Here's why I wanted Andrew Jackson's
picture from the U. S. $20 bill. When the bills were first introduced,
besides thinking they don't look like real money, I felt that the image of
Andrew Jackson looks like that of actor Jeff Conaway, known for
playing Bobby Wheeler on Taxi and Zach Allan on Babylon 5.
When I bring this up, most people are like “Who?” and I'm going “Jeff
Conaway … you know … the dude from Taxi,” and all the time I'm getting
blank stares from people, or the scrunched up face of concentration as they
try to remember this semi-familiar name from a TV show from 20 years ago.
But now I have proof! Photographic proof no less!
And for the record, Jeff Conaway has a Kevin Bacon number of
two.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
