Morning Linkage (Feb 4)

Trans­porta­tion

Lovely lit­tle bits of real art like water­color of a moped this are for sale in the park out­side Santo Domingo in Oax­aca. I buy them when I can.

Grav­ity bike. This is a sport?

Which leads to this Flickr set — Freak­Bikes. That’ll do.

Sci­ence

Under­wa­ter shots of Bel­uga whales at a sanc­tu­ary cre­ated by the Uni­ver­sity of St. Petersburg.

Cul­ture and Society

Dwell mag­a­zine is mod­ern, hip, and puz­zlingly stuffy. Adding cap­tions that could have come from equally mod­ernist nov­els. Sly, witty, smug.

Art, Design, Animation

Hugh D’Andrade makes wicked posters.

Includ­ing this fine image of a geeky girl mecha  for the 20th anniver­sary of the EFF.

Odd­i­ties cre­ated by col­lage. Vic­to­rian era ladies (and gents) spent hours cre­at­ing humor­ous images using paper, scis­sors, and paste. Chil­dren using frogs for rock­ing horses just about cov­ers it. More behind the “view more images” link.

Tommy and the Atom. The tale of two atoms, a boy, his fox, and an evil mad sci­en­tist bent on world dom­i­na­tion. Sweet old pro­pa­ganda film fea­tur­ing the voice that reminded you to “look both ways before crossing”.

Mak­ing it through the week m’dears.
