Glass Beach

During the early 20th century residents of Fort Bragg, California chose to dispose of their waste by hurling it off the cliffs above a beach. No object was too toxic or too large as household appliances, automobiles, and all matter of trash were tossed into the crashing waves below, eventually earning it the name The Dumps. In 1967 the North Coast Water Quality Board closed the area completely and initiated a series of cleanups to slowly reverse decades of pollution and environmental damage. But there was one thing too costly (or perhaps impossible) to tackle: the millions of tiny glass shards churning in the surf. Over time the unrelenting ocean waves have, in a sense, cleansed the beach, turning the sand into a sparkling, multicolored bed of smooth glass stones now known as Glass Beach. The beach is now an unofficial tourist attraction and the California State Park System has gone so far as purchasing the property and incorporating it into surrounding MacKerricher State Park.

I want to go there. We have history, beach glass and me.

“When the floods hit Pakistan in 2010 the first thing that many people did was to head for higher ground. So too did countless millions of animals, among them spiders.  To escape the rapidly rising waters the spiders did the sensible thing and climbed up trees. The flood waters took quite a while to recede. The result was that the temporary arachnid shelter became semi-permanent”

Made for fashion designer Borre Akkersdijk by animator Niels Hoebers, this video was featured at Akkersdijk’s show at fashion week in Paris as “a visualisation of a creative production process.”

Meet the mimic octopus, the first octopus found that impersonates other animals.

Living in the tropical seas of Southeast Asia, it was not discovered officially until 1998, off the coast of Sulawesi. The octopus mimics the physical likeness and movements of more than 15 different species, including sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, flounders, jellyfish, sea anemones, and mantis shrimp…

But wait, there’s now a super-recent video of a mimic fish (a Black Marble Jawfish) mimicking the mimic octopus who mimics fish. #meta

In the spirit of Kim Jong Il Looking at Things

Caption reads “Workers at the Heungnam Shoe Factory cry Tuesday in front of a persimmon tree that late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il had looked at during an earlier visit to the factory.”

Baby rhinos sound adorable, like a cross between whales and when you pinch the neck of balloon a balloon to let the air out. And they don’t sound anything like we thought they would!

The image of a face appears from a massive storm cloud filmed in New Brunswick on Aug. 1, 2011. The face disappeared within a minute; a lightning bolt from the related storm went on to kill 40 goats.

Reread that last line.
