Looking Back To The 1960s To See How They Thought “The Home Of 1999” Would Look (Video)
February 19, 2020
Dayum! That computer was a hardcore teacher… telling the kid, “You FLUNK” though. Wow. Hahaaa!
Interesting looking at how we look at the future from the soon-to-be-past we reference as the present. Like, look at this forward-looking History Channel Flashback clip.
In 1967, Philco-Ford produced a short film exploring what the “Home of the Future” might look like. We re-examine this film to see what they got right about the future – and what was wrong with the past.
– HISTORY
We always look at the future through a lens formed in the present though… For instance, consider the archetypal roles on display here: father is still the money-maker, while mother is still the home-maker (and lunch-maker… Ha!).

N.O.R.E. (Papi) – “What What” Documentary (Trailer) [NSFW]
January 23, 2013
Back in the day before the internet & street DVDs were prevalent, Queens emcee NORE recorded many moments with a videocamera. From the looks of this trailer to his new documentary he’s captured many intimate moments with significant individuals in the music industry over the years. Be on the look out for the “What What” documentary. This makes me want to start pouring through the 100s of old videos & interviews I recorded from 90′-’98 as well. There’s some brief nudity in this trailer that may Not Be Safe For Work.
“Nore was taping everything. We used to go around with this and just hit record, if we wanted an interview we made it happen. What What!”
