Surfing the net lately

Ever played with that feature on blogger "next blog" that just randomly picks blogs for you to peruse. On those lazy mornings when I am home alone, sometimes I do that see what I'll find. Sometimes I actually will go to the links some of my family and friends send me in their joke/junk emails. You know, those emails that have been forwarded a ba-zillion times and seem to make the circuit every year. Sometimes I search for old 80s videos on youtube. Well, a few interesting sites came across my computer this week.

Dirty Car Art. Yep, that is right. I guy creates masterpieces in the grime left in your windows after not washing your car for like a year. Check it out: http://www.dirtycarart.com/

Women Suffragates

. I have been a registered voter since I turned 18. I have voted in every election except one year where I had moved and hadn't re-registered. That being said, I had completely forgotten the story of the women who fought for my right to vote. Some info is available here: http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedangels/history/

After going to this site, I stumbled across this picture and had to post it here. I am a democrat and was suprised by this picture. I think I need to research the donkey logo and party history a bit more. Another site to use for more info on this story is here: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/suffrage/nwp/prisoners.pdf

Cell Phone Art. It is a topic I have been thinking about a lot lately because I see everywhere people taking pictures and videos with their cell phones. I am very guilty of this activity as well and started looking for some stuff on cell phone art. I found this site that actually is sponsoring a contest hosted by one of the Coppolas. http://www.pahnation.com/awards_cellphone.php Then this guy creates art from using the actual phones : http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5966005 And lastly, this was the kind of site I really wanted to find. All pictures taken of random things around the city using a cell phone http://www.sleepyurbanite.com/

And lastly, I'll share a phone photo I took last night watching football. Yes, it is British beer mixed with American football. I like a little irony and good beer in my life. Unfortunately the beer wasn't good enough to make the Raider game enjoyable.
