Bonsai Tree Houses by Takanori Aiba
For nearly a decade since the late 1970s artist Takanori Aiba worked as a maze illustrator for Japanese fashion magazine POPYE. The following decade he worked as an architect and finally in 2003 decided to merge the two crafts—the design of physical space and the drawing of labyrinths—into these incredibly detailed tiny worlds. Using craft paper, plastic, plaster, acrylic resin, paint and other materials Aiba constructs sprawling miniature communities that wrap around bonsai trees, lighthouses, and amongst the cliffs of nearly vertical islands. I would love to visit every single one of these places, if only I was 6 feet shorter.

This is apparently coming out in 3 days.
In 3 days, I’m going to start to be a total jogging addict, I think
I’ve been beta testing it and I can confirm it’s actually the greatest app ever. Full iOS release date is as specified, Android release this Spring.
It’s so intense, at one point during the first mission when radio contact was lost, I could hear them trying to contact me “Can you hear us?!” and I literally grabbed the mic and shouted, “I CAN HEAR YOU WHAT DO I DO?” even though that’s not how it works.
I’m just glad nobody was near me.
Oh, shit. By the time I can put it on my Droid OS phone, it’ll be(consistently) nice enough out to actually run before or after work.
I’m not going to do this, but it looks like it could be lots of fun!
GETTING. THIS.
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
LIKE
I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING
Shoot, I have yet to buy a single app and I would buy this instead of waiting for it to go on sale. It’s the one thing that might actually make me *gasp* take up jogging. (I hate jogging. Or running. But this is SO BEAUTIFUL.)
ETA: It’s…$7.99. Why do I feel so resistant about spending more than maybe a buck on an iPhone game? In this case it actually does make some sense to wait and see if the price drops, I guess, since I really, really don’t want to go running in the winter. >_<

anyone who says “just internet friends” is a fucking douche okay
my internet friends have wiped my tears dozens more times than my “real life friends”Any friendship, on line or not, is still a bond, no? Whether you be a mile away, or a thousand miles away—it’s still a friendship. Something brings us all together; a string of fate, if you will? We’re friends. I love mine. No matter where they are on this planet. And I don’t see the difference than living ten minutes away or eighteen hours away. Friendship is friendship.
A number of reputable psychologists and sociologists seem to agree with the populace that claims internet friendships are just as strong and healthy as the face-to-face ones. Here are just a few quotes obtained from a scholastic library of essays written by said psychologists and sociologists.
“Many friendships have been formed online. A national survey of adolescent Internet users in the United States reported that more than half of the sample conversed with people whom they did not know face-to-face through various online communication channels such as chat rooms and email. Twenty-five percent of the adolescents developed casual online friendships, and 14% of them had developed close online friendships.”
“We propose that those who feel that they can better express their true selves
on the Internet than they can in their non-Internet areas of life will be more likely
to form close relationships with those they meet on-line.”“…not only do UK housewives spend more of their downtime online than anyone else in the whole wide world, but also that – shock, horror – people are increasingly open to turning “online” friends into people they’d deign to call real life friends.”
“However, it may be hard to find others who share one’s interests in one’s local area, and when people get to know one another in the traditional manner, it generally takes time to establish whether they have commonalities and to what extent. But when someone joins a newsgroup devoted to, for example, aging ferrets, he or she already knows that there is a shared base of interest with the others there.”
“Some researchers argue that people can develop close online relationships because the Internet enables individuals to pass through obstacles that may prevent potentially rewarding relationships from developing through face-to-face interaction.”
“Depending on the root of the friendship, on where the conversation started, the benefit is clear – you cut out the tedium of small talk. What could be better? There’s no trying to slowly work out whether you think similarly or have the same kinds of life experience, or whether you really do have enough in common to sustain the friendship – all that is done by the time you meet because you’ve read their comments or their emails or their blog. “
So, tl;dr?
Anyone who would dare talk down on close, internet relationships is ignorant.

Really amazing Death photo. Fans are fantastic. Fans with art and photography skills are fantabulous.
Filing away for inspiration, as I plan to go as Death to SDCC this summer.
THIS PLAN IS THE BEST PLAN
I feel like my friends and I should all have the “We’re total fucking bad asses” one printed so we can carry them around and hand them out like business cards. Because we totally are.
