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.

Won't stay down

I thought I could handle it, obviously.

I would not have gone on it had I thought otherwise. I was doing quite fine until the cages started rotating end over end, with no end in sight. It was then that my stomach and I had a rather sudden disagreement concerning where its contents should be. (I thought it could at least have the decency to wait until I was out of public view.)

And I lost, becoming a spinning, spiraling anti-tornado of partially broken-down (but still quite recognizable) lunch and breakfast, in that order. Apparently the ride attendant either caught sight of the expelled substance or heard the polite shout of the person sitting next to me to end the ride early, an idea I was fully behind.

“Are you going to clean that up? Otherwise it’s five dollars for me to” the merciful yet gleeful ride attendant spurted, drawing the attention of the other carnival attendants nearby like a hungry pack of hyenas. “I see you’ve had some rice today.” How observant. I said I would clean up after myself, but he declined as its part of the carnival attendant job description.

I quickly left the premises, as I had additional upheavals ahead, although of a lesser volume. Some things are meant to be private. I fortunately got a few photos and videos (“unfortunately” none of the event) before my body so publicly betrayed me.

Otherwise it was a fun day at fair.
