Don’t you just love it when you stumble onto a whole net niche you never knew about? I suppose I could have guessed it was out there, but I just discovered the world of retro design blogs…

My favorite so far is SO MUCH PILEUP, which offers such excellent features as Classic Bank Logos, weekly “Philately Fridays” with gems like these:

and don’t miss all the beautiful animated tv logos like these CBC bumpers!

It’s the ultimate l33t d00d video player — Courier New Tube. It converts selected YouTube videos to ASCII art – a feature also supported by VLC Media Player. (Pictured above: detail and scaled-down full-size screen shot from Weird Al Yankovic’s “White and Nerdy” video.)

Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to embed this awesome in-flight time-lapse video, so you’ll have to go watch it for yourself.

Edit: I seem to have the embed working, so I took the liberty of adding it in!

Yep. I’m back at work!
