When you give stickers to children...

This is what happens!

Japan Loves Lovecraft

Look, it's Nyarlathotep in his/her manga form...from the upcoming manga series based off of the famous Lovecraft story. Now...how to get my hands on this?

Another New York Moment

This one with a working video. A street performing band got a large majority of the Times Square subway station to sing the final chorus of "Hey Jude" together. Pretty wonderful and heart warming.

My Very Own QR Code

Ok, this may be kind of nerdy, but having my own QR code is really cool. If you have an android or iPhone, you should scan this and let me know if it works for you (for my Android phone I use an app called "Barcode Scanner", it works great.) The barcode should redirect you...here!

Ice Diving

This looks kind of terrifying. Isn't this how Houdini died? (Ok no, he died from trying to "absorb" some punches to the stomach. That didn't work out so well). But anyway, losing hold of the safety line that leads you back to the hole in the ice...sounds like no fun. It is gorgeous though. These photographs come from an ice diving trip to a lake in Kazakhstan famous for it's "underwater forest."

Cosmos

I just want to sit home and watch Cosmos all day. It was Sagan's birthday recently, and I realized then more than I ever have what a great loss it is that he isn't alive today. He was such a brilliant, wonderful man. Every photo I found of him when putting this post together showed him smiling and marveling at our universe. I imagine he was a deeply kind and intellectually piercing individual to interact with.
