All the President’s Rugs

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Talking about the important decisions of the president in a blog often requires some sort of political position. I try to stay rather apolitical on this blog. As a result, this post is about the useless silly and trivial decoration of the oval office.

Back to basics

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

I would just like to point out that this toaster and egg poacher is made by “back to basics.”

I’m still holding out for one that will clean my teeth while it poaches the egg and toasts the english muffin.

Triumphal Arch of Septimius Severus

Monday, March 6th, 2006

Here is a picture of one of the Triumphal Arch of Septimius Severus. This arch is in present-day Libya near the city of Tripoli. At the time this arch was built this area was the city of Leptis Magna in the ancient republic of Carthage. This arch was built in here because the roman emperor […]

Griddle Cooler

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

Here is a cool new gadget that is something like a cold plate (they call it by the notable sexier title of “anti-griddle”).
I think this is cool enough to put on the blog just because I haven’t heard of something like this before. However, I’m not really sure what this would be used for and […]

Dog Pillows

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

If you have ever dreamed of teaching your pillows to sit, stay, or rollover this site may help you get one step closer to your dream. They sell five specific somewhat dog-shaped pillows with the image of a dog printed on them.
My favorite picture is the one with the actual dog among the pillows (number […]

Lego Rebel Attack Cruiser

Monday, February 20th, 2006

This doesn’t have much to do with my site. However, I thought it was so crazy I had to put it up here. This is an 8ft Lego model of the star wars rebel attack cruiser. Yep, 8ft.
For added fun it appears that someone paid $31,602.00 for it. Here is a link to the ebay […]

Wall Decal

While wallpaper may have its advantages wall decals are the nice simple addition that you can sprinkle on your walls like confetti. They might also match the bullet hole decals on your car.

These are made by Bilk.

The Colossus of Rhodes

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

While the statue itself was quite impressive. The story of the creation of the statue is even better. When Alexander the great died at a young age he left no clear successor and a civil war of sorts broke out. Rhodes, an island in the Aegean Sea, sided with the general Ptolemy who was also […]

Magnetic Paint

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Ok, so this probably isn’t quite as powerful as the pull fixtures product that I mentioned earlier. However, if you have that strange desire to do magnetic poetry in your hallway, this magnetic paint may be the way to go.
I do wonder if this has any ability to shield electromagnetic waves as well. If so, […]

The Temple of Artemis

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

The temple of Artemis at Ephesus is described as being 377 feet long and 180 feet wide, made almost entirely of marble. It is thought that the temple had 127 ionic columns, each 60 feet tall. The temple was completed around 550BCE.
The temple was used to house a great deal of art from sculpture […]
