Remains of the Day: Great Scott!

As it was just a paragraph ago, time is still marching on. And if you hate wasting what precious time you still have trolling for parking spots—and you happen to park frequently in Hollywood—you’ll be thrilled to learn about the new Parker app. The Mayor’s Office in Los Angeles calls the app “the nation’s first-ever mobile application to give drivers a faster and more convenient way to find open metered parking spaces and nearby garages.” Remember, of course, that it’s illegal to use your phone while driving in LA. So, good luck with that.

Artist Adam Reeder (no relation to ) shares this time-lapse video, wherein he sculpts Plato holding an iPad. That is, Plato’s holding the iPad. Adam’s holding the clay, I presume. Why Plato, and why holding an anachronistic iPad? The piece is actually an evolution of Reeder’s series, which depicts Pan, Atlas, Zeus, and other fine gods with various portable Apple devices. Perhaps this will be the start of Reeder’s Greeks Who Could Have Been Geeks collection.
