Gypsy Bowtop Caravans
Haven’t seen anything like this before – except perhaps in a production of Mother Courage. Coveting.
Yarn Bombing: The Knit Graffiti Movement
I haven’t posted a blog entry in a little while – and this article about knitted acts of graffiti just made me sing. Check out the photos on the website – the yarn bomb of the bull on Wall Street is particularly nice.

This interesting little piece points out the false quotation attributed to MLK that’s been circulating on the internet. Thanks to the very bright Megan McArdle (and via the equally savvy Bridgit Antoinette Evans).

“…in this moment we are perfect, we are whole, and we are beautiful…” / Ode to the Brain! by Symphony of Science
via youtube.com
From the website symphonyofscience.com
“The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell, designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. Here you can watch music videos, download songs, read lyrics and find links relating to the messages conveyed by the music. The project owes its existence in large measure to the classic PBS Series Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals.”
