Condorman was a fun - if ultimately silly and doomed to obscurity - movie. It's such a shame they couldn't be bothered to give it a decent digital transfer.
The Most Perfect Photo On The Internet
So, a chubby guy, with a hole in his pants, decides to do a flying kick, at what appears to be a coding party. Is that the most perfect setup for a photo? I say yes, but who was he?!
Rod Douglas
Rod Douglas was born in 1947, suspiciously about one week after Aleister Crowley, famous British occultist and believer in reincarnation, died. I’m not linking the two but it’s worth remembering. He died in August this year, so I wrote a eulogy, you're welcome to read it.

I bought a Cadbury's Creme Egg Twisted bar the other day. It was substandard. So I wrote this letter.
