Found over at Kottke, this is most cool. 

Via the ever-wunnerful Kottke, check out this AMA with the ADR (automated dialogue replacement) editor from The Wire.

Fun.

In the winter of 1997 I was in L.A. on a job. I invited a woman to see a Buster Keaton movie at a place called Old Town Music Hall. She stood me up, but I went anyway and had one of the greatest nights of my life. I recently visited L.A. and went back to see another Buster movie at the Music Hall. Good to know such a place exists, you know?

So I was thrilled to see this movie posted over at This Must Be The Place (via Kottke).

Via Kottke, dig this funski:

Oh, man. Kottke delivers with this post on how to buy olive oil. It stars Tom Mueller who wrote an absorbing book about olive oil (birthday gift from mom).

I use a basic Fairway brand for cooking and then have a couple of nicer ones for more delicate things like salads. Frantoia does me right though I’m far from an expert.

Swiping more wonderfulness from Kottke, dig Greg Alessandrini’s NYC photographs…

Via the always nourishing Kottke, check out Studs Terkel’s 1963 interview with Dylan. 

Dig Kottke’s holiday gift guide.

Over at Kottke dig these cool Japanese manhole covers. 

Found over at Kottke, this map of midtown Manhattan circa 1890.

Head on over to Kottke and check out the two videos on the making of a Steinway grand piano.

Photography was once an act of intent, the pushing of a button to record a moment. But photography is becoming an accident, the curatorial attention given to captured images.

Kottke curates a thoughtful post about the state of photography in an Instagram world.

Again with the Kottke because it’s beautiful and I can’t stop reading and loving it.

So very cool.
