Gravity-defying levitating superconductor on a magnetic Möbius strip
Does anybody else see a cartoon dog face drifting into the logo at around 0:05?
Just, you know, wondering…

Hey, #NSA, I just took another picture by mistake.
Gosh darn this new cellphone anyway.
Oh, and by the way, we've got a new #PhoneSystem at work starting today. All of a sudden, we don't have to dial 9 to get out. Well, I've been dialing 9 for an outside line for about 8 years now, so when I called Mary today, I [STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!] dialed 9 and then her number. Now my phone thinks I'm trying to call #Afghanistan. Dialing code: 93.
I would like to state, for the record, that this was a mistake. I don’t know anybody in Afghanistan, I have no reason to call there....I’ve said too much. Oh my God*, I hope I haven’t said too much.
Last night, there was a #DRONE hovering outside my window, with the single glowing red eye, the hunched shoulders, a sudden silencing of all ambient sound and everything. No visible #GUN #TURRETS on this model, thank goodness!

Pareidolia
Somebody punched a hole in the men’s room wall at work:
It’s been there a while now. I kind of like it. It looks like a sleepy cartoon eye.
I took a picture of the hole:
…and printed it out. I taped the picture to the wall where the other eye would go:
…so I guess the caption of this picture must be,
“Go ahead, pee in my mouth, everybody else does.”

Tread Resist Print
This pattern persists in an unspecified puddle in the garage. I like its shape. I’ve tagged this “pareidolia” on a technicality.
…like so.
