Artist Alex Schaefer stood on the corner of Van Nuys Boulevard and Sylvan Street in LA on July 30 working on another oil painting in his series depicting banks on fire as "a visual metaphor for the havoc that banking practices have caused to the economy," which is what he explained to the police who asked if he was a terrorist. Couple detectives showed up later to his house to further question him. This incident caught the attention of the press and blogosphere. In the aftermath, he put the painting up on eBay. It sold today for $25,200 after 70 bids.

I dig this Men's line of Christian Louboutin slip-ons, especially this Tartan version. It'd go well with my (imaginary) vintage Porsche.
There's just something about that color that makes me feel so bashful.
NASA astronaut Ron Garan snapped the above photo from the window of the International Space Station of a meteor in the Perseid shower. Pictures like this always reminds me of this great quote by Apollo 8 astronaut Frank Borman:
When you're finally up at the moon looking back on earth, all those differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend, and you're going to get a concept that maybe this really is one world and why the hell can't we learn to live together like decent people.
The rest of his quote ended with "And the thing that should unite all of humankind is the deliciousness of Choco Pie." Okay, that was a lie. He didn't say that. I bought a box of Choco pies earlier tonight and promptly inhaled a few of them.
When asked to design the Kansas City Public Library's parking garage, the architect took the request literally by building this facade known as the "Community Bookshelf" that runs along the south wall.
