brilliant lightshow in the skies of canada

On Thursday night a huge meteor lit up the night air over Edmonton, Canada. Fortunately, a car with a mounted video camera happened to be driving right towards the impromptu phenomenon and got some great footage of the event. What are the odds of that?

jimi hendrix live painting by denny dent

A few years back I remember seeing an intense painting of Hendrix hanging in a friend’s apartment. I found out later it was painted live to a music track by the guitarist at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. I’m really amazed by the energy that Denny Dent puts has brush strokes as [...]

stone age temple at gobelki tepe in turkey

One of the T-shaped monoliths in Gobelki Tepe, this one bearing a relief of a fox.

It’s more than twice as old as the Pyramids, or even the written word. When it was built, saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths still roamed, and the Ice Age had just ended.

The elaborate temple at Gobelki Tepe in southeastern [...]

kitty kungfu

Who can get enough of cat headed bipeds performing in a dance of death?
I am pleased in how disproportionally large, yet functional the cat heads are on the bodies they operate. One can only hold in baited breath for the further adventures of this lone warrior against the armies of the corrupt feline.

On an [...]

it’s cold outside, time to inflate the tires

strange glowing aurora over saturn

Staring at the below picture reminds me of the cauldrons and alchemy of past civilizations. It’s interesting that several other planets in the solar system share the same phenomenon as our own northern lights. That’s something that I would like to see with my own eyes someday.

A stunning light display over Saturn has [...]

ancient art of falconry

I was rummaging through old work in storage and found some entertaining drawings from 4th grade: warriors with mechanical birds perched on their shoulders to aid in battle.  I wasn’t sure where the idea came from then, but now know that its origins started in Falconry. There are even places allow you to [...]

voting after a day’s work

After putting in a day’s work, I headed off to vote.  If you haven’t done it yet, make sure to get out to your local precinct and caste your ballot.

Not too long ago my friend Joe sent this funny video to myself and others relating to the election.  Hahaha.  I was tricked at first and [...]
