Try not to smile!

And don't you dare dance in your ergonomic office chair!

Frozen in Grand Central Station

Two of my friends have sent me the link to this video -- it is indeed very cool. Jack wants to stage a similar performance in Ann Arbor. Anyone interested?

Tawny Scrawny Lion

Don't be alarmed! This is heartwarming. And that's not a word I toss around lightly...

American Photobooth



I love those old photobooth pictures! Such interesting, funny and touching portraits have been taken since its invention. My favorite is this one of my mom and dad, which I recently discovered in a box of books. It fell out of a paperback copy of "The Little Prince".
A new book is out on the history of the American Photobooth, by Näkki Goranin (W. W. Norton, 2008) . I can't wait to read it.

Here is a fun website filled with photobooth photos:
