The story behind this is that a cub photographer from Life went to Princeton when Einstein died, and got into Einstein’s office by giving away bottles of scotch. Smart man. There’s an even better pic of Einstein’s desk in the slideshow, along with pics of the casket being removed from his home, and the cemetery. Coolest Shit Ever.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy Page! Today is a National Holiday in Youdopia. None shall toil. Jimmy is 66 today. You may be surprised that I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. It’s true.  Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They release super high end, expensive books of superb quality. They cost a ton, but I don’t care. I am getting this book.

Jimmy follows the tradition of Ol’ 93/93 with this hand crafted publication. It’s funny, but the day I found out about this book, I literally had this book in the cart, ready to buy. Coincidence?

The Bleak, Dorky, Clever Lego Photography Of Mike Stimpson

I must be getting old, Youdopians. The younger Mojozoso would definitely think this lego photo recreation of the execution of a Viet Cong prisoner (the famous Eddie Adams photo) was sick and twisted, and kinda funny.  I t generally don’t really w00t that much over lego stuff, or anyone who fucks with a Barbie and calls it art. Sorry. It’s all good, I just don’t dig it. However, the good folks at Wired put together an anthology of lego photo recreations, like the one above, and I wanted to share it with you. The photographer (lego dude) is Mike Stimpson.
