Eyewitness - the huntsman of the spider

Talk about wire pollution. These photos are of communications and power cables in Thailand. Not sure where the title came from. The above link is to a babelfish.com translation of the original Russian page. The translated text is more than a little convoluted at the very least. The pix are also posted below and are linked to fullsized images.

Tinselman: Grandpop’s Shop—Part 2

Cool pix of the old shop.  The drill press shown in the last two pix looks like an older version of mine.  Good stuff!

Yellow Jacket sting photos of me

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Kept meaning to get these up but since time flies like a banana, I just got around to it.  Gonna put them after the fold so only those really wanting to get grossed out will see them.  ;-)

And YES it hurt as much as it looks like it would.  These pix were taken the evening of Thursday August 10, 2006 no matter what the camera time stamp says.

Automotive addictions and general tomfoolery: Accessory turn signals of the 20’s and 30’s

Some of theses I have seen. Some only heard of and others are new/real old. Love the skull!

Skull stop signal

Update: Just sitting here and noticed that this is (on my monitor anyway) larger than life.    Looks from measuring a dime that the one in the picture measures 3/4 inch and a real dime is 11/16 so the skull is about 2 3/4 inches wide and maybe 4 inches tall.  The word “STOP” looks to have letters about a half of an inch high. Gonna notice that from a distance. Right…

Arrow Head

Found a nice one today. Was on top of the hill on the power line and saw it sitting on bare spot a few feet from the power pole. Here’s pix:

Dave Winer’s new header graphic at Scripting News is a howl!  It’s a picture he took at the “How Berkeley Can You Be parade” today.  Wonderful stuff! Note the tag on the left - GLASQLT, Glass Quilt maybe?  Would fit the car. ;-) Lots of other pictures of interesting stuff there too.  Thanks for sharing Dave!
