Arcade Fire

Have you seen this yet? It’s a music video for an Arcade Fire song that seriously pushes the boundaries of the internet as an artistic medium. You may need the Google Chrome browser to view it. If you don’t have Chrome, use this as an excuse to download a great browser. Then enjoy the show.

Arcade Fire has been involved in some other inventive video creations. I like the Neon Bible one.

Mere Pencils

Wow! These amazing sculptures are by carpenter Dalton J. Paul Getty. You can see more here. Thanks to my friend Becky for this one.

Bike Camper

One of my life goals is to take a long bike trip, and something like this might just come in handy. A mini camper that you pull with your bike! Fun! (Via swissmiss.)

Voices We Shall Never Hear

Here’s a wonderful quotation by Henry Beston that I’ve come across a few times while doing my elephant research:

“For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not our brethren, they are not our underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the Earth.”

Pork Pine

That’s a baby porcupine! This and many other wonderful photographs of animals are available at The Animal Print Shop. The website is very well designed and worth a visit even if you aren’t interested in a totally awesome animal print. (Via Swissmiss.)

Louis the Donkey

Toy by saracarr.

Had an old friend in town for the weekend. Lots of good conversation.

Words

Enjoyable. That’s all I have to say about that. Actually, I have one more thing to say: it was made as part of one of my favorite radio shows, Radiolab. I enjoyed listening and not watching. By Everynone and via Booooooom.

Peas

Well, isn’t that cute? Is Cathe a name? The point is that you could make one of those rollers, and it would be cool. (Project by Just Something I Made and via Ffffound!)

This is cute too. A man grew a pea plant in his lung.

Flores

Bouquet by saipua. Just got back from a very beautiful wedding that had very beautiful flowers that were all sustainably and semi-locally grown.
