Output from a trace route program have replaced “Home Sweet Home”. I am pretty sure every nerd in your life needs one of these hanging on their office wall.

I love butter. Show me a 1,000 lb butter sculpture of Darth Vader and Yoda, and I will invite you to the most stylish corn roast you’ve ever imagined.

“Each year at the Tulsa State Fair, an artist is commissioned to make a sculpture out of butter. In past years, cows, farmers, and baseball players were created out of hundreds of pounds of butter. This year, in celebration of Star Wars’s final episode, TSF is featuring Darth Vader and Yoda, all dairy-like.”

This is truly novel idea for a vehicle piloted by a fish.

Seith Weiner has created a vehicule piloted by a fish and propelled by 2 drive wheels, each driven by its own servomotor. The fish steers the vessel by its movements. A camera above the cockpit tracks the movements of the Terranaut (that’s the name of the fish-pilot). Its location is then wirelessly transmitted to a remote processing station where the data is converted into motion commands and transmitted back to the motion controller of the vehicle.

For whatever reason Lenin statues litter the globe.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Lenin statues were pushed over and beheaded as a symbol of the society’s new openness. (That means in the countries occupied by the Russians). In Russia Lenin statues are however still a common sight. Most cities have at least one statue of Lenin and it is usually placed at Lenin square at the most central location. Small towns (up to 20 000 inhabitants) usually have an ugly low budget version or a bust instead.

Wow!! I can’t believe how cool this hand art is! Which one is your favourite? I am partial to the Eagle and the Elephant.

A painting of a big yellow buttocks is being considered for this year’s Turner Prize.

THE artwork shortlisted for this year’s Turner Prize was unveiled yesterday - including a painting of a giant yellow bum.

The picture is part of series called Bum Paintings by favourite Gillian Carnegie.

Out of all the other candidates, I actually have to say that this one seems the most deserving to win. I hope it does not get a ‘bum’ deal.

The Worth1000 photoshop contest yielded some interesting results. Now to figure out how to transform the digital form to an actual painting with real depth and richness of stroke, texture and colour, then we would have something! And yes, that does mean I think digital forms of art are lesser forms than traditional forms…

Could it be true that there is a painting to rival Ms. Mona?

Move over, Mona Lisa. If Carlo Pedretti’s hunch is right, the world may soon have another Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece to admire.

A stunningly beautiful painting called Mary Magdalene which the world-class art historian suspects may have been painted by Leonardo da Vinci together with one of his pupils will soon go on public view for the first time in more than half a century.

Ridiculously tiny creatures hidden on ridiculously tiny chips…

Our search has led to a new collection of photomicrographs (photographs taken through a microscope) featuring many of the interesting silicon creatures and other doodling scribbled onto integrated circuits by engineers when they were designing computer chip masks. The tiny creatures are far too small to be seen with the naked eye, so we have provided high-magnification photomicrographs to share these mysterious wonders with our visitors.

Tobacco warnings are now modern art.

The graphic images appear as health warnings on Canadian cigarette packs, and they will now be part of a MoMA exhibition on objects designed to protect the mind and body from dangerous or stressful influences.
