Random (Thursday): Digital Flag

[zrath]

Whoops, skipped a day.
Random for yesterday:





These new video billboards have been going up around town for the past 3 months (this one is at Santa Monica and Sepulveda).
They display slideshows of still images, mostly advertising.
No animations yet.
I think this has to do with city ordnances or state laws regarding visual nuisance and/or distractions.
I could be utterly completely wrong.

We're truly (not until these laws are reversed) living IN THE FUTURE!!!

(I do not endorse Yoshinoya, but Zankou Chicken ain't bad!)

I'm not entirely unfond of Yoshinoya. The one in Times Square wasn't half bad anyway.

As for those billboards... they managed to get one or two up before they got all but banned pending some studies. Frankly, I think they're irritating as hell. Of course, one of the ones that got up before the backlash is near street level just across a creek from a major intersection- quite distracting when one tries to drive through there.
