MC Escher’s epic print “Relativity” might be my favorite work of modern art. The original appears here:
Well a Spanish artist named Nico Roig (link to his panorama page) in Barcelona who toys with 360 Panoramas has taken general “Relativity” and made it special “Relativity” with a fantastic tribute. Hop through the jump to check it, and another work out. Read more…
I don’t mean to mock. I really don’t. Tea Baggers, as a whole, are no less moronic than the masses of Americans that march for or against something they don’t really understand. The difference is that the Tea Baggers don’t have eloquent leadership or spellcheckers (or anyone with the simple capacity to tell them that they shouldn’t use “tea bagging” as a verb).
Nevertheless, there is something especially amusing about the typos made by the Tea Baggers… it may be because they have such an affinity for signs and such an incapacity to get them right in both concept and execution. Over on Flickr, user Pargon has assembled a great pool of 140 photos (and counting) showing some of the greatest Tea Bagger typos. The slideshow is below. Enjoy (or cry for America).
This past Saturday night was Easter. I’m not a religious man, but I do attend this service annually. At midnight, there is the outdoor celebration of Christ’s rising. This year, it was greeted with the blooming of flowering trees throughout Manhattan. It made for a nice scene and some fun photography, some with time lapse, none with flash.

This is a character you’re likely to not know unless you’re a participant in college sports message boards. On the Rivals.com network, in particular, LSUFreek is legendary for providing hilarious animated GIFs.
Terrance Donnels (the man behind the screenname) was recently granted his own domain on SportingNews.com to further distribute his images and thoughts. You can visit that site here, but really all you need to do is follow his Twitter feed @LSUFreek.
Linked after the jump are some of my favorite LSUFreek animated GIFs. There are a ten of them, so it may take a second to load. Read more…
I’ve read TZSG as the add-on to World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which is a book I greatly enjoyed. I can’t really say the same for TZSG. I’ve not read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and admit that I don’t see myself doing so. But I wholeheartedly recommend World War Z.
Do the walking dead read? At Borders they apparently do.
Animated GIFs hold a certain, odd fascination for me. They’re no more impressive than streaming video, but their simplicity and, often, repetition is engrossing.
Few Animated GIF nature albums have impressed me as much as the one I came across on Tumblr and Flickr by Khron:
I recommend you check out both. In the meantime, I’ve placed a few of my favorites after the jump. They’re big files, so be wary when clicking if you care about a non-fast page download or bandwith. Total size is about 7.5MB.
Saturday through Sunday, New York was pelted with about a foot of snow. We escaped with a lot less damage done than DC and even parts of the metropolitan region, but a good snow always can be fun. Attached are some photos I took on my way to and back from the gym on Saturday and Sunday.
