Youngme, Nowme
Youngme / Nowme is an art project where people post pictures of themselves now, recreating pictures taken of them when they were young. They’re a bit hit or miss, and there’s a fair number of missing / broken pictures, but a few of them are absolutely great.
A few favorites (I know, lame link text, but I don’t want to give them away): here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
Kind of makes me want to dig up some baby pictures. Whole collection here.

155 days to kickoff…
Iowa Hawkeye Football 2008 – The Year in Photos from HFM Ride on Vimeo.
In other news, it’s a sad, sad day in Iowa football… they’re putting astroturf in Kinnick. You can’t have 3 yards and a cloud of dust if there is no dust. Next thing you know, we’ll be running a damn spread offense.
I wonder if they’ll sell the turf like they did the bricks when they redid the South end zone and press box. How cool would it be to have a little square of Kinnick grass growing in a pot. That would be the best house plant ever. I’m serious. Do you think they’ll sell the turf?

Wireframe Corolla / Random Artist – Benedict Radcliffe
So, continuing my emerging theme here on the intersection of cars, form, visual illusion, etc, while at the same time proving I’m not just a BMW fan boy, I present you with a wire frame Corolla:
What’s that I hear you say?
“But Kearn, I’ve seen a million of these computer generated wire frame models of cars.”
Oh, I’m sure you have, but this one’s not computer generated, it’s a real sculpture:
Kinda trippy, huh? Took me a few looks to believe it was really and not computer generated too. There’s more about it, and a few more pictures on AutoBlog. Also a couple more on the artist’s website. The artist that made it, Benedict Radcliffe, has a whole lot of cool stuff on his website. Definitely worth a look around. He’s also made a peddle Lamborghini that’s actually driveable.
