Fun Stuff on Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Shorpy is the closest thing we have to traveling back in time 100 years. Every day, Shorpy posts a super-high-res scan of an image, usually from the Detroit Publishing company. If you zoom in on the image, you get an incredible snapshot of daily life a century ago. I can’t explain why, but I find it beautiful and fascinating.

Also, I had previously designated the Amazing Race as the best damn show on TV. While I still watch and enjoy TAR, Top Gear has since replaced it as the best damn show on TV. There is no such thing as an unfunny or unentertaining episode of Top Gear. BBC America Mondays at 8pm.

The best road test ever in the history of ever: Jeremy Clarkson’s sensible Ford Fiesta test.

And yes, the Fiesta will be available in American Ford showrooms imminently.
