Well, it’s New Year’s Eve. It’s been years since that meant more to me than just sitting at home with my wife and counting down the last seconds of yet another year gone by. Honestly, I don’t miss going to parties. It really is a lot of hassle, and staying at home is so much [...]

I love it when sculpture is made from found objects. I think the above, and the other pieces at the site, are some of the finest examples of found object sculpture I have ever seen. I’ve also come across a couple of other sites I wanted to share either because they also had some great [...]

No phone, no lights, no motor car, not a single luxury…

December 22nd 2005

Saw this over on chrisdiclerico.com, and had to share it. This guy is absolutely insane. No, really. Go see. He climbs 400+ feet in a little over four minutes with no safety lines or nets or, hell, nothing but his bare hands and shod feet. Insaaaaane! Also, note that, while the video itself is SFW, [...]
