Friday Ephemera

Meaty snails. // At last, the Monolith action figure. Impenetrable, mysterious, may cause other toys to evolve. // Missile silo homes. // Covering Whitney. // Crowd-sourced choir. // The iPhone accordion. // Synth cakes. // Foodstuff as flags. (h/t, Mr Eugenides) // Testing incandescence. // Skinput. // Secrets of the Batcave. // Photographs by David Fokos. // Made of tyres. // Made of books. // The era of the owl hat has sadly come and gone. // Some people can run much faster than others. // Big snow feet. // Dusty bee. // If Calvin took Ritalin.

The tyre sculptures are amazing. Love the Buddha.

"Covering Whitney"

The Taiwanese kid is fantastic (and a bit surreal). The little "ooh" around 3:25 floored me.

Yes, he’s rather good. A worthy successor to Dolly and Whitney. I think the real genius of it – besides the tux and pudding basin haircut – is that he manages to win you over despite singing one of the most annoying songs in recent memory.

Crowdsourcing Choir is simply amazing!

That first synth cake is a joker -- it's a real Chimera BC16. It just looks like a cake.
