Illustrator Jed Henry has drawn several Nintendo characters in the style of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. It’s a bit kitsch, but his original work isn’t bad. It reminds of an “I am 8 bit” exhibition.

Stay Classy Microsoft
Apparently wanting to appeal to brogrammers, Microsoft presented the “Meet Azure” dance show for this year’s Norwegian Developers’ Conference party. That would be raising booth babes to another level, but what really takes the cake of course are the lyrics [Ed. Note: coloring original].
The words “micro” and “soft” don’t refer to my penis (or vagina)
Classy. Way to be inclusive there Microsoft. They way you slipped in “or my vagina” in parentheses and then wrote it in girly pink was magnifique! Not only do girls like pink, and like talking about genitals in public, but society especially like vaginas that are described as large and hard.
Kudos, my man. Kudos.

Stone Tree
Jordan Mason and Eric Landman built this tree into a wall for Island Lake Conservation Area in Orangeville, Ontario.
I particularly like how the moss on the round fieldstones added to the illusion of leaves. It seems like walled yards are pretty common in the SF Bay. If I had a wall, it would be nice to have something like this. It’s much better than a blank wall, and it probably would take less maintenance than a painted mural.
