wires.jpg
Just when I thought my power strip was becoming a bit unruly, this post makes an appearance. After all, who really makes a big effort to keep cables in check? A gallery like this could make you turn a new leaf. Whether it is a data center catastrophe of wiring, or more computer cables than you’ve ever seen in your life — these pics show what can happen if you let them take over.

There are over three dozen images, so we’ve picked out a few of the best to give you an idea of what’s going on. See those below (more can be found here).

    Posted 2/09/2010 9:30 am by Ron Hogan

    Melanie Typaldos has a few hundred pounds of rodent at her home in Buda, Texas, but she won’t need any rat poison.  The rodent she has is actually the family pet.  He’s named Caplin Rous, and he’s a 2-foot-tall, 200-pound rodent from South America called a capybara, and he might be the most popular capybara […]

    Delicious Pepsi H1N1 For Sale!

    Posted 2/08/2010 10:00 am by Ron Hogan

    I know what you’re thinking.  Well, I know what I’m thinking, anyway.  “People still care about H1N1?”  Apparently so!  That’s why Walgreen’s Drug Stores are putting H1N1 in their drinks, snacks, and even their Buffalo wings.  It’s a sure-fire way to get people to pay up for an anti-H1N1 vaccine; you just have to poison […]

    Tweeting Pictures Of Earth From Space

    Posted 2/05/2010 8:00 am by Ron Hogan

    It’s amazing just how popular Twitter has become.  It’s such a big deal that even astronauts use it!  Not only are they using it, they’re also using the power of Twitter and Twitpic to beam images of the Earth back from space!  Just check out io9’s gallery of Tweeted space photographs from Astronaut Jose and […]

    The Strange Worlds Of Matthew Albanese

    Posted 2/04/2010 10:00 am by Ron Hogan

    It looks like a photograph of Mars, but it’s not.  That’s actually 12 pounds of cinnamon, charcoal, paprika, thyme, and chili powder artfully arranged into a harsh, desert landscape.  It’s one of the many strange worlds depicted by artist Matthew Albanese in his collection titled (appropriately enough) Strange Worlds.   Albanese uses everyday materials to […]

    Predators, Prey Choose To Play Rather Than Fight

    Posted 2/04/2010 7:30 am by Ron Hogan

    Three young cheetahs on the prowl manage to separate a young impala, a deer-like member of the antelope family, from the rest of the herd.  I’ve watched enough nature shows to know what happens next, and I imagine phototographer Michel Denis-Huot knew what was supposed to happen next, too.  That little impala is destined to […]

    Pierced, Gothic Kittens

    Posted 2/04/2010 7:00 am by Ron Hogan

    Holly Crawford, a 35-year-old from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, had an unusual online business.  She sold kittens.  Lots of people sell kittens, so Holly differentiated herself via good marketing by picking up her piercing kit and marketing pierced, customized gothic kittens.  She used a 14-gauge needle, the likes of which are normally used on cattle, to do […]

    The Internet, In Graph Form

    Posted 2/04/2010 6:00 am by Ron Hogan

    Who doesn’t love a good infographic?  I know I do.  Whenever possible, I like to consume my information in chart or graph form.  Not only is it easier to read and make instant comparison, sometimes it comes in pie chart form, and that makes me think of consuming delicious pie alongside my delicious information.  For […]

    Po The Viper Or A Smoking Snake

    Posted 2/03/2010 8:30 am by Ron Hogan

    Cigarettes are dangerous, but don’t tell that to Po.  After all, he’s addicted, so he won’t take kindly to your criticism, but more than that, Po is also a snake.  Even snakes can get addicted to cigarettes, apparently!  Apparently, Po picked up the habit because his owner, Sho Lau, has a 20 cig-a-day habit, and […]

    Frankenbears On The Loose

    Posted 2/02/2010 8:00 am by Ron Hogan

    Some might call the subject of Kent Rogowski’s photography cute, but that’s before Kent has his way with them.  Kent’s photography book, Bears, contains a whole lot of pictures of stuffed teddy bears.  They’re a classic, even iconic, children’s plaything, so what better way to get some shock than to take a teddy bear and […]

    Hercules, The Largest Living Cat On Earth

    Posted 1/29/2010 9:00 am by Ron Hogan

    See Hercules up there?  He’s yet another Guinness World Record holder.  In his case, he’s the largest living cat on earth, and a wonderful example of the principle of hybrid vigor (the principle behind the world’s largest housecat breed).  His father was a lion, and his mother was a tiger, which means Herc is a […]

    The Sphinxa Hut

    Posted 1/27/2010 8:30 am by Ron Hogan

    Pizza Hut delivers to the Pyramids.  It might sound funny, but it’s actually true.  The image you see there isn’t Photoshopped.  Giza, Egypt, has grown so great that it now encroaches on the location of the Great Pyramids, and that view you see is from the Pizza Hut that’s basically across the street.  Apparently, the […]

    The World’s Ugliest Endangered Fish

    Posted 1/26/2010 6:00 am by Ron Hogan

    It’s quite possibly the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a whole lot of ugly fish (and forced others to look at them, too).  However, the blobfish is in his own category.  Still, just because it’s a horridly ugly fish doesn’t mean it deserves to be fished to death, and right now poor […]
