John Steinbeck Adaptations on TCM tonight … Memories from the Source
Wow, this started as a postscript to the article I posted on the Examiner going over tonight's schedule of John Steinbeck films airing on TCM, but even though I like to inject a little of myself into my writing over there this just seemed far too opinionated and personal for what I consider a news site. But even after I reached paragraph three and realized this I just kept on writing figuring I'd have someplace to post it. Here you go: ...and now for a little editorial note. D

Ephemeral Forgotten Bookmarks: Newly Popular or Just Gaining a Little Attention?
This past summer Mary Weil posted a story about forgotten bookmarks over on his widely read ephemera blog. The post talked about Michael Popek, a used and rare bookseller in Central New York who came across so many neat items marking the pages inside books that he started his own entertaining site under that very name, Forgotten Bookmarks.

Born on This Date: Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera
It's been awhile since I've done a boxing birthday over here, but tonight when I was on the IMDb of all places, taking a look at which movie stars celebrated a birthday on October 26, I was surprised to find not one, but two, classic Heavyweight champions born on this date just 4 years apart. All the more interesting, the Heavyweight crown changed hands when they fought each other, though not in late October but June 29, 1933. The gigantic Primo Carnera, born October 26, 1906, wrested the crown from Jack Sharkey, born the same date, 1902, in Sharkey's first defense of the title at the Long Island City Bowl. James P. Dawson of the New York Times reported in the July 30 edition:

Strat-O-Matic Negro League All-Stars Coming November 1
I was surprised and excited to come across a picture of a gentleman holding up a couple of Strat-O-Matic cards in this past Tuesday's edition of Newsday. The gentleman it turns out is Hal Richman, who invented Strat-O-Matic as an 11-year-old in 1948 and unleashed what I believe is the most realistic and most fun baseball simulation game ever on the world in 1961.
