40 Years In The Desert: Sacrilege!

01 December 2011

Sacrilege!

Seriously, some cultural icons should never be turned into advertisements.

I'm sure that Patrick McGoohan is turning over in his grave:

Yes, I know that this appears to be over 20 years old. The styling for the car is clearly 1980s, which implies that McGoohan approved, but I still do not approve.

Matthew G. Saroff said...: Well, it's perverse, but I feel better about his vision being stolen than it being sold.

Thanks for the update.

McGoohan was a singular genius.; 07 December, 2011 22:35

What is 40 Years in the Desert?

This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.

It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)

I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.

40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.

I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy. A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.

You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).

If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.

I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
