How does Disney create the Beast transformation on stage?
A great explanation of the Tokyo Disneyland illusion for Beauty and the Beast on stage.
The explanation of how this is done is great, but the homemade re-creation of this actual illusion is really where the gold is!

Making a CRT tv wall
If I had the space for this I’d want one of these.
This is pretty cool. This Atlanta-based filmmaker created a CRT tv wall in his studio.
A little history of the K67 kiosk
I want a little model version of this as a desk toy.
I love this little piece of practical design known as the K67 kiosk. Produced mostly in Yugoslavia, this kiosk took over Europe in the mid-20th century because of its adaptability for various uses. It could be stand-alone as a newspaper stand or a small frit stand, or be connected through its modular design to become something bigger, like a make-shift or temporary police station.
Unfortunately, these were phased out slowly by the 2000s and today very few are intact.
If you’re in NYC, you can see one of these in person at the MoMA.

Turning an old school in Indiana into a home
The coolest home in Indiana.
I’ve been following this family’s journey in converting an old school in Indiana into a huge single-family home ever since the height of the pandemic lockdown. It is one of the coolest architectural transformations and re-use cases I’ve ever seen. It has taken the family years to get this transformation done and in September 2024 they finally moved in to their place in Indiana.

Phil A. O’Fish McDonald’s mascot
A short-lived McDonald’s fish mascot.
I was too young to remember this, but for a very short time in McDonald’s history, they advertised the famed Filet-O-Fish with a uniform-wearing fish named Phil A. O’Fish.
Also, I recently posted a video about whether the Filet-O-Fish is actually fish.
