Apple releases 8-hour long mix for ‘Severance’
Music to refine to.
This is nice music to “refine” to, as Apple would say. This 8-hour long mix featuring ODESZA remixes some of the musical themes from the hit TV show Severance. Put it on your TV in the background and enjoy.
NYC's San Juan Hill, before it became Lincoln Center
A NYC neighborhood lost to gentrification.
Lincoln Center recently acknowledged its role in the displacement of an entire neighborhood in NYC with the screening of a film called San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood, directed by Stanley Nelson.
This 60-minute film has a very limited release and I’m trying to find a place to watch it. For now, enjoy this trailer for the film.
Exploring the abandoned Miami Marine Stadium
A relic on the Miami waterfront.
I’ve wanted to explore this place for so long but every time I’m in Miami, there just isn’t enough time to head out that way.
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.
The history of the Filet-O-Fish
What’s inside the Filet-O-Fish?
I know this may gross some of you out, but if I had to choose a sandwich at McDonald’s, it would almost always be the Filet-O-Fish. This unassuming sandwich at McDonald’s always reminds me of my dad (he used to order this too!) and there was always something dangerous and mysterious about ordering a fish sandwich from a place known for their burgers. Also…the fish was in the shape of a square. It was all really weird and as a kid I loved it!
That ultra-smooth glistening bun is perfect and honestly, I want one right now as I’m writing this. And yes, this sandwich actually is fish.
If there aren’t enough Filet-O-Fish images in this single post to make you shiver, check out the official Filet-O-Fish image from McDonald’s media assets library below. Click it to make it big!
Download AT&T Merlin system ringtones
Download these classic ringtones and add them to your iPhone.
I’m a little obsessed with recently finding out the source of that iconic “movie” ringtone from the AT&T Merlin system and now you can download all those classic tones and do with them as you please!
I would recommend converting them into iPhone ringtones :)
A look back at the AT&T Merlin phone system from the ‘80s
That iconic office ring sound comes from this AT&T Merlin phone system.
This is kind of neat. I’ve always wondered where that iconic “business” phone ring used in a ton of movies and TV shows comes from and it turns out it was a real part of the AT&T Merlin phone system introduced in the ‘80s and heavily used throughout the ‘90s.
As you can imagine with the slow upgrade speed of some larger businesses, support for the AT&T Merlin system still exists and you can still buy handsets and desk sets today in a variety of configurations.
The Merlin system ringtone is so iconic that even newer phone systems unrelated to the original phone maker include it as a ringtone.
