Big ups to old pal Fin for bringing this to my gleeful attention: Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward does Pokemon in the style of Adventure Time. te he.
(oh and if you’ve not seen the best engagement photos ever, do it now).
In general, I try to stay away from politics. Not just with this blog, but also thanks to that restraining order (turns out parliment is not actually full of bees and they don’t appreciate the enriching benefits of free honey). Bad jokes aside, even with election just round the corner, and a burning desire to rant on it, this is too much fun to not post…
That there is an image take of the volcano Mt Rainier at sunset.
Standing at 4300 meters above Boulder, Colorado, it’s the only mountain in the area and on this particular day, cast this amazing shadow against the clouds. It’s a beautiful image and quite surreal, but I love it more for the fact that it gives the impression of a larger scale to the world on a very simple, yet natural level.

Strange to note, but I’ve finally been cooking often at home since moving in some months ago, which probably contributes to my liking of this series. (Plus they also look like moons. Yes.)
Irregardless, this is pretty damn impressive.
It is familiarly said that beer … is an acquired taste; one gradually trains oneself — or just comes — to enjoy that flavor. What flavor? The flavor of the first sip? No one could like that flavor, an experienced beer drinker might retort: ‘Beer tastes different to the experienced beer drinker. If beer went on tasting to me the way the first sip tasted, I would never have gone on drinking beer! Or to put the same point the other way around, if my first sip of beer had tasted to me the way my most recent sip just tasted, I would never have had to acquire the taste in the first place! I would have loved the first sip as much as the one I just enjoyed.’ If we let this speech pass, we must admit that beer is not an acquired taste. No one comes to enjoy the way the first sip tasted. Instead, prolonged beer drinking leads people to experience a taste they enjoy, but precisely their enjoying the taste guarantees that it is not the taste they first experienced.

A really cool concept video using album cover art.
Dunno who what BT Vision is exactly, but the quality of these renders are fantastic
It’s twisted and like a Lynch/Švankmajer crack baby, but I like it…
I’m gonna need to start coming up with better titles for all these posts. Anyhow, each links to a photographer’s gallery and clicking also dispenses candy from your optical disk dive.
That is, an impressive 2,000 unpuffed dandelions hanging as part of an installation by German artist Regine Ramseier. Each was picked in the wild and transported via car on a specially designed pallet system to preserve them before hanging. A document (though in German) of the process can be found here. And the artist’s web page here.
