Ann Coulter via Non Sequitur



Do you think Ann Coulter would be smart if she figured out that the reason her dumb-ass-mouth can spout such shit without getting a hard slap across the lips is because of progress made by liberal thinking people? Or would she still be a dumb-ass?

And is Ann Coulter an anorexic?

Big Hole



I just found about this via reddit.com. It's a big hole in Russia -- a diamond mine apparently, in Eastern Siberia, near the town of Mirna. It's about half a kilometre deep and one and a quarter in diameter. It's interesting -- in a horrifying kinda way.

The Universe in a Year

What if the entire 14 billion years of the universe's existence was compressed down to 1 year? Not surprisingly, everything we care about would only happen in a few minutes on the last day of this cosmic year.

Kama Sutra



For a book on human sexual behaviour written in the 4th century, the Kama Sutra, or Kamasutram, continues to demonstrate remarkable staying power. It's a testament to the our continued fascination with just about everything sexual. We are sexual beings -- and our purpose is to procreate.

The illustrations that made up the Kama Sutra has gone 3D -- as in sculpture. Check out the 360-degree animation of the sculptures from the book, from the Museum of Modern Art in France. The skill of the artist is simply amazing.

My Father's Day Present


My daughters took me for a walk on Sunday, for Father's Day. I have to say that I was a bit more brave than them, walking through the jungle that is a local park. I had fun taking pictures, although the camera running out of battery was a little frustrating.

First Bike Ride

On Monday I went on my first bike ride of 2006. Spring was in the air, and so was the pollen. I suffer from seasonal allergies, so it was a blast that night -- still is -- emanating from deep within my nasal passage, and exploding out with a force that would have blown my head clear off my body if it wasn't twisted on securely.

Port Perry


Port Perry is about an hour away from Toronto. It's a little town on Lake Scugog, that my wife and I like to visit every now and again -- me, for the "afternoon tea" and my wife for the small shops. (She enjoys the "afternoon tea" as well.) The photo above is a panoramic that was stitched together from five originals. You will notice the trunk of the white car that disappears in the middle of the image ... that's the problem with trying to make panoramics from a scene that's changing. Below you'll find another panoramic from five photos I snapped while on a hill on highway 7. I've always wanted to capture a landscape like that, but since I don't have wide angle lenses, stitching had to be relied on.

Mica



A couple of weekends ago, my family went over to dinner's at a friends. They have a dog. I took some pictures. Most of the photography that night was crap. I didn't use the flash, so the camera was taking its time, and most of shots ended up being blurred. This one, one of only a few, wasn't blurred. It happens to be some of the first shots I've taken of a dog. You can find the rest at Webshots with my cat photos.

National Geographic Camels

Take a look at this National Geographic photograph of camels. (Click the thumbnail to enlarge.) Now look at it again. Do you see? It's an aerial photograph. You're looking down on the camels. If you look closely, you can see their tan bodies. The black camel shapes aren't the camels -- it's their shadows.

How cool is that?
