Little Discoveries

I recently was introduced to the hauntingly perfect sculpture of Ron Mueck, and feel obligated to share.

From Fimoculous, the Google Vanity ring. First how many myspace friends, then Facebook, and now Google hits...have we really come to a place where we now are judging our self-worth via the frequency and ranking of anonymous- and virtual- interchanges? I wonder if this makes high school easier or harder.

This one is self-titled 'best Venn diagram ever'. I think I might just have to concur. {and for those lost, an explanation of Venn diagrams]

John Cusack interviews Naomi Klein. Unsettling perspective on our layers of contracted government.

Lastly- a few pix of my boy worshipping at the alter of Chuck E. Cheese today for his 3rd birthday. A full three hours of sugar, games, and more sugar- funny how the happiness quotient evolves.

These were with my old digital. In comparison to what the iphone does (see concert photos a few posts back), pretty much concluding it's time to retire the 5 year old Kodak. If anyone has recommendations on reasonably priced ones right now (i.e., Nikon and Olympus I know are best, but probably not gonna happen), I'd appreciate hearing them!
