Can't wait for this building to be finished.
On the High Line park.
My friend Clay visited me over the weekend from DC. We've been friends since 1994.
Italian artist Piero Manzoni created 90 of these tin cans in 1961 that are ostensibly filled with the artist's feces. Some claim they are actually filled with plaster, however "an art dealer from the Gallery Blu in Milan claims to have detected a fecal odour emanating from a can." In 2008 one of the tins sold at a Sotheby's auction for £97,250 or approximately $153,625.

Stunning photo taken by Doug Perrine of bioluminescent plankton in the waters off Vaadhoo Island. Looks like something from the film Avatar.

While in Yemen recently on behalf of the New York Times to cover a presidential election with just one candidate, photographer Ed Ou took a detour to revisit the region of Tehama in the hopes of seeing for himself stories he had heard years prior about locals there who found sport in jumping over camels. The photos are fantastic. This needs to be an Olympic sport.
Pi to 4,000,000 decimal places "translated into colored pixels corresponding to digits 0-9." If this isn't accurate enough, then consider that "it only takes 39 digits of pi to draw a circle the size of the universe down to the accuracy of a hydrogen atom." So yeah.
Static never looked so interesting.
