She Blogged By Night

As some of you know, I live in Kansas, which has been pummeled by ice most fierce for a couple of days. My Internet connection and power have been intermittent, which is why I haven't regaled you with more overly-long posts about half-forgotten entertainers that have a fan base of maybe two dozen people.

That doesn't mean I don't care about you, gentle readers. Today I decided to compile a few links of websites I enjoy, just for you. I know work is boring, especially when it's cold and dreary and you'd rather be home snuggling with your honey, or with something fuzzy... or with your fuzzy honey. Hey, who am I to judge?


Anyway, here are a bunch of links to keep you happy for days to come.

Pulp of the Day is one of my favorite all-graphics sites. To get to the archives, pick a month, then click "yesterday" or "tomorrow" above the image. I tell you this because it took me a while to figure out. The pulp image above was shamefully stolen from their archives.

Paleo-Future is a terrific site featuring the past's version of what our future would look like. Excellent stuff. I'm particularly fond of their House of the Future posts. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got this neat picture, but it was so detailed that it would have been a shame to shrink it down. I hope you'll forgive me for the large picture.

I can't say enough great stuff about Thrilling Days of Yesteryear. There's enough there to keep you busy for a decade. Not only is the content amazing, but once you read through his archives, take a gander at his massive (heh) sidebar.

How about several links on the 1939 World's Fair? Good, glad you agree with me. This site from about the 1939 World's Fair, including the famous Futurama exhibit, is lots of fun. Here's a gallery of images from the Futurama exhibit, and here's another gallery that tours the entire fair.

And, finally, if you're curious about what my ice-covered house and neighborhood looks like, you can find out here.
