Color Photographs from 1907-1915
Did you ever think that you could see color photographs from the early 20th century? Believe it or not, you can. Visit the Library of Congress online exhibition, The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record Recreated. These color photographs from Russia were made between about 1907 and 1915. The photographer used a special […]

Interview with the Search Engine
Reminiscent of the old Eliza artificial intelligence program, and a lot more “relevant,” SatireWire has interviewed Jeeves of AskJeeves.com in their article, Interview with the Search Engine ๐ You can try talking with Eliza here and read about Eliza in Wikipedia. My thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for finding this and brightening my day!
The iPod Flea
Watch the iPod Flea ad spoof. I know what I’m going to get for my teenage son for his next birthday! ๐
Encountering Hyperion (Movie)
This is way too cool. A “movie” of Hyperion, one of Saturn’s smaller moons, shot by Cassini between June 9 and 11, 2005. The image here is only the low resolution version. Check out Encountering Hyperion (Movie) at ciclops.org for the hi-res movie. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute

Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand
Thanks to Slashdot for this story, Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand, about a 646 pound catfish that has been caught in Thailand. Here is the original story, at National Geographic. I wonder if the fisherman was noodling for it. ๐
Google Video. Now with … hysterical samples
From my limited perspective, the most fun pieces of Google Video. Now with … video! from the Google Blog are the sample videos. You do need to install Google’s video player but it’s a small and easy installation. And, unlike the Windows and Real players, it just plays video… without taking over the rest of […]
Bride of the Fat White Vampire
For a fun, vampire guided romp through New Orleans, check out Andrew Fox’s Bride of the Fat White Vampire. I am certainly enjoying it.
Spectacular Conjunction
On Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights, you will be able to see Saturn, Venus and Mercury practically on top of each other in the night sky. The show begins on Saturday evening, June 25th. Step outside and look west toward the glow of the setting sun. Venus appears first, a bright point of light not […]
Cats use fax as toilet, spark Japan house fire
This is just too bizarre to be fiction! I’ve got two cats and a dog. Thank goodness none of them has ever tried to “use” the laser printer. ๐ฎ

Words fail me. Go watch this video from inside a tornado. Inside Tornadoes Multimedia @ National Geographic Magazine
Cindy & Geoff’s First House
I try not to fill my blog with personal drivel of no interest to anyone besides me… but even iron-willed Art can’t pass this by. ๐ Cindy and Geoff (my wife’s daughter and her husband) just bought their first house. They found a hundred year old beauty (in need of a little TLC) on a […]
Noodling: Catch a Fish by Hand
Bored? Try noodling. From the STLtoday article: The catfish chomped down on Jimbo Anderson’s ankle with a mouthful of teeth like tiny needles. Pain spun in his head, but Anderson thrust his bare right arm into the murky water, reaching into the hole where the catfish hid. The intrusion was met by the catfish’s teeth. […]
Straight Line Designs
Boing Boing gets credit for bringing this to my attention. Straight Line Designs creates some of the most unusual furniture I have ever been delighted to see. Coincidentally, their Flash animation is stunningly wonderful! I wish I had that talent. The intro page is cute but the main site menu make wonderful use of both […]
Missed Bridge
I mentioned Google Sightseeing once before but never imagined how useful it could be in finding hazardous roads. ๐ This “dangerous bridge” is just about 30 miles north of where I live. It is actually the Clark Bridge, spanning the Mississippi River at Alton, Illinois.
Fun Ideas for the Weekend
With the Memorial Day weekend looming large, I humbly offer these ideas to keep you busy. First, Boing Boing refers us to a web site with instructions on how to create your own Popsicles out of Guiness. The original site seems to have exceeded its bandwidth allocation so you’ll have to make do with this […]
Duct tape festival in Ohio
Without Boing Boing, I would never have found out about the Duct tape festival in Ohio, to be held on Father’s Day weekend (when else?). With a bit more tape, I think I can get the car to hold together well enough to get me there! ๐
