From kabalarians.com, a brief analysis of the new nephew’s first name:
Your First Name of: Milo
– Your first name of Milo has given you a practical, logical, analytical approach to life and a great deal of patience.
– You enjoy working at anything of a mechanical or technical nature, and believe that what is worth doing is worth doing well.
– When you are interested in a project, you concentrate all your thoughts on it and do not appreciate being interrupted.
– This name creates a deliberate and methodical way of thinking and speaking; it takes you time to learn but, once you have mastered a subject, you do not forget it.
– Although the name Milo creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it limits your versatility and scope, tuning you to technical details.
–This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the elimination system, and through worry and mental tension.
Still no name as of this morning, so I figured I’d throw this one out there.

Welcome to the world, little dude!
*UPDATE 03.05.2010: Milo Hudson Albao. Rhymes with Shiloh, not kilo. (But honestly, as of this moment, I don’t see how he’s not gonna forever be Dime.)
The first couple minutes are particularly bad-ass.

Just in from my old pal Dan! From 1991, a time-lapse video of us unloading the U-Haul at the loading dock behind our new shop in the hood at 338 W. 130th Street in Los Angeles CA. I was 22 years old. Dan’s the curly guy, I’m the other one. We were here when the 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out.
RELATED: My memories of Horace.
BTW, it’s Dan’s birthday today. Happy 48, dude!
*UPDATE!* Another just in:
*UPDATE 03.10.2010* Another, from around ‘90-’91, Tripper masked:
And another. Here I’m with Junior, Horace’s brother. We’re trying to capture the drum pad in mid-air so that we can use it as a UFO in a video. This is before software made such a thing so easy.
I’m about 21 or 22, and I look like my baby sister.
RELATED: Many years later, as graphic designer, I did a Dauz brochure. Photoshop and AfterEffects would’ve made the UFO thing a breeze.
And another in from Dan. Horace RIP:
M’ites just nabbed this last week as a surprise. We’ve been on a recent Clue kick, and stumbled upon Hitchcock’s similar-looking Why title in one of the catalog inserts inside a vintage Password game (home version) I’ve got laying around. She looked Why up, and tracked down an original 1958 version. Delightful!

Why is a board game from the late ’50s created by the Milton Bradley Company based on the television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The game is no longer produced. There are two different releases of the game: the original 1958 release and the 1967 release, differing only in the box art.
Neither of us had played it before, but it’s great times. Whereas Clue primarily involves the process of elimination (requiring a pen and notepad) in order to determine a victim’s murderer, weapon, and room, Why is more of a combination of Gin Rummy and Concentration, requiring that you declare the identity of a haunted house’s ghost along with the weapon with which they were murdered. Only cards and game pieces are used in Why; pen and notepad not required. This makes for faster play, which is nice. You can do a quick two-outta-three session in about an hour.

After Alice in Chains, Palladium, Hollywood CA, 02.13.2010.
The series with the hot twins.
There were actually two different songs, embedded below. While I’m probably partial to the (second) version with the brunettes on the Jet Skis, I was also drawn to the idea of the double-great feeling making me realize Doublemint’s the one for me:
A double pleasure’s waiting for you,
A double pleasure from Doublemint Gum,
A double-great feeling,
Making you realize,
Doublemint’s the one for you!
Double-fresh,
Double-smooth,
Double-delicious to chew
Double dippin’,
Double-flippin’,
Double-jumpin’ for a double score,
Double-smashin’ good times,
Keep you coming back for more,
But the single most favorite,
Double in the world is,
Double-good,
Double-good,
Doublemint Gum.
Is it the music that’s killing me? Or is it 1:11? Or is it 1:39? And who told him to bend his left leg at 1:11?

When Hurricane Hannah separated two white tigers from their mother, Anjana came to the Rescue. Anjana, a chimp at TIGERS in South Carolina , became surrogate mom and playmate to the cubs, even helping with bottle feeding, according to The Sun. This is something Anjana does all the time, having helped raise leopard and lion cubs on several occasions.
February. Ten.
Ev’rything going as planned.
Okay, maybe not.
