Feeling nostalgic today? Take a trip back to 2001, when the economy was…well, pretty shitty. Dot-coms were folding left and right, TRL was huge and Google was gaining dominance. In honor of Google’s 10th birthday, our pals Larry and Sergey have launched a search page that uses the oldest available index the company has, which is from 2001. The old logo is even there! Search around for anything 2001 or earlier and you’ll find the results to amusing to say the least.
The Kubrick classic lives on in fantastic plastic. Artist Michael Lau is working on a new show dubbed CSBOOTH15. While that’s fantastic and all, the real treat is one of the plastic figurines Lau has created for the show. Donning an all-orange spacesuit and a cheesy box-o-electronics on his chest, the astronaut closely resembles that dude from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
No details are available on price and distribution, so we may never be able to get our paws on one of these. At least there’s always the “Space Gate” sequence to trip out to…
If you’re interested in seeing the figure or seeing Michael Lau’s work, his show premiers in early July.
