i would just like to share that thanks to one of the nano boston twitters (there are two), my nanonovel now has a were-hedgehog in it. he makes a brief and cranky appearance.

on this date in 1922, howard carter and his crew discovered the first step that would take them to king tut's tomb. (when carter and carnavon finally hit the door to the tomb, carter dug a little hole in the door and held a candle to it so he could see what was inside. carnarvon asked if he could see anything and he said yes, he saw "wonderful things". no kidding.) so who wants to see this really interesting looking exhibit in new york with me? :D

mmm, knitted food. the candy bar looks so soft and fuzzy.

and speaking of food - pizzaception!

in search of the pan-galactic gargle blaster - a meditation on geek bars, geek drinks, and douglas adams' most famous fictional cocktail.

a guy who liked to cross-dress (well, below the waist - stockings and heels) was jumped and beaten nearly to death, and to help himself cope with the trauma, he started building a miniature ww2 town. the impetus is horrifying, but the result is immensely cool.

spaaaace! this looks like a hole opened up in the universe and showed a different universe on the other side.

driest place on earth gets rain and turns pink - the atacama desert, in chile, got slightly less than an inch of rain and all these pink flowers bloomed EVERYWHERE.

rube slowberg, the world's slowest rube goldberg machine. it includes a turtle. also, grass growing. it takes weeks to push a ball through the whole thing.

shrimp neck pillow. from japan, unsurprisingly.

clyde is that you?, knittery, japan, food, historical record, nanowrimo, tiny things, cool shit, rube goldberg machine, outer space, geekery
