I’m sure that punk queen Patti Smith knew the name of UK artist Banksy but her introduction as Person of the Year at the Webby’s was funny here. Even better is Banksy art re-done in Lego, a.k.a. Bricksy here.

A stunning piece of house art from Connecticut here. More details here.

I grew up watching Bruce Lee films, astonished by the speed and skill of the Master. Only Jet Li comes close in terms of speed and style. I found this clip of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with numchucks. Impressive.

fake… I’m so gullible to these internet virii.

Here is a smattering of images from the weekend. I really enjoyed myself although I only kayaked once due to rather inclement weather; however, I did take a few long day trips into the nooks and crannies around the Bay. I found great little areas, off the beaten path. The wildlife was great and there were many opportunities to take great images!

All but the macro images taken with an Olympus 60mm were taken with the Panasonic 100-300mm. The long telephoto is an effort to focus at the long end, but I am getting more proficient.

OMG!

Amazing footage of the rare goblin shark here. Check out how its jaw extends like an Alien when attacking.

It is a thing now, these bloated whales.

The office was abuzz today with the CBC news story about the bloated whale washed up in NewFoundland. Not to be outdone, The Atlantic has a brief history of exploding whales, with video here.

I am quite excited about getting a Quadcopter and GoPro for kayaking and other things this summer. Philip Bloom does a great review and commentary here. This is part 1 of 3. The videos at the bottom of the page are quite nice.

Maps plus time lapse! Hell yeah!

A time lapse showing the various borders of the various states and other entities in the past 1000 year here.

Today is rather overcast. I fixed the Tokina so that the aperture was wide open. I have not been able to replicate the blue spot.

Here is a Jehovah Witness video designed to teach deaf children not to masterbate. It is dubbed with a 50 cent track.
