Was so near to tick this off my bucket list. Unfortunately, due to high winds we had to cancel the flight.

1000 pieces. Grossly Incomplete. 1965.

26" x 20"
36x28 grid = 1008 pieces
Epic fail on this one! I noticed right off that the box didn't seem as full as it should be, but all pieces were in a ziplock bag, so maybe it was just my imagination.
Nope. With over 50 pieces missing just from the sky, I cancelled this project. A huge disappointment. I debated persevering to determine just how many pieces were missing, but it wouldn't be worth the wasted time.
Today my GP tried to remove my magnetic implant, but it proved difficult- it had migrated deep in my finger, and came apart as he tried to get a hold of it. Almost from the first incision before he got anywhere near it shards of the magnet started coming out, and it seems the main body of the magnet adhered to scar tissue. For now, and probably ever, it's staying inside.
Was actually trying to get a picture of the aperture blades then this happened. -.- but I think it turned out to be a pretty decent shot.

It was so windy up in Joshua Tree, we were unable to get the fire to stay lit after multiple attempts. After awhile we gave up and spent the morning huddled around the cold fire pit, drinking our coffee.
this is a simple case of premature ejaculation. I had this planned out while i was inside shopping for over priced fish and insanely over priced peppers. I liked her red slicker and funky old way farers, but in the end i just fired too soon. wah wah.
FAILE's installation, Les Ballets De Faile, was created for the Art Series performances on Friday, February 1, and Wednesday, May 29.

after 2 years i'm back at wieden+kennedy. freelancing in the studio this time. this impressive spectacle made of push pins is by the new class of 12.
Bought this at Ardingly South of England show June 6, 2013 (cost 30 quid) and by the end of the month the thing had exploded with a huge BANG! It had hardly been used - maybe four times - and once broken it became totally useless because the connectors were all pre-fixed from the start. This hose is now available in shops and garden centres - well, don't waste your money, it really is CRAP!!!! There is now another version called the XHOSE and you might want to watch the following video before investing in one:

After a day of climbing nothing feels better than cooling off this way!
This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.

i pushed buttons, but nothing let me reboot it. i wanted to try getting online. check out some 4chan.
I understand displaying an ad for NFLshop.com on a football blog. But, c'mon! Really? This is the best your algorithm can do? Show a Tony Romo jersey on a Pittsburgh Steelers blog?
Total fail.
(Oh, if you want to read the 10 things, scoot on over to Steelers Depot.)
Failed attempts to get nice photo for BLFS Themed Competition. Wrong timing, bad framing, too far, ugly positure, all sorts of disasters :)
Saw this off Regent St.
It's a "trial hole", but given it's all still level with the street, it's fair to say trial result = fail.
No, it's not the funniest of fails, but it made me laugh when I got the YouTube error one of FailBlog's video posts. Also posted to icanhascheezburger here.
