Cuteness.

dryer cat,

Naughty me. It’s been 4 days since my last blog entry. Been away conferencing but I return avec gusto.

Have been evangelising about Flickr… It is truly addictive. At this conference I saw some really cool stuff on audiophotos, where people add audio – whether it be in soundseeing form or explanation form – to images. It then becomes a much more evocative artifact. Hoping Flickr will let people do this soon, if Yahoo have the foresight to think about it now it has bought Flickr.

My Cats in Odd Places group is doing well and it seems to cheer people up and put a smile on faces. It certainly puts one on mine every morning when I check the feed. Thirty-seven cats in very strange places there now. Check ‘em out.

Here is some real cuteness to start the week with.

Flickr Related Tag Browser

This is a fantastic use of Flickr’s API to create a flash tag browser. It neatly tiles all the Cat tagged pictures, for instance, then shows related tags around the main window – nice flash. Try it.

What a great job. This guy/gal – not the one pictured obviously – gets these blow up dolls ready to be extras for a film production company. I think he/she rather likes them. Via Boing Boing.

New Scientist Breaking News – Stink bomb gas puts mice into suspended animation

The Alien scenario where they sleep through their space travelling is getting closer folks. Not sure I would want to be sent into deep sleep with the smell of rotten eggs however.

Talking of sleep I had one of the worst sleeps last night. You know the ones where you know you must be asleep, yet you feel awake all night? Very sweaty too.

I love this photo. They are waiting, just waiting. What are they waiting for? Who knows. It is just what they do. Wait. They look slightly Egyptian.

I have only flicked through 5 photos in this person’s photostream and already it is a FREAKSHOW. Is that Alicia Duvall?

There is this guy. He paints pretty pictures on pieces of gum stuck to the pavement. Great idea but gross. Hope he wears gloves. These are taken by ponyintheair. The guy is in London – will look out for him. I gave up spitting my gum on the ground only recenly. I know – I am ashamed.

Lifeless faces – Nosy,
originally uploaded by .m.

OK – this is the last Flickr group I will post about today. There are just too many good ones for ma wee heed.

But the Lifeless Faces one is about finding faces in inanimate objects. I am always finding faces in things. Then I start smiling at the faces or feeling sorry for them when their noses are grabbed by filthy hands. It helps those stare trances one sometimes gets into.

Torch-lit toast,

See, this is why Flickr is endlessly interesting and rewarding. Here is another new group/set that celebrates toast and toasters. Bizarrely fascinating.

I’d even go have some toast if only we had any bread.

What an absolutely ace statue carving thing in a desert in Chile. Apparently it is a sculpture by Mario Irarrazabal called “Mano del Desierto,” 1992.

So Planet of the Apes-like. I think it would really confuse the aliens.
