I LOVE this little guy. Remember the giant baby in Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi)? This is Boh when he's been transformed into a rat. I don't think he ever knits in the film, but I love to knit and when I found this at an anime shop in Ohio many years ago, I had to buy it. He's traveled with me ever since, inhabiting every dormroom I've lived in and my current apartment.
One of a series of pencil drawings on canvas, reworked digitally, which create volume and form from line and light/shade variations. The more complex pieces are also cubist in inspiration - in particular the late cubism of Lionel Feininger and in this case the piece was was also inspired by Fernand Khnopff's (1858-1921): The Caresses (The Sphinx), 1896. Royal Museums of Fine Arts, Brussels.
Fernand Khnopff was a painter of symbols and allegories and one of his most taxing allegories is The Caresses, or The Sphinx (1896), a revision of the story of Oedipus and the Sphinx. www.artunframed.com/images/artmis18/khnopff66.jpg
"The sphinx was a hybrid monster, part human, part lion, sometimes shown with eagle wings and a serpent's tail also, who blocked the mountain path to the city of Thebes and posed riddles to all who would pass. If the traveler was not able to answer, he or she was torn to pieces. In 1808 the French artist J.A.D. Ingres painted a confrontation between Oedipus and the Sphinx which follows the Greek story quite literally."
[Khnopff's version of the subject] "depicts Oedipus as androgynous and perhaps even as a magician. Khnopff was never as misogynistic as Moreau, however. The moment shown in Khnopff's painting does not appear in any literary or pictorial source. Oedipus seems to have answered the riddle, but instead of destroying herself, the sphinx cuddles up to him and caresses him with a rather satisfied expression. This is probably because Oedipus is still trapped by fate, despite his success with the riddle. In the unfolding tragedy, he will be granted the kingship of Thebes, and will marry the queen, who is (unbeknownst to him) his mother. Knowledge does not free humans from fate. Oedipus will blind himself as punishment for having looked upon his mother's nakedness, and this blindness will also signify his lack of true vision."

The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

This photo was so fun to shoot, even though it killed my eyes. I was shooting directly at a bulb when it was lit. Also, it was not taken in a dark room. I turned my ISO WAY up to get this photo.
I chose this for form because one can really see the 3-D aspect of the bulb. Even though it is the source of light, there are shadows on the edges and the bottom. The bulb itself is a little dusty, and I really liked that because it looked natural. I took several shots of this object, but this was the first one and I liked it the most. In photoshop, I adjusted the color a little bit to make the bulb a little darker and sharpened it around the edges.
The initial phase of landscape associated with the UCD Charles Institute and the Systems Biology Ireland Building includes a new bronze sculptural piece titled “Rotating Form” by artist Mark Ryan. Mark has been working full-time as a sculptor for the last 10 years, following a career as a designer. He works in a variety of materials including wood, clay, plaster, steel, stainless steel and bronze. He welds, cuts, casts and shapes. The scale of his work varies from small scale intimate works to very large scale sculptures in public spaces.

This lichen prouces soredia, small roughly spherical units made up of fungal hyphae and algal cells that are capable of reproducing the lichen assexually. In this case, the soredia are produced in localized regions of the thallus, rather confusingly called soralia (sing. soralium). The soralia are the more or less circular raised patches with a mealy texture seen in this image

The stream flowing from Bedworth Slough forms a brook which flows south, under Newtown Road, between the housing to Rectory Drive and then continues beside Silk Weavers Way to cross beneath the A444. It runs parallel to Bowling Green Lane, crossing School Lane to feed the moat of Tudor Court, beneath the M6 and thence across the fields behind St Giles Church. Here it is joined by the Breach Brook. It passes back under the A444 to Sowe Meadows Nature Park, under Rowley's Green Lane, the railway line and finally Grindle Road, where it is just visible as it is culverted beneath the housing and adjacent Coventry canal, thence across Longford Community Nature Reserve to the Longford Road. From here it emerges into the green oasis of Longford Park to exit not far from Alderman's Green Road.
The River Sowe is a river in Warwickshire and West Midlands. It is a tributary of the River Avon, and flows into it just south of Stoneleigh about 5 miles (8 km) south of Coventry. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long.
The Sowe rises in Bedworth 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north of Coventry. Its route takes it through Exhall near to Junction 3 of the M6 motorway and the A444 road, to the northern and then the eastern suburbs of Coventry, in particular the districts of Longford, Wood End, Walsgrave, Binley, Willenhall and near the village of Baginton. Near Baginton the river has a large steep bank on its southern side and the remains of the Roman Lunt Fort have been found at the top of this bank.
There is an established local park called the Sowe Valley Footpath that runs alongside the river for 8½ miles from Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area to Stonebridge Meadows Local Nature. It also runs through Wyken Slough Local Nature Reserve, Wyken Croft Nature Park and Stoke Floods Local Nature Reserve.

Forms of Nature #7: Hummingbird
digital collage
by Kenneth Rougeau
The seventh image in the new "Forms of Nature" series of digital collages I'm currently creating using the fantastic illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, this one created from a single hummingbird. Prints are available in my Etsy store (artfamilia). At present, I'm planning several individual pieces and one large scale triptych for the series. More to come soon!

Both MC-130J's lined up and ready to depart while a 100th ARW (ignore the markings, it hasn't been recoded yet) tanker waits.
When I started knitting seriously, I discovered that my grandmother, Irene, had owned a darning egg. My mother and her sisters grew up on a farm, and Mom vividly recalled her mother sitting in the evenings on the farmhouse, diligently darning socks using the wooden darner.
My aunt Kathy apparently was given the darning egg when my grandmother died in 1989, and used it in her country-eque decorated homes all over the world. So for a year I patiently hinted and pondered and "mentioned" to my aunts how much I’d like to have Grandma’s darning egg someday. Imagine my surprise when yesterday, an unknown package arrived in the mail for me. It was the darning egg from Aunt Kathy! She had decided to surprise me, instead of tormenting me with the idea of getting it one day if I was nice to her (we are all about blackmail on mom's side of the family).
This darning “egg” is actually not egg-shaped at all. It is, in fact, a foot-form wooden darner, a design that was patented in Nov. 1907 and was commonly used in the early to mid-20th century. It has the words “FOOT-FORM” stamped across its top, and you can clearly see how much it was used by the tiny scrapes in the wood. I’m glad to see that these antique foot form “eggs” are often found on eBay for rather affordable prices, so that anyone, if they like, can own a little piece of history.
Grandma married my grandfather, Pap-Pap, in 1945, and they left the farm life and moved to the “city” in 1957, when my mother, the middle child, was 9. They bought their first house for $3,000 and were thrilled to have indoor plumbing. I’m sure that my grandmother used this darner for many more years of her life, however. I'll treasure it always.

Bain Total (1987)
Regular edition, but kind of unique! The white colored tapes, Die Form tape stickers and Bain Total case stickers were only used for the very first BT tape releases starting around 1979. After that, Fichot started to use black and clear tapes with the K stickers on them, and then switched to Sony and Maxell tapes near the end.
My guess is that he may have come across some old stock of white tapes and stickers and decided to use them up????
