Eartha Kitt: the original Catwoman.

This is a very strange song & performance, by Eartha in 1962, and easy to see why she was cast for the role of Catwoman.

Create your own travel map!












I wish it was more detailed as I felt I could not select Mexico, having only visited Tijuana; plus I feel a little guilty having selected Turkey and Spain as I only saw Istanbul and Barcelona. I guess to 'balance' it out I did not select China, as Hong Kong has been my only experience (other than a stop-over in Taiwan).

Week in review, by hand...


I really like the appearance of the small thumbnails in the archive section. This was a very ambitious undertaking, and it appears they may have stopped, drawing the news?

"Fab Tree Hab's"!



"The "fab tree hab" is a fanciful orb of a home that is literally alive, with a frame of growing tree trunks grafted together, insulation made of clay and straw, and vines instead of vinyl siding. The heating, cooling, and plumbing would all mimic natural processes.

"The structure is a statement against cutting down timber," said Mitchell Joachim , the architect who designed the house, "composed of 100 percent living nutrients."

The ultimate soccer shoe?


I'm not totally sure what this is about -- I assume it is an art exhibit--but what a great concept. This concept has 'legs', or should I say...a shoe in for other fields!? Great soul, with a big kick? A shoe for team players?
