Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Interesting profile of Robert Duvall focusing on his roles in Western movies. A little disappointed The Great Santini wasn't mentioned in the article but Duvall's played so many great characters and there's only so many words in the post (HT Execupundit)

- The Deceptive Design Hall of Shame

- Speaking of deceptive - Google won't honor medical leave during layoffs. Reminder that Google got rid of its motto "Don't be evil" in 2018.

- Maybe it hasn't been translated into Russian or Chinese?

Ricky Jay

The great Ricky Jay has passed away.

No offense to Penn & Teller but Ricky Jay was my favorite magician. If you watch the documentary about him Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay you'll understand why.

Besides Penn & Teller did not have a recurring role on one of my favorite shows like Ricky Jay did on Deadwood as Eddie Sawyer.

RIP Ricky.
