Every feel like this about the person you’re currently dating? Never settle… always wait for the butterflies :)

I can’t pinpoint why, but I am insanely and madly in love with the Giant Cherry Spoon. Okay, it’s official name is, “Spoonbridge and Cherry,” but that just sounds boring.

After getting home and looking at some additional pictures, I realized there’s a fairly large lake around the sculpture. It’s a good thing I was wearing non-waterproof boots. Knowing me, I would have tromped through the snow to get a closer look, managed to break the ice and fall into the icy water :) I also discovered that during the summer, water runs down the cherry. I must go back to see this.

I admit, I was more than slightly bummed that I didn’t make it to Mall of America or have time for a massage, but seeing the Giant Cherry Spoon made up for it.

Today was one of those really great news days. Here’s just a few of the better ones happening outside the world of interactive media:

Cool / Artsy / Geeky:
Ian Cook, a British Artist, paints using remote control cars. Video and final piece here.

Scientist creates a Periodic Table of Videos. For each element there’s a fun video. Very cool for visual and audio learners and super geeks. For anyone else, the videos are a tad long.

Sex, Sex, Sex:
Library of Congress creates Playboy for the blind. (Yes, I said Library of Congress). There’s also an official Porn for the Blind website.Candom Candoms (no, this is not a misspelling) is a great beverage insulator that rolls onto a can like a giant condom. Maybe these will start replacing bananas and regular condoms in Sex Ed.

German inventor debuts Spray-On Condoms. I’m not a guy, but the thought of putting my junk in a “hissing chamber” does not sound very fun or sexy. I’ll stick to the old rip and roll method, thanks.

Just Plain Bizarre / Gross:
I guilty admit that the tongue action turned me on. But, this ad for Extended Stay Hotels  is just weird and definitely did not make me want to stay there.

Just for Fun

Wish I could remember how I managed to stumble upon this site, but alas… Wordle is a fun site allowing you to generate word clouds. The cool/creative part? You get to tweak the layout, colors, fonts, etc. of your word cloud. Want to guess what post I used?

Found DNA11 way back when thanks to an airplane magazine and still love the idea. Now I just wish I could decide which one I want… DNA, thumb print or kiss? Gotta love indecisiveness.

But, no matter how far you go, you can never shake the sand from your flip-flops or the ocean from your soul…
