Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Dear lord, please say this is real; it’s either the greatest thing ever, or the worst. Either way, we want one.

Flogos, a subsidiary of the equally fictitious-sounding but very real SnowMasters, has developed a way to make clouds, real clouds, in any shape you want them. The clouds are safe for the environment, can be up to 6 feet wide and – so long as you show some discretion in your designs – are guaranteed to bring smiles to the masses before dissipating as far as four miles away.

You know how Ikea sets up those little worlds inside of each furniture display scenario? You know how they try to make it feel ever-so-real with their plastic TV’s, faux-phones, lighting, rugs and what have you? You know how you always think, “Damn, I could just about live here”? Well Rob Cockerham, he of Cockeyed, and Jason Adair, didn’t go quite that far, but they did host a dinner party.

In today’s Daily Mail they’ve taken the time to dissect Donald Trumps do. Want the most powerful hair on the planet? Today’s the day and this is the way. Enjoy.

Hey, if anyone has the cojones to hit the bathroom with a comb and some class, be sure to send up a picture.

Think of all the different awesome stuff you could do if you had a backhoe. The world would be your sandbox. You could dig holes. Big ones. And make piles of dirt. Really big ones. And, um, undress girls…

Machinery is neat. No wonder construction workers are always so horny; think of all the joy to be had with a jackhammer or pneumatic drill.

Shawn Feeney is a Long Island-based artist who says he’s “interested in how sound is represented visually, and how images are interpreted sonically… my musical background, which includes Western classical, rock, electronica, and free improvisation, informs my approach to visual art.” That’s cool. He’s also a police sketch artist though. That’s even cooler. It’s probably fitting though that because he spends his days painting perps, his doggles after dark involve drawing friends.

The BFF project works like this: Email Shawn a picture of you and your best friend, and he’ll sketch a portrait of the two of you morphed together. He’s taking 128 photos and drawing 64 pictures.

Next he’s taking those 64 sketches, pairing each off with the one next to it, and drawing 32 composites. And so on, and so on, and so on. Until he’s left with just one sketch the represents the combined faces of all 128 friends. He’s only done the first 16 drawings and figures finishing the whole set will take about a year. Sadly, he filled all 128 spots last week. Maybe if you get creative though, he’ll consider you a friend… everyone does favors for friends.

What can you say that hasn’t been said already…
the guy is a pirate.

Wouldn’t you like to be a pirate too?

Some doggles are not safe for work, this one included. Others, are just plain not safe. Watch what happens a minute in, and let this be an example; fun is never worth getting hurt for.

Hey Mr. Trainrider, we’re talking to you too…

Naomi is Australian. Naomi is a student. Naomi is a ninja… a cupcake ninja!

Longtime reader (name withheld in light of recent events) writes in to share his latest and greatest hobby: Coloring in porn.

He simply drags an image off the web, opens it in Photoshop, and de-porns it with a few shiny new pixels and loads of imagination.

Pretty cool right?

After working on the popcorn cell phone thing all day, it’s looking more and more like a hoax. Contact juggling, however, is not.
