newyorker: A first: The idea for this week’s cover, “Loading…”, came from one of our readers, Brett Culbert, a thirty-year-old landscape historian. Culbert’s original image, a blurred Eustace with a loading icon in place of the butterfly, is one of the twelve Eustace Tilley Contest winners for 2012. His idea was modified into the final cover design. Although the winning entries have been showcased in the magazine before, this marks the first time that a reader’s submission inspired the cover. The other 2012 contest winners include Cristian Gomez, an art director who put Eustace in a window in the Chrysler building. Next, we have five-time finalist Gary Amaro; his entry this year riffs on Picasso. David Urban imagines a Eustace with white earbud headphones. A California-based graphic designer, Ray Dougela, has Eustace coping with the economic situation. Kevin Scalzo reinvents Nancy and Sluggo. Alma Mitchell was born in Miles City, Montana and is ninety-nine years old. Here is her Eustace. View a slideshow of all of the 2012 winners.

One of my favorite Improv Everywhere videos, REMASTERED for your Internet pleasure. My favorite part is where a woman attempts to claim that Norwegians have had it just as bad as blacks.

charlietodd:

Since Aspen, Colorado has an African American population of 0.44%, Improv Everywhere decided to give the locals a chance to “meet a black person.”

“We’re really sad right now,” said Molly Mackenzie of Boston.

Also:

There was a similar incident after Osama bin Laden was killed last year.

Nice to see my alma mater staying classy.

So apparently I was briefly seen in the Typewriter Renaissance feature on today’s CBS Sunday Morning. There’s a shot of me inspecting a typewriter at the Brooklyn Flea. This must have been several weeks ago. I had no idea they were shooting. I can be seen @ 1:45.

The model of typewriter I’m looking at is the Smith Corona Super G, the same model I bought from a different vendor at the Flea several months prior.

I watch CBS Sunday Morning every week, and was watching a little behind on DVR. Suddenly, a bunch of folks texted/e-mailed to say they saw me in this segment. The most fun part of this is finding out so many people I know also watch CBS Sunday Morning!
