Tara Donovan
Tara Donovan's work is amazing. I love the styrofoam cups, buttons, toothpicks and scotch tape.

Now this is cool. Also, clever. Also, creepy. (But less creepy than cool + clever.)

Solar powered horse and Joanna Newsom
I cannot take my eyes off this motorized, solar-powered paper horse walking in tune to the most amazing Joanna Newsom.

P.S. If you ever find yourself not knowing what to get me for a birthday or holiday, get me some Joanna Newsom. I heart her.

highly entertaining interview
Drawn, the cartooning blog, just posted a link to the Sneeze, which might be my new favorite blog. 
This is very important for the enjoyment of this overly fantastic story, interview and illustration evolution. You must read the story in order. There are three parts:
- Part 1: The mystery of the face on the cake
- Part 2: How to draw a face
- Part 3: Face to face, 60 years in the making
Go now. Off you go. Read it all.

Information Aesthetics did it again. Their post on swarm related videos is incredible.

poetry stand
How a precocious group of high school poets learned to provide verse on demand.
And so, in the most natural way, people drifted over to the poetry stand to get their free poems. The kids delegated the assignments among themselves based on a batting order we drew up on the ride over, but they made exceptions if a particular request played to one of their strengths. A girl in jeans and a bandana wanted a love poem for Dick Cheney. “Dick Cheney? I got this,” said Zebbi...
From our bench Rich and I watched the greeters intercept people and enjoyed hearing reports of how far the scouts had ventured to send back customers. We tried to predict who would approach the poetry stand on their own and who wouldn’t. A stout guy in a Yankees cap veered toward the tables, then stopped. “C’mon, c’mon,” we rooted. He passed by, then looped back again. It was first-rate people-watching, and it made me wonder about the place of poetry in the lives of ordinary Americans. I thought of the public faces of people; and I thought of the pure emotion that wells up from reading poetry. Who “looks” like they’d be into poetry? Nobody — with the possible exception of those walking around barefoot in wings or a bed sheet. Who loves poetry? Given the right context, everyone who loves music.

Underwater sculpture garden
This under water sculpture garden in Granada, West Indies was started by Jason Taylor. It seems that there are several pieces there.
Can you imagine how creepy it would be to come upon this while scuba diving?

orange glass and blog
I was drawn out of Google reader to Andy Bell's photoblog because of this photograph of orange glass. I can't stop looking at it. When I landed on the site, I fell for the blog. I love this interface as a photography blog.
