There are bits of snow but it’s not cold in the day. I managed a bit of sun burn actually, pretty exciting compared with London grey! It’s nippy at night if you camp up on a hill but lots of fun camping out. I’m pretty knackered from pottering about in the woods for a few days, but i’ve spent about 4 days now in a town eating, drinking and sleeping. I might have a go on the next section, but we’ll see how it goes. I might skip down to the next town and let Cookie and Paul do the walking

No blisters yet - not been going very fast! Just a bit sore in places and out of breath ;D Those boys are pretty fit you know! Even when they’re going easy. I can’t imagine being able to do 10 miles a day up here never mind the 25 they do with those huge packs on! They’ve evolved into a new super species. Or maybe it’s us pasties sitting at computers all day that have de-volved into a sub species Makes you realise what you could be if you put your mind to it though.

Cookie and Paul are going round Rocky Mountain National Park today while i have a lazy day in bed. Feels like a luxury after the tent! Been playing lots of pool, bowling, and crazy golf too.

See ya laters! Check out pictures of me looking really really rough and very tired here…

Although i did cheat a bit in the form of hitching

I’ve walked on grass, snow, through mud, bogs, and icey rivers. There were some cute chipminks too. See you soon! Nicky x

Some famous faces get the money shot treatment over at Fubiz. Original photoshop competition on at Freaking News including Al Pachino and Mel Gibson. The Charlton Heston one is a great shot, but Queen and The Queen is all together inspired

These typographic hedges can be seen here Photos by Andrew Budge. Would be nice to have giant ones in your garden to create a typography maze. I love mazes. I think there’s something in that idea!

Rare shots of monsters caught on camera through the ages. Collection by Relleno De Mono.

The Bank of All My Mates, found via the Money Shots pool. There’s loads in there. Some of the are spot on

These doods are amazing - the little conjoined buddies at the top complete with beard and cap. The littlest one has got a right cheeky grin on. And that pile of wiggley worms must have taken Nina forever to make. That’s a lot of stuffin’ ! A nice article and more onfo on Ninas’s work over at Helium Cowboy. Nina’s own site here. The knotted one reminds me of the Knotted Happy Snakes, Cookie and I made for Knotty and Mrs.Knotty when they got married : D

Wow there’s an amazing array of robot technologies on show over at Time. A wine tasting robot, football playing robot, a rubik’s cube solving robot, dancers, weight lifters, camel ridding jockey robots (yes!), violinists, conversationalists, and super dexterous robot hands, surgical microbots that work inside your body, and last but not least Robo Parrot! Brilliant. Where can i buy mine ? I want a robot that can tell good jokes, make good margaritas, and maybe fury in texture rather than shiny.

( Well until Cookie comes home that is! ).

Nice pen skills on various materials. Good stuff from Sean Portfolio site and Blog.

Have a go with this cute little number. It works in a way i’ve never seen done.
There’s an interesting subversion of regular ad space, to make part of the game - the game that’s really an ad that is … Where’s the line between selling you fun so you’ll buy a product, or selling you a product so you can have fun .. ? The idea spans multi urls but in a super simple way. I’m into that idea at the moment as you can probably tell by all these balloons floating around!
