Plausible/Impossible: February 2009
http://plausible-impossible.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2009. Science Centers, The Future, and FUN. Chesley Bonestell's visions of space travel were big, sweeping visions. Who wouldn't. Want to live to see that Future? I worked for a science center for almost a decade. Even now, they remain a part of my life. So needless to say, I have a stake in these places. It comes down to my belief that science museums can be vibrant, influential places. They can change perceptions and lives. How, you might ask? When I was a kid, it was a real treat ...

Plausible/Impossible: The Most Vile, Unredeeming Hotels Ever Built—Ever!
http://plausible-impossible.blogspot.com/2010/06/most-vile-unredeeming-hotels-ever.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. The Most Vile, Unredeeming Hotels Ever Built—Ever! Early concept drawing for the Dolphin. The Swan and Dolphin Resorts at Walt Disney World. For a couple of chain hotels, there’s certainly been a great deal written about these buildings. At Walt Disney World, that meant exploiting the thing they had plenty of: LAND! The first is the most conspicuous: the architecture of the Swan and Dolphin. Model of The Walt Disney Company corporate. The second bit of finesse Eisner employed with ...

Plausible/Impossible: MUST BE SANTA
http://plausible-impossible.blogspot.com/2010/01/must-be-santa.html
Tuesday, December 1, 2009. All my life, I have dreamt of hosting the perfect Christmas party, with just the right blend of love, mirth, and decadance. Who knew Bob Dylan had already gotten there?

Plausible/Impossible: A Really, Really GOOD Film
http://plausible-impossible.blogspot.com/2010/01/so-i-finally-got-around-to-seeing.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. A Really, Really GOOD Film. So, I finally got around to seeing Disney’s latest animated feature The Princess and the Frog. Let me start off by pointing out that it is January 10th. I am an acknowledged Disney fan (or in Katzenberg-speak, a “Disnoid”). I have two kids, 5 and 4. And I had more than a week off between Christmas and New Year. And here I am, seeing this major release, almost a month after it opened wide. I thought this was a really, really good movie. Great? The song...

Monday, June 30, 2008. THE FUNMEISTER IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE FUNMEISTER! What I do mourn is the fact that Pleasure Island never lived up to its potential and now never will. There was always this nugget inside me that hoped the Mouse would someday see that PI could be "grown up" and still every bit as rich and fanciful as the best Disney attraction.

Plausible/Impossible: April 2008
http://plausible-impossible.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 5, 2008. I have loads of respect for Marty Sklar. So when he pipes up. About this Small World character overlay, you have to take notice. Two things I'll point out.the most minor point first:. Point One (edited for brevity's sake): Marty says that in order, "to make 'It’s A Small World' even more relevant to our guests, Tony Baxter.and I arrived at the same place eight years ago.to seamlessly integrate Disney characters into.scenes in the attraction.". I completely want to believe this!
