Probably one of the most amazing wildlife clips you’ll ever see, and it never grows old. The unbelievable Lyre Bird. Anyone who underestimates animals should check this out.
If you haven’t seen the clip, make sure you do, and stick with it until the end. It’s brilliant and well worth it!

Advertising in the 1960s.

In 1961, 84% of viewers approved of television advertising.

Do you remember these campaigns?

Can you tell the difference between Stork SB and butter?
“Shh…you know who.” - Schweppes Tonic Water.
Put a tiger in your tank. - Esso.
“Happiness is…a Hamlet cigar.”
Persil washes whiter.
Everyone’s a fruit and nutcase - Cadbury’s chocolate.

Can you think of any others?

If my insurance agent could see the shit I get up to in my home, I don't think he'd be quite so nice to me.

But hey! Project complete! We got the giant 36" Trinitron in the loft, and with only one new scratch and one smashed finger. Everything is still sort of pulled apart but you can get a general idea of the layout. His and hers PCs and TVs on either end, with the CRT and retro consoles in the center (less strain on the controller cables and makes split screen co-op easier).

Well... Not quite complete. I still have to reattach the tinted panels, rework all the power/AV cables, install all the consoles, disassemble and remove the hoist, put the couch back, and clean.

But this was the hard part!

It's Monday so it's time for #MoodMusicMonday! Today's mood is "fuzzy!"

Post a song/songs that you think fit "fuzzy"! It can be about feeling fuzzy in your brain, or warm and fuzzy in your heart, it can be about being fuzzy, or fuzzy animals or maybe the history of the song is fuzzy or whatever! The song can itself could sound fuzzy or just remind you of fuzziness. You can interpret the mood any way you want!

There are no wrong answers!

Remember to include the hashtag #MoodMusicMonday and the mood "fuzzy".

The Kennedy assassination and its announcement on British television.

This is a timeline created by social historian David Kynaston.

Around 6.15pm Granada received a tip-off from CBS that Kennedy had been shot.

Even though it was against protocol - ITN broke the big news stories - Mike Scott of Granada Scene broke the news to northern viewers.

Okay, here's my big project.

My partner and I built a frame, transported it into our loft in sections, and then (mostly) assembled it (I still need to add braces on the legs). We had to remove the existing railing to do this, and we'll finally be finishing the trim around the opening once this is all done.

The goal? We'll be hanging a chain hoist from the center beam and lifting this 36", 220lb CRT television into the loft! I have a spot cleaned up for it already, and all my older consoles are standing by to be connected. I will also be lowering some of the other screens back down to make some room.

I have some smaller (32") CRTs up here already, but there's just no viable way to move a TV this large up an eight foot ship's ladder with nothing but muscle power. Luckily, I'm a tool-using maned wolf, and we had some extra lumber, so here we are.

I will hopefully have more pictures tomorrow!
