Selleck Waterfall Sandwich

Tom Selleck Waterfall Sandwich

Ha ha, I have a bit of a soft spot for internet absurdities and Selleck Waterfall Sandwich delivers on that account. The man, his mustache, a waterfall and a sandwich for good measure, strangely entertaining..

Dogs are better than cats

Electric Powered Flying Suit

Holy Crap, NASA are working on this one man helicopter/plane concept that Q in MI5 would be proud of. They’re calling it the Puffin, minus a few propellers here and there, it definitely has some similarities:

Puffin

I love the quote on Scientific American’s article - “In my opinion, a mass-marketable version will need conventional seating and cup holders”. Yeah who cares if it’s an electric-powered flying suit, I need a fucking cup holder before I get in that thing ;)

Beer Advent Calendar

Beer Advent Calendar

Just got a comment on an old post that I’d completely forgotten about. Felt like it needed a re-post, such a simple genius idea (not mine sadly), need to remember this before mid December next year..

Origins of rock band names

Origins of rock band names

Quite an amusing read through this list of rock band names and their origins. I was most surprised to find out that 2 bands names (Lovin’ Spoonful & 10cc) both refer to how much spunk you can fit in a teaspoon…

Circus Clown Bikes

Circus Clown Bike

These old clown bikes are too cute, half tempted to buy a couple for my niece & nephew, or maybe I need an impractically small and rusty old bike..? Probably not, but yours for $385 from Modern 50.

Awesome Halloween costume

Surprisingly creepy Halloween costume

I take my hat off to Eric Testroete for his Halloween costume this year. It was inspired by ‘big-head mode’ in videogames and is surprisingly creepy when seen in the real world.

Optical Illusion

Optical Illusion

Ha ha, this cracked me up, I didn’t understand it at first - can you see what’s not as it seems it this picture?

That girl climbing into the bunk has got her arse out right?

The biggest tosser perhaps?

The World Stone Skimming Championships

I‘m going to have to start a category ‘events I wish I’d gone to but only just found out about them after they happened’ to remind me of these things next year. Ok I’ve done it.

This shot is taken from the The World Stone Skimming Championships 2009 on Easdale Island, Scotland. I saw that Anne Ward (I Like) had been this year. Apperently the island is made out of slate, so has plenty of little flat rocks that are ideal for skimming.  It’s strange that the results are in meters, me and my brother always used to play the most bounces wins. Either way I want a go and will try and remember it next year!

Anyhyow,  £3,322.75 started bid… and 4 days left on the auction.

Time Lapse Beard Action

Great time lapse video from German hiker Christoph Rehage growing his beard (and barnet) while walking back home from Beijing?! He didn’t make it all the way back to Germany, just across China (4646km), but he did keep a bloody good account of his hair growing.

I’ve seen a few facial hair time lapses over the years, none as good as this. Some times it’s the standard day by day frame by frame technique, but usually he mixes it up with multiple shots as he rotates showing more of the scenery, or people in the background and some great timely facial expressions.

Strange seeing him shave it all of at the end, looks a completely different person, character even, I think he looks like a nicer person with the beard, he’s kinda slightly sinister without? Anyhow I know when I shaved my beard off after the CDT it freaked me out and I grew it straight back to cover the person I didn’t recognised below. If think with the caption “was it really me?” at the end, he felt the same. Grow it back Christoph, beards are best!

More cake action!

Cake baking

While I’m on the subject of cakes, I came across this Threadless Cake baking competition (now ended). Basically you had to re-create a Threadless t-shirt as a cake, my favourite was this You Are The Best cake by Leslie Evans. Look at the all the bloody detail on that lettering?! Everyone seems to be using ‘fondant’ though? Not nearly as tastey as marzipan, yum yum, looks like it might be a bit more sturdy to work with though.

Chipmunk vs Ewok

Chipmunk vs Ewok

God knows how long photographer Chris McVeigh (powerpig) had to wait for these chipmunks to get in position to take these shots.. Worth the wait though, they’re amazing! All shots from the series here »

This one of Chewy handing over the nut cracks me up:

Chewy feeding a chipmunk

Make sure you check out the rest of his work, consistently awesome.
