker..." I last saw the English-dubbed version of "Das Boot".

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    There's a line in a film that always tripped me up. It's otherwise an excellent film in my opinion, but it always nagged me. In "The Green Mile", set in 1935, Tom Hanks lectures the upstart prison-officer, Percy, about his temperament on Death Row. He tells him to consider Death Row like the...
