I saw the cover of the latest issue of wired, and had to pick it up. Turns out there’s a very interesting article on the emergence of synthetic diamonds— that is, diamonds that are grown in a lab, but are physically and chemically indistinguishable from diamonds that are mined.

While perusing a site about the Illegal Art exhibition (think a Mickey Mouse gas mask, an alphabet made from corporate logo letters, and a “Corporate Whore” parody of the Starbucks logo), I discovered one of the contributing artists, Threadgill, who creates some incredible artwork… very clean and clever, and reminds me in a way of another of my favorite artists, Shag.

What will I be driving now, you ask? Well, I’m finally taking over the car I “inherited” from my great uncle late last year: a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback. This one’s an automatic (the Saturn was a 5-speed manual), so even my wife can drive it! Huzzah!

Just another day of cleaning and watching my eBay auctions go down in value because some asshat retracted his bid… Yep.
