Lost Tribe

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008


(photo: AP)

Though technically they aren’t “lost” - they know exactly where they are - this population near the Peruvian/Brazilian border has had no known contact with the “outside world” until last month. Recent aerial photos taken in May 2008 offer the first proof of their existence and provide some clues to their way of life.

Some new facts about this recently discovered tribe:
• They don’t like airplanes.
• They aren’t very good at hitting airplanes with spears or arrows.
• They aren’t interested in maintaining front or back lawns.
• They believe that orange bodypaint is “the new black.”

Phoenix Lander Photos

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

So far, most of the photos sent by the Phoenix Lander (on Mars) are black and white (or bad false-color images). So . . . here are some good false color images from the Phoenix Lander, colorized and processed by me at Timbotron Heavy Industries Imaging Laboratories:


The barren circumpolar plains - the landing site of the Phoenix Lander.


A vertical cross-section of the horizon and terrain around the lander; a solar panel of the lander fully deployed.


An image of the Phoenix Lander sailing downward through Mars’s atmosphere (you can see the parachute), photo taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; an image of the Lander’s footpad in Martian soil.

Bonus Round: Cool animation of the Phoenix Lander’s descent.

Bento P•rn

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Speaking of porn and wallpaper:

Feast your eyes on the high art of the bento (Japanese lunchbox) - the Flickr ‘Bento Porn’ Pool (yes, this is SFW).

These make lively laptop wallpapers.

Man, my lunches are boring.

A Yearbook Photo is Worth a Thousand Million Words

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

And those words are:
• Jerry Springer
• “Actually, this is our second child.”
• “Will the real Slim Shady please sit down?!”
• “We cut Sex-Ed class.”
• Future congressman of Arkansas.
• “We got a ‘3-for-the-price-of-2′ special on these photos.”
• 30-year-old grandma.
• “I look just like Demí.”
• “Let’s bring the baby to prom!”

Photo of the Week: Statue Pickpocket

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

I’ve always hated clever statues of people in their native habitats.
I took this in New York City last month - a good shot of me picking its pocket.

Vulgar Note: Someone had taken a crap in the open bronze suitcase. Apparently other people hate this kind of art also.

As the author says, “Not sure who designed this, but I’m pretty confident they didn’t mean to make it look as if Jesus was showing his manhood to two children!”
