Living Furniture

Do you know what Arborsculpture is?

Arborsculpture is an art form utilizing the live tree trunk as the medium. By grafting, bending, framing and multiple planting, I grow useful, solid, flowering, fruiting, seasonally changing kinetic works of art and architecture.

Designs include but are not limited to chairs, tables, benches and houses that are also used as garden rooms, classrooms and gazebos. Entrance arches, tunnels, symbols, fences, bridges.

War President Mosaic

A photomosaic of our “war president” using the pictures of our fallen soldiers. Click on the picture for a higher resolution picture which is on Michael Moore’s site although it was created by the person who runs the American Leftist blog. A great job although very depressing.

Dog Diaper

Now, there is a solution to the problem of dog waste: a revolutionary dog diaper that will permanently transform dog care everywhere. The problem of dog waste in urban centers as well as in households is worldwide. A measure of the problem in urban centers is reflected in the canine laws, both in the U.S. and abroad, which impose considerable fines upon dog owners who do not “pick up after their dogs.” Furthermore, animal waste poses a health hazard in parks and other places when left uncollected. The Dog Diaper is fashionable, it has been patented (U.S. and worldwide) and has been successfully tested on several breeds of dogs. Dogs do not require training to use the diaper. The Dog Diaper is disposable, thus offering repeat business. It eliminates mess indoors and the unpleasant chore of picking up dog waste by hand outdoors. A video demonstration shows dogs using the Dog Diaper.

False Advertising

Lots of advertising parodies here.

Kite Aerial Photography

These web pages will be a journal of sorts, a place to gather and record notes regarding a developing interest in aerial photography from kites. Kite aerial photography appeals to that part of me, perhaps of all of us, that would slip our earthly bonds and see the world from new heights. An aerial view offers a fresh perspective of familiar landscapes and in doing so challenges our spatial sensibilities, our grasp of relationships.

The Traffic Cone Preservation Society

Until the late 20th century, traffic cones were not thought worthy of scientific study. It is the Society’s mission to counteract these centuries of neglect. By preserving and studying these “Helpers of Humanity,” we hope to allow future generations the opportunity to enjoy these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats.
