I’ve been meaning to post about this since Sunday, but the new Ken Burns documentary series is just outstanding. Riveting stories, gorgeous cinematography, flawlessly edited. And there’s lots of old-timey silliness to make me laugh (photos of idiot Victorian people … Continue reading →

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Posted on 09/29/2009 at 11:38 am by Bob Cesca
