For all you Halloweenies out there, he’s a cool site on the nearby Danvers State Hospital, with links at the bottom to contributers ghost stories and images.

I posted photos from out epic trip up north to Big Sur last weekend. They are under the Flickr link on the sidebar. Watch out for the GIANT SPIDER! AHH.

yeah! nice good free paper folded toys at +++ from the kids at FWIS. Hot.

Also, this paper delorean rocks. I am going to make a full-scale one and tape it over my car. Maybe.

The svelte and fabulous Tim Devin dropped me a line today because his Boston Typewriter Orchestra has a shiny new web page where you can learn all about them and find their next gig. I wish Boston was adjacent to LA so I wouldnt miss the show this Friday. Keep an eye on them, they will be Typewriter rock stars soon enough.

So I am slowly learning how to hack Google Maps to make a new level of navigation for ArtInRuins… check it out. And for really accurate lat and long coordinates, take a look at MapBuilder.net.

Does everyone know about this, because if not, every artists should.

This is ridiculous. Absolutely unnecessary. Also, I didn’t know that 9mph was “green diesel technology“.

Great photos from the slums of a model train layout – built and shot by Peter Feigenbaum. It takes a lot of work to get a model to look that run down and realistic.

This collection of Ridiculous Sax Solos from the 80’s is fantastic. But, where are the Pink Floyd solos from A Momentary Lapse of Reason? Via TMN

A team from Stanford with a souped-up VW Toureg won the Darpa Grand Challenge Race.. that is their robot car drove 132 miles across the desert with no human pilot or controller. Its took just under 7 hours. Of course, since the contest is Military sponsored, now they own the technology and will likely use it to kill people. Oh well. Maximum Overdrive anyone?
