ok, there's no gag here,
ok, there's no gag here, i just find this awesomely cool:
the gayer-anderson cat (stop giggling) is a representation of the egyptian goddess bastet. you can't see it too well in this photo but she is wearing a really rocking silver wedjat amulet. 2600 years young, her style has always been remarkably ahead of her time. few people know this, but she has drilled the gold for her piercings out of the ground all by herself! she enjoys pouncing and sashimi.

known side effects
you know that warning label a lot of drugs have, "Do not operate heavy machinery while taking this medication"? I always thought it's a stupid warning and it's not like anybody in the fucking history of oh.

sea
a number of people have requested the post-storm sea level pictures (from january 9th). probably not that spectacular if this (kaivopuisto) isn't places you care about--have we seen worse recently or what--but here we go nonetheless:

when you sign up for a lecture on product development approaches you expect coffee in paper cups, cheap modernist spaces and verdana. not a crime scene from max payne.

help wanted: have you seen this picture
the above pic snuck into my phone (or lifeblog software) about one hour after i unpacked the box and started using it*. i don't recall taking it--sure, i jetpacked to pasila at around that time, but i didn't take aerial photos.
has anybody else seen this pic somewher? where does it come from?
how, in general, do these weird foreign objects get lodged in peoples' consumer electronics?
* i'm really liking the phone so far, god bless the little bastard, but getting it to work with my pc was really way, way too much of a hassle. there's a glimpse of the process documented at the ever-entertaining fish.

what's an astrolabe anyway?
another beautiful bizarro-ass item from the islam collection. i fucked around with it a bit. it would tell you stuff like when the world's gonna end and how.

visited tate modern last weekend. pretty much the coolest thing there was a room full of soviet propaganda posters--fantastic stuff. you weren't supposed to take pictures there and the attendants kept busting me for flipping out the ol' camphone so i don't have any of them documented. luckily i have this ad, from the london tube, that comes pretty fucking close.
