VBS digs deep. Ha!

These decks by Damien Hirst are available in-store at Supreme in New York today. Buy the whole dang set, because they’re worth it. The T-shirt is on point too.
The fish is alive and partially deep fried. I didn’t know that was possible.

Our girl Alix makes these really cool stitch pieces. So cool in fact, she has opened an Etsy store to sell some of them.

Rollover the images on her site and see what’s for sale. What a good idea, I should do this with my storage closet.
“Sarah decided to leave the corporate world behind her and has set up shop in her own home. Her home, round the corner from Portobello Market where she has a stall, is now overflowing with treasures and delights and she welcomes visitors with tea and cakes.”

That’s just the first page of a 100-question test given to an eighth-grade class in 1954 USA. Be sure to check out the rest and see if you can answer them with present-day figures.

Sorry for the confusing title but, I found this link because I clicked on a link that said just that “marinetraffic.com is a fun way to burn otherwise productive time.“ The whole you-could-be-spending-your-time-better thing was little too sanctimonius, Marine Traffic on the other hand is awesome. Click on a ship in the sea, and you can get pics, routes, and all other goodies. If you’re thinking about going the way of the pirate, this is a necessary resource.
This video for ‘Ready, Able’ is sick.
