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 [...]

In case you haven’t heard, flickr has added video capabilites. Of course there are plenty of nay-sayers, and being a fan of great photography, I can understand how adding video could dilute what makes flickr great. Of course, there are lots of talented artists out there on flickr who can make motion an [...]

I remember a series of cards at Jungle Red in OKC that all had small illustrations of bugs on the front, and contained such witty messages as “I want my stuff” and “You’re old, Happy Birthday”. I can’t say I ever actually gave one to any of my friends, but I secretly wanted to.
Well, [...]

I’ve started following “Right Some Good”, the art blog of Kirsten Anderson . She writes about artists she likes, and I’ve found I agree on many of them. One recent recommendation is Nathan Ota, who illustrates curious creatures like robots, eyeless birds and monster tree trunks. His art often has a [...]

Kirsten Anderson over at Right Some Good has posted some great art by fellow artist Brian Despain.  His work has the sort of tone I love (a la steampunk/Myst) and features another geek fav - robots!  What more could you ask for.  I’d hang this on my wall.
Perhaps I should check into that…
Meanwhile, check [...]

Wired.com has posted a series of photos of small modular houses sure to please the eco-friendly minded. But more than just environmentally conscious, these houses have a certain Zen that I want when I think about building a vacation house. I mean, how much more escapist can you be in a house sitting [...]
