Hey guys, how’s this raining turning out for you? My feet are freakin’ soaked :(

• D’ya like flowers? photography? Check out these 50 pretty epic examples of flower photography.
• How the internet works cartoon, tbh I struggle with this whole internet thing… uh, that can’t be right? hah!

• Quit hiding your cables, dress them up! Via unplgged
• Annie’s eats does chicken and shrimp jambalaya, we’re having a deep south cook-off in our kitchen in the next couple of weeks. We’ll have gumbo, jambalaya, red velvet cake, corn bread, sweet p’tatos & all manner of cajun goodies. Think we’re doing a sausage jambalaya!
• FinestImaginary were featured in a cuteable cowboy round-up this week, check it out!

• Loving this fox plush by Sara Carr, on etsy.

• How to make homemade taffy, definitely one I need to try!

• T-rex garden statue, echoing the geekologie writer’s view — DO WANT!

• This is well cool, a nissan cube frozen in water and etched. Neato, see more at the indie quarter blog.

• The lost art of Inglorious basterds round-up on OMG posters!

• If you haven’t seen it yet, watch the Photoshop Cook video above.

Ok, maybe not Alice, but the first thing I thought when I saw this outfit from the Vivienne Westwood LFS show was ‘Dude, Mad hatter!’ … maybe not ‘Dude!’, definitely ‘Mad hatter’. I haven’t blogged about the fashion weeks this year, I usually do a couple of posts on my favourite collections. I’ve been watching though, maybe not as much as usual, but still. I can’t watch too hard, else my bank account starts gently weeping at the lack of funds to buy anything!

bah! Stupid having to pay for a house thing with windows and a kitchen :(

Maybe next season…

PS. I made a few tweaks to the blog design over the weekend, did you see? I have another cool feature coming up soon, too.

Oh noes, our pretty fish bit the dust today. We found Sir Terry floating on his side this morning, and soon after his gills stopped flapping and his eyes stopped rolling. We scooped him out and burried him in the garden, Adam made him a little cairn on top of his grave. Neil looked like he was ok, until this afternoon when he started to go the same way. Alas, it wasn’t long before he joined his friend in the ground. No idea if they were just old, or something weird happened to the water. We’ll be getting some smaller shoaling fish for the biorb in the coming weeks.

This is a neat idea, submit your size and take a short quiz and they’ll send you a ’scientifically calculated’ shirt. I’d love to see the shirts people get, and if they like them! Hipstery.com

• Straight into it this week, check out the video above. It’s amazing.
• The BBC website/visual identity is changing, they’ve got one of my most favourite designs on board (Neville Brody, I heard him speak once and he basically told us that Uni didn’t mean shit… I still stand by that statement) to help see it over. Super interesting stuff if you’re into web design, or graphic design, or anything remotely related to technology I guess.
• Web designer wall looks at the fun things you can do with CSS3, nice.
• And on the subject of geeky web-stuff, I went to a conference last week in Leeds called Speak the web. Well, I say conference, it was more like a group of speakers in a relaxed pub environment, it was neat. So maybe I should do a write up about it? Maybe.

• This photo of a snowy dog belly made me laugh quite a lot the other day, maybe more than I should have.  Via cuteoverload.

• More amazing illustration found on Pikaland, you can find Jenni Saarenkylä’s haunting forest inspired prints on etsy. I bought the set of 3 for our art-landing :D

• The british library are holding a special exhibition for all things Alice in Wonderland, they have this original manuscript of ‘Alice’s Adventures Underground’ written and illustrated by Lewis Carroll. Neat, hey? You can find out more and see more of the scan on the CR blog » Curiouser and Curiouser.

• Hot sauce embroidery on craftzine!

• Tiny dinosaur figure on boingboing

Let me know if you have anything to add! :D
