Bad Combo

2013-06-28T16:56:00.000-05:00

Some lunch truck combinations are just begging to be made fun of.

I guess they can't be all that bad though, there's always a line.

Fined for making Bad Puns

2013-01-03T10:17:00.000-06:00

That's right folks. I got in trouble the other day for a salt and battery...

Spell Check is Out of Order

2013-01-02T14:35:00.000-06:00

So much for getting my money out of this ATM. It seems its ordering capabilities are a bit off today.

The Truth About Soviet Russia

2012-12-18T12:51:00.001-06:00

It's always good to remember that there will always be some form of political opinion. Of course, it's also good to remember that if you don't agree with the rhetoric, you don't have to keep reading about it.

Jesus Loves Me...

2012-12-11T14:37:00.000-06:00

That's right. Jesus loves me fast asleep, because when I'm awake I'm really loud!

This Little Piggy Had Vigor

2012-10-12T13:15:00.001-05:00

These happy pigs are full of vigor.

Blow The Whistle

2012-10-10T16:15:00.001-05:00

Nothing says "I had no idea what to get you" like a cloisonné whistle.

It's a good thing these are only $8.00. Then you'll have something left over to try (and fail) again.

Distressed Painted Wood

2012-10-09T12:36:00.000-05:00

Two shots of the same bit of distressed wood. The only difference is the angle the camera was held to allow the ambient light to change some. Personally, I just like the way the paint has worn off the wood.

Someone shot the couch.

I originally thought that the jacket would be a fun piece. Maybe with a more plain shirt and tie instead, but fun none the less.

Then I saw that it matched the furniture...

Spotted at Neiman Marcus, Northpark Mall, Dallas Texas during Fashion Night Out.

Board Meeting

2012-08-22T14:49:00.000-05:00

My guess is that the current topic of discussion is the Iron market.

Grin and Bear It - The "New" Antiques

2012-08-20T10:56:00.000-05:00

There's a new kind of antique store cropping up everywhere. It's not just antiques, and it's not really crafts, but it does have quite a bit of the more unusual items that don't show up in often in your "traditional" antique store.

Upcycled USB Hub

2012-08-14T18:58:00.000-05:00

Every once in a while I have an idea to merge two [useless] items together. This one is a USB hub (pulled from its broken case) added to some used cypress posts (cut down to fit). The result is a big and bulky, but still useful, USB hub. The LED glow from the center is pretty neat, but I'll leave it up to the reader as to if they find it inspiring for a piece of wooden technology, or if it just looks like junk.

Vintage Type Tray

2012-08-14T14:54:00.001-05:00

Close up view of a vintage wooden type tray. Perfect for holding all sorts of little things (including dust).

Double Ad Fail

2012-08-09T11:39:00.001-05:00

I think Google missed the target audience and language here. Do Monster Truck Jam fans really shop at Neiman Marcus? Is the Grave Digger fan's cosmetic of choice L'Oreal? Are there more Spanish speaking Grave Digger fans than any other language?

Someone needs to give the engineer who wrote the ad algorithm here a ride in a monster truck and scare some logic and sense into them.

"Swinging" Vintage Advertisement

2012-08-08T21:44:00.000-05:00

A great vintage ad from the early 1970s. It was certainly a swinging era! I think I'll go read some Travis McGee books again...

Instant Seduction

2012-08-06T14:21:00.000-05:00

That's funny, I've never had much luck with the "Hey Baby, I've got cheese and eggs" line...

Rain Drops

2012-07-01T20:30:00.001-05:00

A view through the sun roof to the sun and clouds after a good rain.

Vintage Bookshelf Drawing

2012-06-28T15:06:00.001-05:00

I won't lay claim to have drawn this. It's actually from a vintage woodworking book. But the design still inspires me.

Maybe one day I'll actually try and build one.

Wave to all the nice people

2012-05-27T16:38:00.000-05:00

Who knows where this AA flight is coming from? It's arriving in DFW shortly. In the meantime, a nice friendly Texas wave is in order, even if they can't see me...

Smoke Break

2012-05-13T13:12:00.000-05:00

It's the small towns that sometimes produce the best candid pictures. I've had so many thoughts for captions on this one, and yet none of them truly capture the moment.

I'll just let the picture speak for itself...

Vintage Desk Phone

2012-05-10T21:26:00.001-05:00

The sheer awesomeness of 1984 technology includes an offset rotary dial and retractable cord all packaged in a stylish custom faux wood case.

Vintage Wedding Cake Topper

2012-05-04T22:41:00.000-05:00

Were people's lips really that pink back then...?

Orange Poppies

2012-05-02T09:59:00.000-05:00

Bright orange and yellow poppies.
