This fish was hand carved out of a moose antler. I saw it in a store in Anchorage when I was there for a friend’s wedding. It was the first original art I ever bought and was pretty expensive at the time.
I have a bunch of origami tesselations stuck on my window. They’re made with translucent paper (similar texture to tracing paper, but lighter), so they catch the light beautifully
Predicta television:
I’m intrigued… how does the picture work with rounded corners? Does the screen have a black outline, or are the corners snipped off?
Here’s a photo from 2001? 2002?
Yo, GameCube PSO! Ah Yeah!
The ubiquitous halogen lamp burning hot enough to melt glass agrees
Oh, yeah, those lamps are long gone now.
how does the picture work with rounded corners?
TV has worked this way during it’s first 70 years or so.
We’re cable management besties.
Cable management: are they plugged in? Yes? Ok, great, now it’s time to use the device!
Oh, that’s the before photo… I’m still waiting on this to… wrap it all up!
That’s really cool!
Now there’s a sexy CRT
Stuffed cats for deco? ;)
Lots of little tools. Various kinds of pliers, drivers, cutters, magnifiers, lights, and a couple of marlin spikes for good measure. Also, a ruler, a tape measure, and a caliper, for even better measure.
Stolen Neighborhood Crimewatch sign.
Absolutely ungovernable!
This needs a picture.
I have a gas carriage lantern from Charleston SC.
Functional decor is my personal favorite. I usually have my guitars hung up (just moved, not up in the new house yet). I tried to convince my wife to let me buy two giant googly eyes and set up our central vacuum tube as a mustache, but she didn’t go for it (I don’t blame her, just a tad sad).
A while back, I was a big fan of the lemonade flavored Trulys (alcoholic seltzer). I started stacking empty cans on my desk, letting them accumulate for a couple days, until eventually the desk would get bumped and the tower would fall.
After a while, I started hot gluing the cans together.
Long story short, I have a five layer pyramid of lemonade Trulys atop the shelving unit in the front room. I forget it’s there, but people usually ask about it within the first 15 minutes of coming over for the first time.
Top shelf:
- Whisky glasses
- 2x Islay whisky (Fuck you, bourbon!)
- A wolf head bottle holder
- A red toy cup with guitar picks, USB drives, logitech dongles, and misc other things my GF finds that I’velost or misplaced
- Tiny easter decoration chicken
Bottom shelf:
- Muumi candle
- D20 gargantuan black dragon guarding a VGI-HDMI adapter I need close to the TV.
- A large cup of some sort. I don’t know why it’s there or what it is. It has a plastic spoon inside.
Your whisky preference is indeed correct.
I dunno, bourbon is nice too. And it has the benefit of usually being a lot less expensive than a Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, Ardbeg, or Lagavulin. Rye whiskey is another one.
But Jack Daniels can fuck right off.
The skulls of my enemies.
I used to have a fairly large collection of skulls that I’d found while walking around in the woods.
Not sure what ever happened to them… Probably lost them in one of my many moves.
