I found this image online and thought to myself...pretty interesting way to present information. I know this tiny image is hard to see, so simply click on the image itself to go to the gallery page or follow this link.

The information presented is "The number of men in the United States who will die in 2008 as a result of ..." What really threw me was that 5 men are predicted to die from fireworks accidents.

This may be a silly estimate, but it's an even sillier way to go.

We all watch movies, everyone has seen them, few know the stories behind them; I'm talking about the movie studios logos.
I watch a lot of films, old or new makes no difference to me as long as the story is good and like most I may have noticed the logos but I've never paid attention to them.

Over at Neatorama there are loads of interesting posts but one that really caught my eye was called The Stories Behind Hollywood Studio Logos.

That Dreamworks logo, you know the one with the boy fishing on the moon; that boy's name is William. His story and more can be read in this brief history.

Digital Artist Michael Oswald has some amazing Digital Women Puppet Illustrations - Half Robot/Half Women.

Many are familiar with his "Carve Your Own Destiny" image, a look through his gallery pages and you'll spot even more that have been used in advertising.

What makes his pages worth visiting are the "Before and After" images and the "Step by Step" methods he uses to produce his illustrations. For anyone interested in digital art, this is a great learning tool.

Do you remember playing in the sand? Dragging your fingers through the sand and making little pictures or leaving your initials behind only to have a wave come along and wipe it all out.

Meet Jim Denevan a kid that never grew up.

Jim has been drawing in the sand for a long time and he's famous for it! Why, you are asking. Jim's drawings tend to be 30 miles or more longer and he does it with nothing but a stick. No measuring tools, just a stroll along a beach when the tide is out.

All those intricate patterns - washed away in a few minutes once the tide returns. Simply amazing!

You can find more images from his web site at: http://www.jimdenevan.com/images.htm

Fun Stuff

Anyone that knows me - knows that I like the word "stuff"!

My reasons for liking such a simple word are; stuff can mean anything and everything or absolutely nothing at all. This one versatile little word can be used in so many different ways and as I've learned over the years "Stuff" doesn't make for a very good label on disks.

Here's some stuff I found online that are pretty interesting.

One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Pictures tell a story ...or do they?
