Logan's Run Re-Created in Lego

By Don Quixote 2x4

Seeing this from multiple sources, and it needs to go up here. The model is impressive, of course, but I think the photography is really great, too. Wondering if Galspanic, our resident badass LEGO builder and photographer has anything to say on this subject.

Cathy's Mom's Pho Recipe

A couple of months ago, Cathy's mom was generous enough to share her pho recipe with us. Even better, she demoed the entire process, involving us at every step. This, friends, is the right way to teach a non-linear multistage process! Also, we got to totally eat it after, which seems to have spoiled me for the pho found in Vietnamese restaurants. I have yet to make Cathy's mom's pho at home, but I have compiled my notes into this stupid drawing, posted here with permission. Start in the upper left hand corner and work your way down.

Also there are photos. Not as many as I would have liked. Fugu and I took photos, but as it happens, we both took photos of exactly the same things.

Big thank you to Cathy and her mom.

Again, an amazing set of photos from The Boston Globe.

It's what's inside that counts.

Society6

Hi, artists and likers of art. There are a lot of sites like this, but society6 has a nice interface, community tools, and grants--both financial and non-financial opportunities. Also, some good work to browse.

Flip through the Discover link for a good time.

"Party Shirts" by zsumoz. See the whole set here.

P.S. zsumoz is secretly Dick Vomit, contributor to Pieces of Things and Acme Shorts. Both Dick Vomit and zsumoz are one hell of a photographer. He recently quit his day job to motor west and complete his labor of non-sexual, completely platonic love, a documentary about the ex-band Walt Mink. I don't know why I felt compelled to write a bio, but there it is. Happy trails to you, brother!

tilt-shift movie

There's been some tilt-shift/(photoshop-shift) photos floating around the web --> here's a pretty sharp movie version along the same idea.
