+ Can’t you See I’m Busy!
If you have a boring desk job and a nosy boss Can’t you see I’m busy will help you pass the time during your 9 to 5. There are 3 games to choose from so far including a pong-style game, a space ship game, and a jenga type game – all stylized to look like word documents or spreadsheets. It would be better if they created games that haven’t been ripped-off so many times.
+ How Dali Payed the Bills
“About 30 years ago Dali was still forced to go out and more or less hustle his pictures to pay his hotel bills. One evening, drinking in the St. Regis bar in New York, he ran into a machinery manufacturer from Cleveland, A. Reynolds Morse. Their minds met and Mr. Morse bought a Dali on the spot for a piddling sum, a thousand dollars or so. He also said, as Dali tells it, “Any time you need another thou, send me a picture.” Dali sent him a good many in the course of time – Morse now owns about 400 Dali works, and is building a private museum in Cleveland to display them. If he ever disposed of them at current market prices, from being a minor-league Cleveland millionaire he would become one of the 57 richest men in the world.” Dali’s Dollars, Robert Wernick for LIFE Magazine, part of an article on Dali’s money-making, 1970
Also, a thousand dollars in 1940 is about $15 thousand now, adjusted for inflation.
