Okinawa Soba posted a fascinating flickr set of 3D stereoviews of old Japan.

Almos 60 of the stereoviews in this set were photographed by Japanese photographer T. ENAMI [His self-portrait in Japanese Armor is the face of my flickr Icon]. The rest are divided up mostly among works by HERBERT PONTING, HENRY STROHMEYER, AND JULIAN COCHRANE. A few other 3-D photographers from both Japan and abroad are also represented here.

Most of the views were taken during the years 1895 to 1910, with the majority taken ca.1898-1905.

Cherry Coke may be "outrageous", but 80s fashion....  not so outrageous.  Link to commercial.

The Polish came out with some very cool poster designs.  Check out a the gallery.  I'm guessing the posters are for movies and theater.

Some famous cartoonists were asked to draw their popular comic strip characters while blindfolded in a 1947 issue of Life Magazine.  See how they did.  [via digg]

Q*Bert was one of my favorite games to play on my Atari 2600 when I was a kid so seeing this flash remake, flash*bert, made me giddy.  It's not the same experience without the Atari joysticks that cramp up your hands, but still a fun game to play.

Here are five television game shows from the 70s and 80s -- the good, the bad and the ugly.

Press Your Luck
Hosted by Peter Tomarken, Press Your Luck is a game show cult classic.  Contestants collected spins by answering various trivia questions and then used the spins on an 18-space gameboard, which was full of cash and prizes.  Whomever collected the most in cash and prizes won the game.   The show is best known for the infamous Whammy, which would take all of your cash and prizes if you landed on one on the gameboard.  "No whammy.  No whammy.  Stop!"  Link to game show clip.

Love Connection
Love Connection was hosted by Chuck Woolery in the 80s and made a brief return in the 1998 - 1999 season, hosted by Pat Bullard.  In the show, a single tried to find his or her best match among three men or women.  The audience would also vote for whom they thought would make the best match for the contestant. 

Here is a classic video clip of a man named Robert Baker who thinks women are turned on by his barking.

Manamana is a catchy muppet song that will stick in your head for days.  I love it.

We are getting blasted with a winter storm in the midwest and shoveling the inches of snow can be a real chore.  Here is a classic Sesame Street clilp of Ernie singing his most famous song "Rubber Duckie" to put a smile on your face as you look out the window to see a wintry mess.
