I finished this painting a few weeks back and I think I’m going to take better shots and/or scan it to make a nice little limited edition print. Comments are always welcome. What do you think?
I’ve actually done this before, but if you need some instructions follow the link below.

But that’s why dig this simple-and-stylish solution: Cool Feet. They’re easily attached (and removable) feet that ‘snap’ on to your laptop with suction cups.
They raise up your laptop to provide a cooling airflow without the use of noisy fans. Plus, they give your laptop a comfortable lift and slight angle, making your laptop screen and keyboard easier on the eyes and the fingers.
If you grab a set of Cool Feet from Bluelounge for $12.99, you’ll get a pair of short feet and a pair of tall feet, giving you three options for propping up your notebook.

Transsexual ‘L.A. Times’ Sportswriter Dead NPR - November 29, 2009 Los Angeles Times reporter Mike Penner, who publicly chronicled his gender transition and returned to the paper under the name Christine Daniels, died Friday evening at age 52. The cause of death has not been determined, but the newspaper reported that it was believed to be suicide.
With some grey paint, a hobby store motor and a whole lot of creativity, James Theophanecreated a unique work of art from a lousy flea market painting.
The girl and her bizarrely over sized dog apparently just won’t load (darn!). The bottom half of the painting gets all pixel-y and the dreaded Mac spinning beach ball of death rears it’s ugly head. And you thought you only had problems like these in the digital world!

The Light On! system which purports itself to be a combination of sleek design and rugged function, appears to deliver well in both areas. Because the lights are powered by the motion of the axle, they don’t require batteries and after riders stop moving for several minutes, dim to one-fifth of their brightness. The super bright LED lights offer 180 degree visibility are waterproof and are created to be permanently mounted on the bike.
The idea for the Light On! system was born out of creator Brian Engelen’s night riding and bike commuting through the winters in Portland, Oregon which exposed him to plenty of tough riding conditions. It was because of riding in these conditions that he got the idea to start building bike lights in order to better conquer those challenges. In the words of Engelen, “the goal was to create an expedition grade bike light system that looks as good as it functions,” and judging by the design and the specs of these lights it seems he has done just that.
Would you invest in a permanent light system like Light On!? Have any other favorite lights to recommend to your fellow bike commuters?

You’d expect something with the moniker “Heritage” to just look pretty retro and not do anything else, but Revo’s Heritage is packed with interesting features, making it an interesting add-on to your pad. The Heritage is a sleek, vintage-looking device that is made out of wood and aluminum. It supports, DAB, FM, and WiFi radio signals. There is also an OLED screen, which is why this dock is so expensive in our opinion. It acts as a display from where you music is being streamed from. Streaming can be wireless from any PC or Mac.
It’s got a USB port, so you can just plug in a USB drive and start playing your tunes off it. Although it’s a bit expensive, it does come with all of the bells and whistles, and that 1960s design flair sure makes it distinctive from all of the other docks. You also get 7W of power, which isn’t too shabby. It comes with a multi-country power adapter, a free 30-day Last.fm trial subscription, and is available for $382 via Revo

I started working on this piece a few months back and currently it is hanging at a local art show that I am having. I’m sure I have added more to the piece since this picture has been taken. Once I get the painting back from the show I’ll take updated shots.

“Winnie-the-Pooh is such a popular character in Poland that a Warsaw street is named after him, “Ulica Kubusia Puchatka.” There is also a street named after him in Budapest (Micimackó utca).” (via)
