Acceptable losses

The above piece entitled “Acceptable losses” is the amazing miniature work of Thomas Doyle. He creates beautiful little worlds sculpted in 1:43 scale and smaller. From the statement on his site:

The pieces’ radically reduced scales evoke feelings of omnipotence—as well as the visceral sensation of unbidden memory recall. Hovering above the glass, the viewer approaches these worlds as an all-seeing eye, looking down upon landscapes that dwarf and threaten the figures within.

Conversely, the private intensity of moments rendered in such a small scale draws the viewer in, allowing for the intimacy one might feel peering into a museum display case or dollhouse. Though surrounded by chaos, hazard, and longing, the figures’ faces betray little emotion, inviting viewers to lose themselves in these crucibles—and in the jumble of feelings and memories they elicit.

The glass itself contains and compresses the world within it, seeming to suspend time itself—with all its accompanying anguish, fear, and bliss. By sealing the works in this fashion, I hope to distill the debris of human experience down to single, fragile moments. Like blackboxes bobbing in the flotsam, these works wait for discovery, each an indelible record of human memory.

Clearly not all airlines are created equal. Flying Continental Airlines is something else. Sitting up straight in my seat with my knees jammed into the seat in front of me is absolutely no fun. I guess once you fly jetBlue or Virgin American, the others just don’t stack up!

Ze Frank strikes again with a funny new app! You don’t even have to visit the app store to get it!

Jonathan Feinberg is the mastermind behind Wordle.net – a fun way to weave word clouds. The cloud creation is quite simple. You can either add words via an online editor or you can add an RSS feed to automatically generate a word cloud. Just like any word cloud, prominance is given to the frequency the word appears.

The fun part is tweaking the clouds. At your disposal are different fonts as well as a myriad of layouts and color schemes. The final images can be printed out and placed in a frame.  Bam! instant artwork for typographically challenged.  The clouds can also be saved to a public gallery so others can enjoy your handwork.

When it comes to the characters voices,
YES, THE SIMPSONS ARE BETTER!

The most annoying thing about watching South park is the similar two sounding voices used for every character.
