Natural Flame Thrower

Posted by Bone at November 30th, 2007

I saw this a couple of days ago on BBC2, I actually forget what the show was really about, but it was called ‘Earth: The Power of the Planet’.

Good Day, Bad Day

wrc sardegna 2007 focus on stage, originally uploaded by eugenio491.

Good Day: Going to pick up our new industrial power-washer (very needed…) today and taking the coastal road to Barrow and getting a great view of Morecambe Bay.

Good Day: Getting a free remote control car with the power washer. The car looks like the one in the picture (thus justifying such an exciting action photo atop this post). It even came with batteries! So much fun!

Bad Day: Picking up the fixed spindle moulder from Staveley and then having it fall over in the van despite strapping it in pretty tight. That doesn’t sound very dramatic, but you should consider that the spindle moulder weighs a fair few hundred kilos, so it made a hell of a bang and shunted the van forward a bit when I had to brake heavily after someone decided to turn without signalling… I don’t think there’s any damage done though, to the van or the moulder, but its gonna be a hag to get out tomorrow.

This is an odd thing to post, but it shocked me, the Pencil Museum in Keswick just got name-checked in the intros on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Xmas Fun Postcard

Posted by Bone at November 28th, 2007



Xmas Fun Postcard, originally uploaded by Jon_Burgerman.

Just thought I’d share this Christmas postcard designed by Jon Burgerman (a member of a secret social network that I’m a part of and you aren’t) since it seems to officially be the festive season now, sadly. This means I’ve broken my own ‘its not christmas until december rule’, but it is a pretty fun illustration.

Click through on the picture to find out how you can buy the postcard and give some money to charity at the same time.

The application has been sent

Posted by Bone at November 27th, 2007

Even though I’m pretty sure they’ll pick someone else, y’know, someone that can actually speak their language, but its still a bit exciting. I can’t decide if I’m more excited about potentially working in a company whose work I’ve admired since early on in the HYA odyssey or potentially living in Berlin. Meh, they’re both pretty cool!

If Thom Yorke was a Mimobot…

This is one of the entrants to the Mimoco x Hide Your Arms illustration competition. Its by Ric. I don’t think there’s any cronyism involved thinking that this is a great illustration. The judges haven’t entirely made up their minds but I think this will probably be a winner.
