so-- weirdstuff is a warehouse that sells computer remements and "doodads". It's on matilda in sunnyvale, about a halfblock from yahoo. it says something about my yahoo life that I never found time to come by and explore when I worked there....

damn it is cheap, tho. I think you could build a startup for a grand with parts there. or as scott said, "cheap enough you could use it for art"

Fun tech history: This old, massive Motorola mobile phone sits atop a cabinet in my office.

Whenever we travel we look for unusual stuff. We also like street art and popping into art galleries and interesting stores. This album is mix of all that from a trip we took to Barcelona, Spain, in January 2025. What a beautufil city - I would go back there again!

Fortress Hill Station, Hong Kong Island.

The only modification I did to this was resizing!

-- Taken at night outside (obviously).

Not that good a stitch as last time; this time I didn't have time to do manual adjustments. That and it was a rather overcast day. I'll re-post this one later if I do eventually get to fix it up a little.

As usual, probably better to click on All Sizes, etc etc etc.

There were actually four of these little toothpick holder guys but I gave the rest away. He lives in my car. The toothpicks are not anything I'd want to put in my mouth - they are splintery!

Tiny Albert looks at the feast that beholds him. Mmmm, chocolate coated vanilla ice creams.

OK, so it's a fire exit sign, but even then, it was placed above the airbridge going to the plane I was boarding.

Tiny Albert (right) and new cub (see www.ibiblio.org/ahkitj/diaries/tph/archives/000417.html for naming contest details!) examine the nutritional information of the ice creams they've been eating. Hmmm.

I wonder why the male icon in the same ferry terminal had the man's head depicted smoking a pipe. Odd.

At least this thing claims to use real Ovaltine drink powder, Tiny Albert surmises.

for $120, you could take jesus home.

Spotted at HKG departures hall entrance; at first I thought the representation of flames were really knives. Oops. :(

Hard to believe these photos lingered that long. I was somewhat happy that we got to go to Disneyland two hours before closing, mercifully, although we were mostly required to stay at California Adventure.

What the heck, Tiny Albert mutters.

Off The Wall Antiques. ... Weird Stuff

7325 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90046

World best collection of off the wall decore, great stuff, I love this place. Next to "The Groundling's Theatre". Best junk shop in LA.

A man goes for a walk in the country and happens upon a mobile phone base station. The station buzzes with energy and information and within a short while he has been 'zapped' by the information and can read peoples text messages, hear peoples phone conversations and traverse the flow of information itself..

The birth of an entity no one ever thought could exist but all the while was laying dorment, waiting for its chance/The displacement of knowledge and power and human nature's reaction to such...

This is a video clip. You can watch it on Vimeo:

This table is meant to be an Arts & Crafts table. I added a light table into the top and there will be drawers for supplys.

Materials:

Leftover douglas fir, Wheels are reclaimed from Weirdstuff

The hot chocolate arrives into Tiny Albert's hot little paws (and waiting snout).

Or are they encouraging me to smoke (a pipe?) in the toilets? Hmmm.

ouch.

Since I had the day off, I played backyard tourist at Gilgal Garden in SLC. The area is a pseudo-park behind the Hostess factory. The air smells of bread.

From the literature obtained at the park:

"The garden contains 12 original sculptural arrangements and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems and philosophical texts."

In a phrase, it's damn weird.
