Someone on YouTube used Maya or another animation tool to create a short movie based on The Monkee's spoken word piece, Zilch.
The song Words, from an episode (The Monkey's Paw) of their TV show:
A Little Bit me, A Little Bit You (from another episode):
Finally (there would be more, but not a lot of videos are out there..surprising, since The Monkees performed songs on their show every week), here is a Slideo of Jimi Hendrix and The Monkees. Yes, on one tour, The Jimi Hendrix Experience opened for The Monkees.

It was 64 years ago today that FDR died in office and Harry S. Truman became Presidenrt
On this day in 1845, following the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, the vice president, succeeded to the presidency. Truman's presidency saw a number of major events in world affairs:-- we "won" the war in Europe, and Japan, the UN came alive, the Truman Doctrine--an attempt to contain Communusm--led to the Cold War, NATO was born, and the Korean War began. Needless to say, we also became the first (and, thankfully, last [for now]) country to drop an atomic bomb on fellow humans.

Oops!
My list of favorite websites and blogs was deleted today as I was using the new Blogger In Beta tools. I'll get them back eventually, but for now, why not go bare?

Mike Judge's new movie Extract
Today on the interwebs (one of my very favorite blogs) posted this link yesterday. I liked both Office Space and Idiocracy a lot. In this one, it's the workers who are the bozos. The movie will arrive next fall.

Poem: "I contain multitudes"
We all have a platoon
Of partly-contained multiple personalities
Ready to burst from the confines of the clown car.
