Apparently, I’m on a physics kick as of late.

WTF is this?
Big Bang Big Boom by Blu
Another awesome piece by Blu.
Blu in Lisbon, Portugal
Blu and Os Gémeos collaborated in Lisbon, Portugal for this awesome piece of art.
I’ve written about Blu before regarding this fantastic stop motion video done in Buenos Ares, Argentina.
The Communist Party
I love this Threadless shirt, called “The Communist Party“, created by Tom Burns. Though I’m a sucker for puns. It reminds me of the Bad Religion song “Atomic Garden” which has the following verse:
And I’m glad I’m not Gorbachev
’cause I’d wiggle all night
Like jelly in a pot
At leats he’s got a garden with a fertile plot
And a party that will never stop
It’s a big deal
Doggie Diner heads
Doggie Diner heads outside of Kal’s Warehouse for the Laughing Squid going away party.
Crazy car in the Haight
While walking through the neighborhood today, I noticed this crazy car at the corner of Page and Masonic. It looks like something I’d see at either Burning Man or Maker Faire.
Anyone know more about it?
Ecstasy in the Park
Went out shooting some photos today, for the first time in what feels like ages. This is one of my favorite photos that I’ve taken in a long time. The sculpture is Ecstasy by Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito and was installed at Patricia’s Green in Hayes Valley last week. It’s on display until June 18, 2010.
More information is available on the Black Rock Arts Foundation blog.
First displayed at the Burning Man festival in Nevada in 2008, Ecstasy is one of the eight monumental metal figures of the artists’ masterpiece, Crude Awakening. In Crude Awakening, these eight figures surrounded a 99-foot tall wooden oil derrick in gestures of prostration, worship and exaltation. Alone, Ecstasy embarks on a hopeful journey. Instead of throwing her head back in reverie to the oil derrick, she gazes wistfully into the open sky as she steps forward into an optimistic future, free of dependency on fossil fuel.
