Check out the neoCube puzzle, thingy.

Encore performance of an older animation post for JDH

This is a very cool animation with a great music track and story. I posted this about one year old. It is a big file so it is best to let it load and then hit play and turn the volume up.

Here's a picture of our new dog! We rescued her from the shelter as nobody was adopting her as she is 9 years old and has inoperable damage to her knee and hip dysplasia. All we can do is give her a happy life and give her glucosamine. She was moving around quite well until a few days ago, when she spotted a duck--who must have been injured too as the duck basically ran across the grass having difficulty getting airborne. Now, Blackie (her original name from her previous owners) is hobbling around, but still wagging her tail.

The amazing art of Jorg Block.

"The international kilogram conundrum...."




"In the 120 years since several dozen cylinders were crafted in France to serve as the world's standards of the kilogram, their weights have been mysteriously fluctuating. The result is a race to redefine the measure."

Hmmmm. Ok, I know i would never buy one of these, other than if it was for my better half... but what a cool purse (he says, sheepishly...).
