I’m not a huge Porsche guy but the 993 is one of the few collector cars that I think is truly worth every penny.

1990s white Porsche 911 convertibl. Behind is a colonnade out to a desert palm scene

Wish I had a better camera on me when I saw this

He exists very easily in the Southland Tales dimension.

I’m an enjoyer of carchitecture from time to time but I don’t think there is any scene that a late-model ford explorer works in

Qbert hopped so these games could bop

I can’t believe (can believe) he wore his chef shirt thing

For some reason I think about this movie a lot

So like do you think Peter Thiel has watched any popular filmed entertainment of the past 40 years or no.

The greatest sin is everyone making me try and read that dark red text on black

The plants here in LA though sure are gorgeous

Sure are a lot of cars and trucks that live here!

I’m back home after being in Finland for a week and yeah it’s definitely a rude awaking (even beyond the fresh evils)

This is so sad. I was part of an Earthwatch group in high school doing paleontology and entomology in Big Bend. We took a small boat ferry across the river multiple times to visit the town of Santa Elena. We also swam across. Hearbreaking.

Thank you for this.. this is so sad to hear. I was incredibly fortunate to be a part of an Earthwatch group in high school doing paleontology and entomology in Big Bend. We took a small boat ferry across the river multiple times to visit the town of Santa Elena. We also swam across.

Forest-fantasy stone with trolls and bears

1930s moderne streamline

Proto -streamline deco with statue figures over entryway with almost glass bricks

Union Station Los Angeles… jk it’s inside the 1910s Helsinki train station by Saarinen. Big arched glass window wall into a vaultedrestaurant space

(Entry)ways of Helsinki

Oof that is rough

Different doors with doorways cutting into the protruding facade

Pink art nouveau with green copper torch-like lanterns

Heavily rusticated brownstone entryways set against grey yellow stucco

Another hard to describe one.. Eagle-like?

Doorways of Helsinki 3

Amazing art nouveau doorway with simple rounded forms evoking streamline moderne

Hard to describe.. green 22 trapezoidal

Abstracted wing-like surround for a beautiful wooden door. Golden 21

Looks like Santa Claus’s door. Bronze surrounded by heavy stone

Doorways of Helsinki 2

Helsinki cathedral reflected in a wooden door with geometric lions

Decorated entryway with big gilded circle with a light red 23

Gothic amber glass and wood

Art nouveau entryway design like abstracted wings

Doorways of Helsinki

A brightly-lit stick figure is approached by a person wearing a large coat and small red lights on their head. In the forest at night

Light/performance art in the forest of Pikisaari Island in Oulu, Finland:

I’ve been calling it the “Finnish Chonk.” Absolute Units abound.

Helsinki station, 1919, (designed 1909). Two large art deco-like figures with strong jaws holding lantern globes. Brick and green copper

Steam from a factory lit up at night behind a silhouette of trees as seen from across a frozen body of water

An old blue wooden building covered in snow on a bright blue clear morning

A large imposing brown and red apartment block in the inexplicable Finnish Jugend style. Red domes on top. Random balconies.

Hei from Finland! Some glimpses from the past few days.

And yeah I’ve only seen the outside of Pompidou since I didn’t have enough time while I was on a similarish layover. I really need to do a proper Paris trip!

Thanks but it was just a quick detour since I had a really long layover. I had never been to montmartre so I just took the train over, climbed up to the top, sat and took in the view and then headed back to CDG ha!

Hexagonal funicular ascending montmartre hill

Also, the cyberfunicular rules

It’s one of those rare touristy destinations that’s also incredible to hang out in.

Montrmartre cathedral hill on a beautiful sunny winter day

I’d never been here until today. Not that I doubted but now I get it. What a great place.

1990s video game style cartoon alligators sleeping at desks in an office. The floor is flooded

Obligatory post of one of my favorite public art pieces. Sleepy (Meriem Bennani, 2021). If you go up close to it the alligators wake up.

An image of the pylons and a statue of the artist wearing a flat screen standing on a “you are here “ doormat

Flourescent color wheel and manual diagrams in highlighter to design the lighting programs 25+ years ago

Another image and a video with the artist

A prototype color-changing LED element

There’s an awesome exhibit at LAX TBIT in the tunnel connecting the two sides about the LED entrance pylons (2000, artist Paul Tzanetopoulos).
