let this blow you mind

Artist Christian Faur creates his own crayons to exact color specifications and uses them in spectacular pointillist creations. His work is marvelous in concept, smart and deeper than meets the eye. I am sure that Faur has found more sales success and accolades with his crayon works, but based on the depth, sophistication and variation of his past work and other series, I’d say that Faur will always be exploring new series of paintings for us to marvel at.

New Olympus micro 4 Third's system (I want one!)

The Micro Four Thirds System enThe Micro Four Thirds System enables users to enjoy the same high image quality of the Four Thirds System's 4/3-type image sensor in a much more compact body, and also take advantage of significantly more compact lenses, particularly in the wide-angle and high-power zoom range.

The Four Thirds System offers the benefits of compact, lightweight performance, and the new Micro Four Thirds System takes this still further to enable development of ultra-compact interchangeable lens type digital camera systems unlike anything seen before.

The new Micro Four Thirds System also incorporates a greater number of lens-mount electrical contacts for the support of new features and expanded system functionality in the future.

Georgia Guidestones

(I recently read about this in an issue of Wired. It's fascinating.)

On a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia stands one of the world’s most bizarre and mysterious monuments. But it wasn’t created during ancient times. Known as the ‘Georgia Guidestones’, this stone structure of five 16-feet-tall, 20-ton slabs of polished granite is inscribed in eight languages – including Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Hindi and Swahili - with instructions for dazed post-apocalyptic survivors attempting to rebuild civilization. It’s oriented to track the sun’s east-west migration year-round, and has holes that allow gazers to locate the North Star. The Georgia Guidestones were commissioned by an anonymous group, whose identity remains a mystery.

World's tallest man gets a new bike. He's 8 feet 5.5 inches tall.

Here's to the Crazy Ones

Here's to the Crazy Ones

Here's to the crazy ones.

The misfits. The rebels.

The troublemakers. The round

pegs in the square holes - the

ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules and

they have no respect for

the status quo. You can praise

them, disagree with them,

quote them, disbelieve them,

glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing that you

can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

- Jack Kerouac

Fucked Up

Fucked Up is a Toronto based punk band that has truly impressed me.  If your a fan of Refused,  My Bloody Valentine and Suicidal Tendencies.  You'll love these guys.  Check out the track "days of last".   

These guys are the real deal.
