This is great. Final Fantasy Compendium has (as one would expect from a compendium) a listing of all the airships and other forms of transportation you can take in the Final Fantasy games. Love them pixels.
Google Books is now hosting a huge amount of Life Magazines as well as just the photos. I’ll have to check out some momentous occasions later.
Another painter to add to my stable of favorites: Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. I recognize a few of his works but I’m surprised I hadn’t heard more of him before. Monet said of him, “We are nothing compared to him, nothing.”
Here is a complete archive of his works, in medium resolution.
Some other favorites:
The Evening
Souvenir of Ville d’Avrille
Winter Scene
Transfer of Napoleon’s ashes aboard the Belle Poule, October 15, 1840 (Louis Eugène Gabriel Isabey)
Wow, I just finished playing this fantastic little game. Check out that screenshot – and you go through like four more layers than it shows. Absolutely great.
Hilarious rundown of the items and characters in The Legend of Zelda, pointing out the obviously ridiculous nature of many of them. Fun reading.
Good lord. Say what you will about the service, but that’s the ugliest logo Google’s ever made.
No offense to our artists (Bryce, did you do this?!) but this logo is a typography disaster. Every single element is a different style – not to mention the fact that the 50 and bubble don’t line up with TC correctly. Am I just oversensitive to these things?
A different Picard facepalm, so you people on the internet can try a DIFFERENT ONE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, COME ON!
