Safe As Milk

I like this old camera. It was a hand-me-down from a friend and it takes fantastic photos.

I’m going to try to get another photo-a-day month. It will be tricky with all of the travel I have scheduled, but that will be part of the adventure.

This is killing me to death.

Via fimoculous.com, where Rex sees the internet before the rest of us.

For reference, here is RickRoll explained in a scientific way.

(turns out the kissing dude is part of an extensive Converse ad campaign oh well. still jarring as hell and I am probably still giggling about it)

I do love these photos from outer space. NASA is ruling schools these days. Details on the photo here.

Some screen-printed goodness, based on his Diesel ad work. At $400 it’s a big ticket but damn, that guy can draw.

You can buy one here.

If you were looking for a reason to go ahead and sign up for Twitter, here are two of them.

Jim Callahan, whose work we enjoy greatly, has posted a bunch of new images at his flickr. Well worth checking out.

I go back and forth on the merits of graffiti and other street art. There is a new (to me) movement of these stencil guys doing work on wood and paper, and then selling them as prints. It knocks the ‘vandal’ tag off of the work, which is a positive, but that sort of illegal element was always part of the draw for me. I guess an upshot is that you get to enjoy the art in your own home. But then wasn’t the point of bombing a wall or pasting a billboard to get your art or message in the face of the public?

Like I said, I go back and forth on it.

I like this a lot, though, from Les Enfants Terribles:

“Tuesday, there wasn’t even a fuss. Wednesday, the world was a little different. By executive order, the Secretary of the Treasury may now seize the property of any person who undermines efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq. The Secretary may make his determination in secret and after the fact.”

There hasn’t been much media notice of this; the UK’s Guardian has an article explaining how the new authority will only be used to go after terrorists

This is the first tomato of 2007.

It’s going to be delicious tonight, with some cucumber and vinaigrette.

It makes a great tee.
