Just a beautiful old photo of Private James Hendrix of the 101st Airborne, playing guitar at Fort Campbell Kentucky in 1962. Hell of a soul-dier

Newly-released video, in time for the 10-year anniversary, shows smoke rising minutes after United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.

On CNN Sunday night, anchor Susan Hendricks introduced a piece of video from a now-deceased witness who videotaped the aftermath of heroic Flight 93 from about 15 miles away. His family has apparently just made the video available now.

The short clip features the anonymous videographer’s narration of the events that occurred before he turned on his camera. According to Hendricks, the tape is believed to be the first to show the immediate aftermath of the United Airlines Flight 93 crash, the fourth plane to go down on 9/11 after passengers fought back against the hijackers, preventing them from crashing it into their likely targets, the US Capitol or the White House.

I bet that was a pretty unnerving experience for this guy. To see the attack on the World Trade Center on TV, hear about the attack on the Pentagon, and to see something similar just ouside his own back yard... a very sad day.

So much epicness in one picture. The amount of cool in that room is off the charts. Bob's playing soccer, but Jimmie's just trying to manage walking across the floor tripping balls.

They be jammin' mon...

I prefer attaching 'files' to 'e-mails', too. Though in my day we searched on Altavista using Netscape, after waiting on that dial-up to connect out Pentium II powered computers to the internet so we could create our Geocities websites. But before that we used telnet to archie.funet.fi over a 1200 baud modem and posted on usenet... but waaaay in my day you were considered cool if you wrote your website on Notepad.. and we were considered "Elite" if we could dial into other computers with our phone handsets, using cradled receivers that were attached to our phone lines and computers.

Here's the comic by Matt Silverman:

Vermont was hit hard by flooding as a result of Hurricane Irene, with roads, bridges, homes and vehicles being washed away by some of the most intense flood waters the state has ever seen. This footage shows the Bartonsville Covered Bridge, a historic landmark built in 1870, being washed away.

Isn't it crazy how so many of us drew this in elementary school, but we are from different cities/counties/states/countries? Sh*t went GLOBAL. Something like this spread virally long before the Internet existed (i.e. I was born in the 80's and we all learned to draw it). It literally had to pass by word of mouth from school to school... craaaaaazy!

This symbol is actually from a puzzle book that was released by Scholastic books. The original puzzle simply showed two rows of three vertical lines, and the challenge was to turn them into the letter S by adding eight more straight lines. Looking at the finished product it looks easy, but when faced with the two rows of three lines it was quite a challenge. Once it was figured out it became something to doodle as a rule. This became wide spread because EVERYBODY used to get Scholastic books in elementary school at one point or another.

Apparently it is also the Super S Stussy symbol which was drawn by kids worldwide in the 1990's.
