I was going to blog this yesterday but then I decided it was too depressing. But then it has been haunting me ever since I heard about it and I think I even dreamt about it so I just wanted to share. So sad. Also, according to this article, they are even eating their young.
Seeing this sign is one of my favorite parts of driving to Montreal. What does this sign mean and/or is it racist?
I’m stealing this from Amenity’s Facebook posting: Yeondoo Jung—Wonderland. This Korean artist recreates children’s drawings with photography using camera/perspective tricks and lots of cool props/costuming.
Yay…the first of many end of the year music lists. Which I love.
I have only seen 43 of of these. This is just what I needed to fill out my Netflix queue.
Awesome. There is now an actual organization called Rent-A-Ruminant where you can rent animals to come eat your brush and shrubbery away when you need it cleared. So smart! The probably do a good job fertilizing the ground as well. Rental Goats article from Good Magazine.
London Tube-style map of the US Highway system. Click here for full version.
I still like the poster of the simplified version of the highway system that I have better, though.
Interesting idea. The Dutch are installing GPS devices on every car to keep track of mileage and then charging people a per mile fee of around 16 cents a mile.
As Good Magazine points out, this does not do anything to encourage higher mileage cars, but it’s still an interested idea. I would think it wouldn’t be too long (at least if this existed in America) before people figured out how to finagle their GPS’ to show fewer miles.
I wanted to do this for the one year anniversary of my blog but things have been so crazy busy that it totally escaped me. This is a map of all of the visits to my blog since its creation in September of 2008 (please note that I did not make these maps, they are from Google Analytics so bear with the poor map projection). I have had visits from 32 countries 39 states for a total of 5,458 total visits. Most of this is thanks to my well travelled friends and since it’s a bit hard to see on the world map, I thought I would list them all here, in order of number of visits:
USA, New Zealand, Portugal, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Zambia, Israel, Australia, Norway, Hungary, Iceland, Canada, Japan, Austria, France, Belgium, South Korea, China, Mexico, Phillipines, Malawi, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Poland, Singapore, Nicaragua, Greece, Argentina, and Panama.
Whew, that’s quite a selection. Thanks to all of my readers and I will try to be better about posting now that I have a better handle on my job!
Since my job consists of calling out to professors and there is actually no one in school today, there is nothing to do at work. While I wait impatiently for early dismissal at 3pm, I have some time to catch up on my Google Reader and therefore will probably be posting like mad.
I really enjoyed browsing over this interview with Nezoon about his work with furry installations in Good Magazine.
