Found this on Flickr -- I like the simplicity of it.

Noticed this sign posting over on Boing Boing, and thought it went well with the theme in recent posts here about signs.

Via Boing Boing, "Bizarre self-referential warning sign":

This is one of the most bizarre signs I have ever encountered ... IT'S A SIGN ABOUT THE SIGN ITSELF ... The logic behind the existence of this self-referential sign escapes me! What is it for? Why is it there? Did whoever put it up realize that if there were no sign, there would be no need to warn about it? Is this a joke from the developers? Is it a lesson in recursiveness? Is it a philosophical prop?

Start 2006 off like never before:


Start 2006 off like never before:
(Re-interpretation fun for the new year.)

While riding the subway:

1. Crouch precariously close to the edge of the platform.
2. Point your eye-lasers at the 2" space next to the train. Be sure to stand directly in front of the doors while doing this.
3. Concentrate. Try to ignore the huge, yellow beam of light shining directly on your head.
4. With your eye-lasers, create a single red bubble.
5. Board the train. Act as if eye-lasers and large red bubbles are perfectly normal.

Found this picture on Flickr -- looks a lot like the "100 drawings" exercise.

This is a photo of my sketchbook showing what's in my bag. I was fiddling with the sketchbook when I thought: whoa, there's a LOT of tech in that bag. Oh, and Pez.
