If you only watch Mad Men on TV or Netflix, you probably missed a cool special feature on the season 4 DVD set

Filmmaker Cicely Gilkey produced a 30 minute documentary for the box set that takes a look at how +Ford Motor Company developed and marketed the original 1965 #Mustang. Along with lots of archival footage including some cool old TV ads, she interviewed Mustang biographers John Clor and Bob Fria. You can get the DVD set here http://www.amazon.com/Mad-Men-Season-Jon-Hamm/dp/B0038M2AOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375278463&sr=8-1&keywords=mad+men+season+4+dvd?

The new +Android 4.3 version of photosphere definitely works better

Loaded up the new camera up on my +Motorola Mobility Droid Razr Maxx HD and tried it at the park this evening. It still has trouble when stuff is too close like the utility pole and the dog, but otherwise it works great.

It would be really nice to see the US Patent Office doing this kind of examination before they grant patents

At least they are revisiting this stuff, but it would save a lot of companies a lot of time and money if proper examination was done up front.

Megachurches Use Elaborate Sets and Easy Parking to Amplify God’s Voice | Raw File | Wired.com
Photographer Joe Johnson’s series Megachurches takes us down the aisles, inside the sanctuaries and behind the scenes of jumbo-sized places of worship.
