If you create an "Internet Radio" service, I fully expect Elvis Costello's "Radio Radio" to be available.
If you create an "Internet Music Video" service, I fully expect The Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star" to be available.
Watching the demo for Google Goggles reminds me of my EZ Identification post.
"In the future, it will help you do more cool things - like suggesting a move in a chess game or taking a picture of a leaf to identify the plant."
I continue to liken it to the Pokedex device from Pokemon. By pointing the camera at a Pokemon, it would bring up the appropriate encyclopedia result.
Others appear to liken it to the Tricorder device from Star Trek. But waving a sensor over something to get a complex analysis disrupts the analogy.
When Dollhouse began, I quickly caught the NATO Phonetic Alphabet naming convention for Actives (Alpha, Echo, November, Sierra, Victor).
This latest episode revealed a second Dollhouse that has adopted a Greek God naming convention (Hades and Aphrodite). As an extension of this allusion, Summer Glau's character, Bennett Halverson, seems to be a representation of Hephaestus.
I am perhaps too easily amused by the simple suggestion of false temporal manipulation in lifestreaming events.
Step one: Create a post declaring your success for unraveling time. Step two: Create another post with a later timestamp declaring your intentions to unravel time by hopping into your Delorean / Tardis / Tear In The Space-Time Continuum.
Many early modernist homes strongly emphasized the horizontal, like the the broad eaves of the Prairie Style in the Midwest, Mies' Farnsworth House, and the California houses of Richard Neutra. However, this luxury was unavailable to architects building in New York City. Unsurprisingly, their homes were much more vertical. Three striking examples were designed by William Lescaze (1896–1969), better known for the PSFS Building in Philadelphia.
- William Lescaze House, 211 East 48th Street (1933-34). The home he built for himself was the first
International Style house in New York City. In April 2001, its owners put it up for rent at the bargain price of $20,000 per month. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and designated as a New York City Landmark (PDF) in 1976.
- R.C. Kramer House, 32 East 74th Street (1935)
- Edward A. Norman House, 124 East 70th Street (1940-41)
In 1934-35, designer and architect Morris B. Sanders built a similar house at 219 East 49th Street. The Morris B. Sanders Studio & Apartment was designated as a New York City Landmark (PDF) in 2008. All four of the buildings remain standing.
Since the pilot episode of Community, Abed has been established as a character that possessed awareness of archetypes, cliches, and motifs. He's now created The Community College Chronicles within the show which captures the traits of the current characters and extrapolates upon them. The end result is a warped version of reality, but since there is a nugget of truth at the core, some of the fictional fictional developments turn out to be similar to the fictional developments.
Yet another recursive show-within-a-show.

All that remains is to overload our sense of taste, touch, and hearing with good vibes.
