Fantastic Bicycle Advertisement – This One Runs on Fat…

April 6, 2011 By 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!!!

Hooter's Swimsuit Pageant

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 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)?

Dancing Kick to the Nuts Fail Picture

Lets all just own up to the fact that we LOVE to laugh at other people’s embarrassment and pain, Ok? I mean it doesn’t explain why these Japanese guys volunteer to be hit in the balls on a gameshow, but it explains why we love to watch their pain!

And speaking of funny, painful Japanese game shows, there was never an equal to MXC Most Extreme Elimination! Oh God, it kills me. But when you watch those videos all you want is to see people wipe out!

5 Impressive Flickr Visualizations

January 14, 2011 By 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 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.

Get Ready for a Total Lunar Eclipse TONIGHT – December 21, 2010!

December 20, 2010 By 1 Comment

In about 3 hours, the last lunar eclipse of the decade is going to occur, and it’s going to be a good one!

According to the Griffith Observatory:

It is also the highest in the sky that a totally eclipsed Moon has appeared from Los Angeles in 1,591 years and it will not be this high again for at least another millennium.

NASA chimes in:

The entire event is visible from North America and western South America. Observers along South America’s east coast miss the late stages of the eclipse because they occur after moonset. Likewise much of Europe and Africa experience moonset while the eclipse is in progress. Only northern Scandinavians can catch the entire event from Europe. For observers in eastern Asia the Moon rises in eclipse. None of the eclipse is visible from south and east Africa, the Middle East or South Asia.

Photos From Virgin Airline’s DFW Launch Party with Richard Branson and Willie Nelson

December 9, 2010 By 4 Comments

Last week I headed on down to the Dallas Opera for the Virgin America party to commemorate the commencement of service from LAX to DFW airport. This marks Virgin’s arrival into the Dallas area, which is extremely signifigant because Dallas is the headquarters for two major airlines, American and Southwest, and DFW is also:

  • Fourth largest airport in the world by land area.
  • Third busiest as measured by aircraft movement.
  • Eighth busiest in terms of passenger transport.
  • So big it has its own post office, ZIP code, and public services.

And Virgin clearly understands the signifigance of reaching into the DFW metroplex with its 6.5 million plus residents. So much so that Sir Richard Branson himself was present for the opening, and he brought along a surprise guest to entertain the attendees – Willie Nelson!
