More Things I Couldn't Have Made Up
As many of you no doubt know, last Monday was the annual "Talk Like a Pirate" day. In honor of the occasion, a new piece of computer peripheral hardware has been created to meet the needs of an appropriate market niche. See this entry from Matthew Baldwin's Defective Yeti site for a fine picture. (Thanks to Hans Andersen for pointing this out.)
Meanwhile, in the Piedmont region of far off Italy, the mother of all stuffed animals has been ... deployed? ... in a position intended to last for 20 years. Regardless of its longevity, this is the kind of art project I can really get behind. (Thanks to Nadja Haldimann for making me aware of this.)
