I have a “neice” who is the daughter of the daughter of best friends whom I have known all my life. Her name is Sahara. She has changed my life.

Draw in Flame
Saturday, March 27, 2010
I have no idea how I came across this site. But I sent its URL to a friend who has a creative small child and that’s why I was able to find it again. It is fun for kids and for anyone who appreciates the assistance it provides to drawers by creating a light palette. [...]

Freaky, Fabulous Dawn Chorus of Marcus Coates
Friday, March 26, 2010
Marcus Coates recorded birdsong, slowed it down, had people learn how to make the slowed down sound, then recorded them and speeded up the action to achieve a look of people making perfect birdsong. It is captivating. Watch how they move. I was fascinated right to the end. From Boing Boing. Link.

Proof of God

“Iceland,” by Gunnar Konradsson
Saturday, March 13, 2010
I love the music VERY much in this film called “Iceland” by Gunnar Konradsson. I use the 720 setting, turn up the sound and watch it with full screen on my love—my large-screen iMac. Nothing inspires like nature. And the music! The composition and the voice are so suited to the images and immediately engaging. [...]
Great Stamp Art
Friday, March 12, 2010
“Stamp Art” means different things to different people. I have seen work as boring as large scale work can be, and work that is genius. Here is an introduction from Neatorama, about two artists. The artist whose work I like a lot is Kim Rugg.
Two artists have been playing pretty games with the UK Royal [...]
Vancouver Store Front

I was walking to visit a friend on Monday, March 9, and I passed a store window for a store called Lou lou lux . The window display was arresting. I have no idea what was inside, but I loved the windows. Only one window is shown in the photo I took. The store is [...]
