Acrobatic Rabbits

If anyone is looking for a gift for me, I've got just the thing. It's a sterling silver inkwell by Tiffany with acrobatic rabbits on it.

Look a Little Closer


Old and new technology clash to make this photo: A Nokia N9 used to peer down an early 20th century microscope to the text on a slide.

Endangered Alphabets

The Endangered Alphabets Project is a really interesting project where one artist is working to bring attention to the fact that not only are there are only 100 written alphabets for the over 6000 spoken languages that exist today, but that as many as half of these spoken languages will be extinct by the end of this century.

His painstaking work to carve these written languages into wood is a testament to their artistry and beauty.
