Beginner’s Bible Coloring Book! on Flickr

My old friend posted this to Flickr account recently. Damn, that guy has talent. I can’t wait to see the page on how Noah kept the dinoasurs from eating all the other critters on the ark. Pure joy!

Dad, did dinosaurs really exist?
Sure they did, son. The Bible says so. They didn’t call them "dinosaurs" back then, but instead they were known as "leviathans" or "behemoths".
 But, my science teacher says dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Is that true?
Of course not, son.

Gundam Invades Taiwan Lantern Festival

This is pretty amazing, I one day hope to see full sized mecha rolling down the street at the Rose Bowl parade or at east floating in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

As part of a celebration for the Lantern Festival, a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year, the Taiwanese district of Jiayi put up a 1:1 scale model of the original Gundam in lantern form. Traditionally, an animal lantern is used as the central display, but this year a competition was run and as you can see, the RX-78 Gundam lantern won out. Not that the citizens had any choice in the matter: paper sheets have never looked so formidable.

From Lonelocust I saw this link to a Chinese page where you can get construction pictures. Just click on the links and the photos will open.

I have a favor to ask of all the visitors to my site. I’ve been asked to show some of my pinhole photographs at a local gallery in a few months and I just can’t decide what photos to have framed and hang in the gallery. What I’d like for you to do is to have a look at the set and either send me an email or make a comment in Flickr and tell me just what ones should make the cut. I’ll post the results in a month or so so everyone has a bit of time. Thanks!

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show (Episode 1)

Now, having seen more Japanese TV than the average American I can tell you that this is just about what normal daytime programming is like in Japan. Just kidding, but this is an amusing and well crafted parody. ‘Talk to the hotdog, he can read your mind’. HA! If anyone ever needed a definition of the word ‘engrish’ this would be it.
As the video discription states:

One part Pee Wee’s Playhouse, one part crazy, unpredictable Japanese talk show, and one part whole milk. Mix and serve chilled. Written by Kim Evey and directed by Greg Benson. .. May not be suitable for children. Or adults.

I hope there are more episodes coming up soon, this is the most entertainment I’m had in weeks! The clip is produced by  Mediocre Films out of LA and looks to be something that I’m going ot have to keep looking out for.

Time-Synchronous Photography

zb1 This grabbed my eye today.

Camera-object designed for time-syncronized double exposures of opposing settings (180°) on one film. 2x agfa box (widely modified), wire, glass, plasic, velvet, double cable release, roll-film (modified/ without halation protection)

Looks like a nice camera mod.
