Space shuttle Enterprise, mounted atop a NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), is seen as it flies near the Statue of Liberty, Friday, April 27, 2012, in New York. Enterprise was the first shuttle orbiter built for NASA performing test flights in the atmosphere and was incapable of spaceflight. Originally housed at the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Enterprise will be demated from the SCA and placed on a barge that will eventually be moved by tugboat up the Hudson River to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in June.

I love lemons. And I love crafts. So this photo is really tickling me. It’s from a Wired slideshow about Terry Border, wire object enthusiast and photographer. He has a blog called Bent Objects. Here’s what Wired said about him:

Instead of storyboarding or sketching his scenes out, Border said the best ones just come to him. Take Mail Order Bride, for example. He used to work as a baker in a grocery store and one day while leaving work he passed by a display of real lemons sitting next to a box of plastic lemons. As he walked by he thought, if those lemons were alive, “how would they associate with each other?” The plastic lemons appeared almost doll-like next to the real ones, prompting him to think about humans and their dolls. The final shot gives an idea of his thought process.

While a lot of his scenes rely on word play to complete the loop, Border actually tries to stay away from being too clever with his titles because he wants it to appeal to a broader audience. His more R-rated images are usually get published on a different blog called Really Bent.

Erotic DIY, the new frontier.

Thx to Staton Piercey for this link.

This video has been making the rounds on blogs, and yes, Ms. Houston will be remembered for more than “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” but still–this video! The colors, the permed bangs, the neon accents, the paint-splattered backdrops, the lighting effects, the bedazzled denim jackets! It’s all so fabulous and so so so Whitney. Watch, feel inspired, repeat.

That is all.
