Welcome. This is a tumblelog. I use it mostly as a playground these days. Not much original content posted.
Griffin and Hoxie
Guess the Lego Movie Star. Tyler Clites created, and to add some context, it’s not like some bugger eating kid is slapping these Legos together between a bowl of Captain Crunch and his afternoon nap. Anyway, check them out.
Annular Eclipse. Nature is a trip. And everything you think you need you don’t. Read about the eclipse at the link.
Giant Cardboard Robot on the streets of Rouen. It’s a lonely picture in a way, or I’m just passing through a lonely moment and thus my filter is colored of melancholy, or both, or not. It’s a giant fucking cardboard robot so all that is inessential.
“Sketch Theatre serves to motivate and inspire artists from all walks of life. Here, aspiring artists are exposed to contemporary artists and the various career paths taken by these like-minded individuals who all began their careers with the primary process of putting ideas and expressions down with a pencil & paper. The brilliant myriad of artists featured on Sketch Theatre strip down and expose raw sketches on camera, never failing to captivate and inspire. Enjoy the show.” First noticed at Pimpvisual.
“Park, Set and Match” is Jorge’s misreading of London’s supermarket parking systems, transforming them into his own tennis tournament. These huge spaces, legally private property, are monitored by CCTV cameras and security guards, and offered for free to the clients to make shopping easier. To get into the game you need only buy some water and fruit. This will allow you to legally occupy the parking space for 2 hours. You can then set up your tennis match, which will be “televised” by the CCTV cameras, a public source recording allowing players to obtain a copy of their match through the Creative Commons Act.

1910 French prints that depict life in 2000. Fascinating, and illustrates that no matter how creative and imaginative your ideas they will remain tightly tethered to the age in which you live. First noticed at Quipsologies.
A deer wearing gym socks by Charmaine Olivia. I like this, but now I want to see a bear in a leisure suit, or an otter - in the suit, the otter, not the bear in the otter. An otter seems like a leisure suit wearing creature. Photo first noticed at BOOOOOOM!.
I’ve never been a fan of rules. They all got exceptions and if it’s got an exception then it’s not a rule, more like a stout guideline, but this is semantics I suppose, or relative to the ruling authority. I like this quote though. Think I might edit it to read, You are a victim of the boundaries you create, or You are a prisoner of the boundaries you create, but, again, semantics to some degree, as the message remains the same.
I’ve been playing with the Zendesk Buddha Machine Wall this morning. Quite lovely. The Buddha Machine plays ambient sounds in a recursive loop. It’s “a modified version of a device used in Buddhist temples throughout Asia, which feature repeating loops of chanting monks or nuns.” Check it out, or read more about the simple gadget.
So the Zendesk Wall lays down 21 virtual Buddha Machines for you to toy with at your leisure. As I said, quite lovely. I ended up throwing the site into Fluid, converting it into an embedded SSB with low opacity and sticking it on a specific Space.
