Graffiti and Art History Canon

Sure graffiti has been in galleries since the eighties and documenters Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant largely started a tradition of capturing street art for over 30 years, but I never thought I'd see the day when a respected press like Thames & Hudson creates a survey.  I recently looked over Thames & Hudson's fall/winter catalog & found this gem.  Although the series usually lacks enough substance for serious study, the World of Art series is always a good primer.

Mashable has a recent post on the 30 most popular passwords stolen from LinkedIn.  In the post, Samantha Murphy wrote, "Number sequences such as '1234' and '12345' also made the list."  I couldn't help but think of the scene in the movie Spaceballs where the secret combination of 12345 is revealed.
