August 2011

(the lake as seen from the dock.  I miss you already)

Inspiration

Dot to Dot Mona Lisa from Thomas Pavitte.  6329 dots.  Wow.  (via D Sharp Journal)

Art Made from Google Maps by Jenny Odell (via Design Sponge)

The Color of Anything, a hue synthesis program which takes the colors from 80 photos from Flickr that correspond to a given search term, and puts them all together.  Rad.  (via)   --the search terms need a bit of help with tagging and such, but it is in beta, so here's hoping that bit of it improves.

Star Wars and classic movie mashups.  Heart.  (via)

 Excitement to come:

--friend from Pittsburgh coming to visit!

--blueberry picking. 

--Chicago weekend to catch up with IWU friends (and drink at The Violet Hour and feel incredibly glamorous!)

--My cousin's wedding at the St. Olaf Chapel

--visiting the Cape

--school begins!  The emails of the new freshmen arrived yesterday, and soon they'll be here on campus.  It's hard to believe it's already August.
