Here's looking at you, kids.
For unknown reasons, someone in northern Europe is leaving odd gifts for people all over the place - carved stone heads with rhymes taped to them. Each head (face, really) is carved into a large rock, about one foot in height, and from looking at the pictures of the faces they've been finding, they're very well done. Not exactly life-like, mind you (a little stylized), but each is unique and recognizable. So far 13 of them have been left on the doorsteps of random people, and each has been at least 100 miles from the others.
Supposedly, one of Britain's public …Read more...

Artists hide apartment in mall; Parker Lewis applauds.
Back in 2003, a small group of artists in the state of Rhode Island attempted a daring art hack: They snuck into the Providence Place Mall and hid an apartment in a corner of the parking garage as part of a guerilla documentary they were making on mall life. Michael Townsend and his cohorts, from all reports I've been able to dig up, set up a wall of cinderblocks which blended in with the rest of the structure to hide the 750 square foot chamber. A standard utility door allowed entrance and egress. The interior walls were also plastered and …

Now this is some hardcore Max Headroom-type stuff, here.
Yes, folks, there are televisions bolted to the tops of gas pumps in LA, or at least at the gas stations that my cow-orkers and I visited during our time on the west coast. They're all tuned to local news stations or CNN so that you can keep an eye on your stock prices or the traffic situation in LA while you're gassing up.
I was half-expecting to see a women pushing a baby carriage with a television in it down the sidewalk whilst pumping fuel.

Another batch of images taken while I was out west.
More from the museum at the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California.
Mothballed museum jets scattered around the parking lot and tarmac of the DFRC.
More pictures from the Mojave Desert. Blurring is due to the fact that they were taken from a minivan moving at 75 miles per hour on the highway.Read more...

If you've wanted to do something for a while but can't think of when to do it, sit down and think about what it would really take. Once you know what you need, you'll know how hard it would be, and chances are it won't be nearly as difficult as it feels. Sometimes, the feel of something is quite different from the practical aspects of something.
