Picasso. Dumbo.

Posted in Artworks, Movies, Oddly enough on April 17th, 2008 by PM

Here’s a whole new meaning to animal art.

picasso-flower1.png
elephant-art1.png

Can an elephant hold his/her own with Picasso? Maybe. There is enough evidence that experts are pondering similar questions.

There are art schools in Thailand that train the elephants to paint and sell the art to raise awareness about the Asian elephant. An elephant can be trained to paint an object, say a flower in a pot, a tree, a self-portrait. Some like abstract art as the example above shows. Want to see more elephant artists? One video puts an elephant painting next to a William de Kooning. There are unsettling similarities. Enough to freak out William (1904 - 1997) if he was with us.

Animals as Friends alerted PM to this phenom and has a really good video. Take a peek.

You stunning swine.

Posted in Health, Issues/Opinions, Mammals on April 11th, 2008 by PM

swine n. , pl. swine . Any of various omnivorous, even-toed ungulates of the family Suidae, including pigs, hogs, and boars, having a stout body.

Top two photos from Wired magazine [wired 15.11] discussing cloning. “The other other white meat”—it looks the same, it cooks the same, it tastes the same. but this pig, a Hampshire from Indiana name Nelly, is a clone. And cloned bacon? It may already be at your supermarket. The second photo deck copy reads “My fist-size chop is glazed in a sugary, thick-as-molasses marinade. It tastes better than anything I’ve had at a restaurant—moist, succulent, and wonderfully tender.Read the rest of this entry »

Show-me.

Posted in Tips/Info on April 10th, 2008 by PM

To put a face to the name of the person you are blogging with, here is my screenshot of a post I am developing about, yep you guessed it, piggies.

screen-pigs.jpg

These piggie images are 800px wide, about the average “source” image size. They will be displayed at 400px. If this blog was a two-column layout, the images might have been displayed at 600px. To put the screenshot in perspective I am using a 24 inch Cinema Display and all those icons along the right side are SOME of the applications I use. One dreads upgrades.

I have several analytical helpers to tell me who visits PM. Info includes, pages visited, referrers, search key words, country, computer software, size of screen, incoming links, outgoing links, with many many options I don’t use yet. You get the idea.

It comes as a surprise, from my traffic at least, the Internet Explorer browser is used less than 10% with Firefox in the 80% range. If you are developing ( coding ) sites, that is good news if you know what I mean. 1/2 of my visitors are unique. 60% from the USA, I am in Chicago. 15% from direct links, 45% from other sites, 40% from searches. Stumbleupon visitors are my biggest repeat referrers.

Oh, and if you have anything on piggies, please let PM know.

Well, that’s enough about me. Put a face to your name and let’s hear a little more about you. To do that here are easy to follow instructions to contact the same folks plus new friends. Read the rest of this entry »

Earth Hour 2008. Plus 24×7.

Posted in Issues/Opinions, News on April 6th, 2008 by PM

It’s been a week since Earth Hour 2008. So we looked around to see what happened then, and if anything since…

google-k.jpg
A student told me Google went black! Good for them. This is how my mind envisioned a black Google.
chicago-2008-1.jpg
The normal Chicago skyline at bottom.

This taken from the Chicagoist

Earth Hour officials indicate last year there were 2.2 million who participated in a one-hour effort to bring awareness to energy conservation. Yesterday, they estimated that number was around 10 million. In Chicago, the Sears Tower, the John Hancock, the Wrigley Building, and the Tribune Tower dimmed decorative lights, while 500 McDonald’s throughout Chicagoland turned off their golden arches. In the theatre district, marquees went dark, and Elphaba, the witch from “Wicked” turned out the lights with a dramatic “spell”. Navy Pier’s iconic ferris wheel went dark and nearly every store on the Magnificent Mile turned out their lights. Read the rest of this entry »

Meow. Haute dog.

Posted in Humor, Oddly enough on April 4th, 2008 by PM

I had a month to put together a post on animal clothing. Not to write the story but to get the photos. Oddly enough it seemed easy enough. That’s because ever since our excursion to South Beach several months ago, where there are no naked animals, it’s clearly obvious that animal fashion is big.

Researched “hundreds” of photos and sadly, could only select four. Maybe you can find some that merit more exposure. Please.

If you are going to dress up, this is tasteful. This gets a thumbs up.
clothes-dog1.jpg
This is not a dog. I know this person. It’s aunty Martha. Only two years and she’s come back.
arfdeco1.jpg
If you are going to dress up are you going to dress up like Bozo the Clown? No. This is a thumbs up.
cat-clothes1.jpg
Why aren’t there more cats dressing up? They would always do it right.
A thumbs up.

I am not sure when this phenom happened. Maybe it was always this way and I didn’t notice it. One thing for sure, the pet stores have morphed into something new. Not the big box stores, but the mom and pop’s, as smaller stores were once called. But that’s another storyline. Enter the pet boutique. They look like Filene’s Basement, Bloomingdales, Victoria Secret, or The Pleasure Chest (an adult clothing-apparatus store in our hood.)
