Future (space)ships

These drawings are some very cool concept designs of sci-fi-y spaceships and their environments. Lovely.

Too true

This really is. And I thought I was alone.

Dr. Horrible

A creative new format that probably won’t catch on, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog made by Joss Whedon (of ‘Buffy’ fame, which I’m a huge fan of) is an enjoyable web experiment that’s worth checking out for the humor, songs, and story in a small package.

Best mating area

It’s nice to know that Madison ranks highly, as I’m available. (Note: was number one in their magazine but is last of the group online.)

Back in service

Breaking news. Well, that’s a relief (literally).

Spheres of light

These simple illuminated orbs are a fantastic outdoor decoration idea as the beautiful photos show. They seem to belong in their environment.

Paper cutouts

Wonderful paper art by Peter Callesen where the three dimensional creations spring forth from contiguous cutouts of a single piece of white paper.

Fireworks illustration

I really like the style of these illustrations by Ryan hicks using Fireworks which makes certain techniques intuitive. Found here.

Obama delegate switches to Hillary

It’s not a headline you would see, as at this stage it only goes the other way. But I wonder, is there a Hillary supporting superdelagate that once was an Obama supporter?

The worst

I’d have to agree, completely. There’s no reason to wait to judge. But there could be worse in the future, however unlikely.

A bigger picture

The Boston Globe’s new online section is accurately called The Big Picture for the large photos that are the primary content for the photo blog of thematic galleries related to the news. I love what’s been done in terms of content and presentation. There are a lot of stunning images on display.

What is the thought behind the idea? The creator, Alan Taylor, explains what he was after with this project that he initiated. He wanted to take fuller advantage of the medium (the web) in its ability to show what would be lost to the archives otherwise and in terms of size, which is significant, and the telling of stories better as the connected groups of photos do. The photos are not all suitable as front page photos but reflect a expansive view of what’s interesting.
