Weekend Roundup: Jonathan Winters Edition

Comedian Jonathan Winters

Welcome to the weekend! Let’s take a gander at what caught my eye this week.

• Comedian Jonathan Winters died this week at the age of 87. He was an improv genius, and possibly one of the funniest folks to ever live. If you aren’t familiar with his work, might I recommend taking a look at a bit he did on the old Jack Paar show. Jack hands Jonathan a stick and tells him to do something with it. The next four minutes are an improve comedy clinic.

• The Dayton Daily News, my hometown paper, highlights the alleged criminal mastery of one Israel Frost. He is accused of stealing an item from a local pawn shop, and then attempting to sell it back to that same store. Five minutes later.

• Google Street View is a great way to take virtual trips around town, or around the world. The folks over at Google-Street-View.com have some of the better planned, and not so planned moments captured by those roving camera cars.

Have a great weekend!
