What's in a name?

I came across this photo of a booklet while searching for something else on eBay:
This is a training handbook created for the U.S. Forest Service in 1948. Notice the name of the person who prepared the booklet.
A guy named "Woods" who works for the Forest Service? How cool is that?
The needs of the many

The power of the internet
[Posted Tuesday, February 10, 2026 2/10/26 9:44 am]
A while ago while surfing around the net, I came across this amusing image:
Looking at it got me to thinking, I wonder if, just by going on information available in the picture, could I find the exact location of where this picture was taken?
Well, I can say now officially, the internet is magic, because take a look at this:
All I did was simply search in Google for "Bloor Meat Market." In seconds it responded with a listing for this business which is located in Toronto, Canada. The search results even includes pictures of the store, which is obviously across the street from where the Cylon is standing in the joke image.
The power of the internet and AI is pretty amazing, isn't it?
Marty! Where's my cell phone?

This artifact, a clay tablet claimed to be dated to the 13th Century, was found in the Fuschl am See archaeological dig in Salzburg, Austria:
The artifact is curious for several reasons, first of which is that it so closely resembles a cell phone from 1998:
But the weirdness does not end there, because the symbols on the "buttons" of the "cell phone" are in the Sumerian writing style known as Cuneiform. Finding artifacts with Cuneiform writing on them are common in areas like Iran, but they are rare in Austria.
So, why was this artifact with Cuneiform found out of place in Austria? Does the uncovering of this strange artifact prove that people from our time have Time Travelled to the past? Or that ancient aliens visited our world long ago with similar technology?
Nokia could not be reached for comment, but we suspect that the Sumerian cell phone would no longer have active service.
Always open, except...

Life imitates art

I saw this on one of my daily walks around my neighborhood last week.
George Harrison fans will understand why this caught my eye.
