So I was reading BLDBLG (who have an insane picture of a hole-to-hell diamond mine) and came across “averaged photos” artwork… Not that it's very exciting when come compare it to the real world pit of Sarlacc, but along the same lines, here are forty Madonna piercings:

I don't know how long this link will last (screenshot), but I've got to say that's in pretty poor taste from my point of view (and I'm not sure what point they're trying to make).

The NY Times today is running an article on “The Open Source War“, basically talking about how agile terrorist groups are in terms of strategy and technology (but this has always been the strength of a guerrilla movement)… Along those lines, Defense Tech points out that Iraqi insurgents are using IRA bomb technology.

Other than that, as you know one of my projects is a concrete boat, and I found this interesting site on US concrete boats from WWI and WWII… I had no idea that the US Navy was running full size war-ships built out of ferrocement!
