It was just a matter of time until, youknow, a monkey post. Our simian cousins are fascinating, unless they are stealing your sunglasses or throwing dung at you.
This is made of Legos, and of course, there is a group AND a pool devoted to Lego users on Flickr.MAKE magazine has a Lego category.Legos' robotics stuff looks interesting. Has anybody tinkered with them yet?I have my answer, hmmm,from an Authority with a very interesting site. Lemme get back to you on this, ok? "Live stem", indeed.

Yousee, it is all "live stem" or "dead stem" here at the Shebeen, where,to borrow a phrase from Shep: "In God we trust, all others pay cash".

How pathetic, I'm taking snaps of flowers to just get my Jones on Flickr. I buff my descriptions, hone tags, hunt down comments. Great fun.
It started out as a training exercise for me for the "20 things" campaign. Like Miles said-

Bebop was about change, about evolution. It wasn't about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.

God I wish I could paint. Isn't this photo of a couple aces and the dog evocative? I enjoy this genre of photograph, particularly the British ones. RAF and, in this photo, RAAF personnel were a little more eccentric in dress than their American counterparts (especially when they are out in the boonies like these guys: they are in Borneo: quick, find Borneo on a map), and, in this case, cooler aircraft. That's a Mk. IX Spit they are leaning against; meant to be a stopgap Mark, it was a potent aircraft,and I believe the most produced version. And of course, there is the general look of elegant lethality in Spitfires of any mark.
