A beautiful art project that printed the text of Frankenstein with characters and fonts culled from random PDFs found on the web. At the start of the book the most common characters are used, and as the book progresses less common characters are used more often so that by the end of the book entire words are composed of different fonts or even symbols for each letter.

An artist in Buffalo scanned in some illustrations from an old AM&A’s catalog, printed them in large-scale, and wheat-pasted them to the outside of the old AM&A’s building.

Saddened by the news of “Doctor Who: Worlds in Time” eminent closure, and inspired by Gill recently learning to knit, I tracked down this pattern by the talented artist and all-around great person Tilinka. When I get more strength back in my left arm I’ll have to give this a try. (tags: 2012-02-05doctor whothree ringsknittingtardisscarf )
Add green food dye to melted white chocolate, dip in pretzels and oreos, assemble into frog, add candy eyes and tongue. Looks like a great activity/snack for a teenager party. (tags: 2014-02-05via facebookcookiesoreosfrogs )
A rockslide dislodged a couple of giant boulders that smashed through an Italian farm, destroying the barn and nearly flattening the house. Seriously, these are huge rocks. (tags: 2014-02-05via boingboingitalyrockslideboulders )
