On Seeing ‘MacBeth’ with Patrick Stewart

The production was pretty cool. With video projections and what not. The militaristic set—I think the Times described it as “equal parts abbatoir, hospital, and dungeon”—reminded me a lot of the Stargate planet Kelowna and the Stargate Atlantis civilization of the Genai—both militaristic people using technology and design reminiscent of the ’40s. Everything happened on [...]

365.68: Me, Recombobulating

365.68: Me, Recombobulating, originally uploaded by Adam “Slice” Kuban. The folks at General George Mitchell International Airport (MKE) certainly have a sense of humor: Airport Draws Smiles with “Recombobulation Area” Airport Director C. Barry Bateman thought the sign would be funny, so airport workers crafted it in their maintenance shop, [airport spokeswoman Pat] Rowe said. [...]
