Lena

This was fascinating viewing. I think I may have been dimly aware that “the Lena image” was a thing, I have somewhat vague memories of reading somewhere that an image from Playboy had played some sort of key role in the development of digital image processing, but I knew nothing else apart from that… so this was really educational, and I have a lot better understanding of why Lena was and is important, and what she means for the industry and the culture at large.

Sure you don’t need that education?

So Pink Floyd, or whatever passes for them these days, are gearing up for the 50th anniversary of their most famous album, but because it’s 2023 and the Internet is still a thing, this is apparently the sort of response they’ve been getting from people who I can only assume have never seen what that album’s cover art was. DINOSAUR BAND USE GAY COLOURS ME NO LISTEN NO MORE! Good thing the band never went with this originally, hey…

12! The… number of the Beast?

Amazing. I think that Iron Maiden getting a range of stamps in their honour is way better (and a lot funnier) than getting into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, of which Bruce Dickinson is a noted non-fan anyway.

To avoid fainting, keep repeating, "it's only a blog... only a blog... only a blog..."

HOLY SHIT you're looking at INANIMATE CARBON GOD, the finest, if not the only, blog produced in Matraville, Australia since January the first 2023.
