Dollar Dollar Bill Ya'all

Mark Wagner makes collages out of actual US currency. I really like the sea life and the pie chart. I suppose this hits a chord like Monopoly becoming a hit in the 30's or other ways that Cash Rules Everything Around Me. I saw these in Harper's, where liberals shop for culture.

David Lynch Foundation. Television

I am having a hard time grokking the beta for DLF.TV. It is a foundation, started by David Lynch that supports TM (Transcendental Meditation) as a tool to help foster creativity and focus with students. It is also evidently an online television station. Also, Donovan. Online moments like this make me question whether I am actually awake.

Gay Penguin Print

The story of Roy and Silo, the gay penguins in the Central Park Zoo, always makes me all warm and fuzzy inside (it's hard to get much fuzzier on the outside, except for the top of my head..but that's a story probably more appropriate on another site). Mary Tremonte made a really cool print memorializing their relationship available on Just Seeds.
