To all my Facebook friends out there, here’s a humorous rant about the typical Facebook types.  If you’re easily offended, you may not want to read this.  It’s a little bit o’ smartass, but I like it.
I’ve started following TheOatmeal’s posts since reading “How to use an Apostrophe“.  I think his illustrations are fun and [...]

This animated short by Chris Jones is a dark and humerous style that I love.  “Beware the Goldfish” is an apt description from io9.

Here’s a fantastic Disneyland video from 1958, “Magic Highway USA” that explains all the wonderful technology we should be seeing today.  This includes, color-coded lanes (apparently, yellow leads to Dallas), Ceramic keels that creates bridges as it traverses the crossing, and escalators for cars for crossing difficult or steep mountains.

Unfortunately, it seems that we’ve only [...]

As a lover of funky illustration and good music, I was happy to find this video illustrated by Ian Stevenson with music by James Scott & The Town.

Last year for Halloween we sat on our front porch sipping wine while the neighborhood parents strolled by with their kids.  One of the advantages of living in Dallas is the weather in October.  However, with temperatures in the 100’s here in Texas for what seems like years, I’ve forgotten how nice the winters are [...]

The only thing more mesmerizing than this giant puppet is the music.  This little girl was created by by the Royal de Luxe theater company for a show called The Sultan’s Elephant.  The show has come and gone, but check out the video and the talent that went into creating the show.
Thanks to the Make: [...]

Thanks to Cory Doctorow over at Boing Boing, I’ve been enjoying some great photography at Red Nose Studio.  I just love the odd little worlds they’ve created in these images.  Of course, I love anything odd. I often wish I could just escape into these little worlds.
Oh, and check out “The Look Book”;  I’ve added [...]

I’m all about teaching alternative theories to evolution, so I bought a T-shirt to prove it.  (Hey, if you buy the T-shirt, it makes it so).  Wearscience.com has some great designs promoting “Teach the Controversy”, including the aliens-built-the-pyramids, the-devil-planted-fossils-to-trick-us, and the earth-as-center-of-the-universe.  They even have a design of the Great A’Tuin for you Discworld fans [...]

I’ve started collecting a few books on “futurism” from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s.  I love the illustrations and ideas about the future from a time when mankind was just going to the moon.  It seems there was no limit to where they thought we’d be 100 years from now (then).   Matt over at Paleo-Future [...]

Our friends over at Lifehacker have shared a great new way to browse Amazon.com just like browsing shelves at a bookstore.  Zoomii displays books on “shelves” grouped by Bestsellers, New Arrivals, Science Fiction, etc.  You can drag around the bookstore or even create your own shelves by using the search feature.  And when you [...]
