Do you love seeing funny license plates on cars as you’re driving down the road as much as I do? Well, after seeing a funny one while coming home from the office the other day, I got to surfing and collecting a few license plates pictures… and I might have gotten a little carried away!

April 6, 2011 By John P. 12 Comments

I wish I knew where this advertisement for a bike shop was. Or maybe it’s just some kind of outdoor shop? Either way, it’s awesome! “This one runs on fat and saves you money. This one runs on money and makes you fat.”

True, true.

Hooters Swimsuit Pageant Pictures!!!

March 1, 2011 By John P. 5 Comments

I have to admit, I’m a fan of chicken wings. I love em in all flavors… hot & spicy, BBQ, Asian, Mexican, you name it! And of course, at Hooters they’ve got hot waitresses that come in all the same flavors!

Once a year they also happen to put on a little something we like to call a “Swimsuit Pageant”, and more importantly some people show up to these little shindigs sporting cameras of immense proportions. Thus ensuring that the rest of us can see what goes on at the Hooter’s Swimsuit Pageant!

53 Pictures of Sexy Women Tattoos – Beautiful, or Trashy?

February 17, 2011 By John P. 22 Comments

Tattoos have really increased in popularity over the last decade or so. It seems like everyone has one, and also like everyone has an opinion about them!

Ignoring men altogether at the moment, lets talk about women tattoos. Hot? or Not?

Here’s a collection of beautiful and artistic tattoos on women. Each seems to have been tastefully executed and from an artistic perspective the imagery is nice. The question is, can you see the woman behind the tattoo? What does the tattoo say about each of these women. And more importantly, does it matter why the woman’s tattoo is there (for example, some of these tattoos memorialize loved ones lost)?

5 Impressive Flickr Visualizations

January 14, 2011 By Sonia 1 Comment

When Flickr first appeared on the Internet, it was simply a handy tool to store and view photos. In the capable hands of visualization designers, Flickr has become a nexus of information about how people see the world.

Features such as tagging, groups, friend networks, and timestamps enrich each image with social and temporal context. Here are five visualizations that use Flickr’s meta information to highlight the unseen patterns behind all of those beautiful pictures.

1. Tagged Color

Tagged color

If an image is tagged “summer,” what colors do you expect? What images come to mind with the word “magenta?” What colors are people compelled to photograph? Christian Giordano’s Tagged Color visualization explores these questions and more. By mapping the user-supplied color field data and the most popular correlating tags, this visualization shows fascinating trends in the obsession with color.

Photos and Video of the December 21, 2010 Lunar Eclipse

December 21, 2010 By John P. 4 Comments

Well folks, last night I reported that a lunar eclipse was going to occur a few hours ahead of time. Hopefully everyone in the North American area was able step outside and observe it for a while. I sat out there for hours and it was magnificent.

I took some photos of the event, though my camera is not really set up for this kind of work, so they aren’t great. But here is a little overview of what I saw. The individual pictures are later in this post.
