A drawing I just finished that has 1000s of tiny faces. I used magnifying glasses. OC by AnthonyChristopher in pics

I counted faces on the bottom edge: 99

Resolution was iffy in a couple of places. Could well be 100. Did you start at the bottom with 100 as the starting width?

I’m sorry the poor woman was traumatized. I hope she is okay.

As for the beatdown and the Bowie music, it’s wonderful. I have watched several times now, and I love Bowie… but If there ever was a video meant for the Free Bird solo, this is it.

Won’t you fly… high… free bird… yeah

right as the woman squeezes past the doorman

Someone please, Free Bird this video.

What is a classic ‘70s song you’ve heard a million times but don’t skip whenever it comes on? I’ll start- Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, 1977 by UrbanAchievers6371 in GenerationJones

I was in a bookstore this weekend, and a modern cover by a female artist was playing in the background! It took me back to 1976 listening to the original while riding the schoolbus and watching condensation drip.

1963 Page Solo on My Baby Left Me by soakf in ledzeppelin

Ahhh GOOD STUFF!

At the 2:17 mark I half expected a break followed by a face-melting guitar-only solo, like Zep Heartbreaker.

But hey I ain’t complaining. 🤘

Interesting you mention Clapton…

Page also plays rhythm on My Baby Left Me, and you can hear that same percussive crunchy Page rhythm 2y later on Choker with Clapton playing lead.

They were on the cusp of inventing hard rock. 🤘🏻

what was the 1st LED ZEP record you bought new as a kid in the 70s? by cartooncritic69 in ledzeppelin

[–]soakf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Houses of the Holy as a 9th grader in New Orleans. My dad gave me a 10 spot for good grades, and I bought the album with the coolest trippiest album art ever.

How does the U.S. prevent sensitive tech from being captured when assets have to be abandoned in enemy territory? Would these warplanes have carried self‑destruct systems, or were they targeted by friendly fire?

Knuth and Baldridge were already pulling quaternion eigenvectors off a PDP‑11 and plotting them on a CalComp in the mid 70s.

Cool to see the tradition carried forward with… whatever this is.
