This Blog is moving

For everyone who reads this blog, I'm posting this to let you all know that it's moving to a new domain. I finally set up my own domain to host my blog. For the moment this is the only one that is moving. But I'll probably move the others sometime in the near future.

The new address is http://www.WhatJamieFound.com

Amazing 3d pool art

The above swimming pool has tile mosaics on the bottom and sides of the pool to create a 3D effect. The artwork reminds me of the chalk art of Julian Beever. Imagine swimming in this pool. I would love to have something like this in a pool of my own. Of course, I would have to have a pool before I could put that kind of thing in it. Also, I expect it would be pretty expensive. Follow the link for a lot more pictures.

3000 year old bee hives found

Archaeologists working in Israel have found evidence of a thriving beekeeping industry in the city of Rehov. The hives date from around 900 BC and are the oldest examples of beekeeping ever found. Beekeeping has been found before in ancient texts and artwork, but this is the first time that any examples of intact hives have been found.

Cymatics: Demonstration using salt

Cymatics is the study of the effects of sound waves on physical items. Such as water or in the case of the video above, salt. The amazing thing is the patterns formed in the loose salt by nothing but the sound waves. The sounds in the video are actually pretty jarring. So you may want to keep the volume on your speakers on low.

Book sculptures

Brian Dettmer creates art by sculpting and carving books. His work is amazing. He currently lives in Atlanta Georgia. But his art has been on display all over the world.

Holiday

Yesterday was a holiday here in the US. So I spent the whole day building a deck on my house. It came out pretty good, but I wasn't able to spend any time posting on this blog.

Sorry about that.
