Wengenn in Wonderland

by Liz Heather in


California artist Queenie Liao took this series of photos - entitled Wengenn in Wonderland - that show her baby boy on magical adventures when he is sleeping and dreaming. She used “plain cloths, sheets, scarves, stuffed animals, and other common household materials to create the background settings” for Wengenn’s dreams. Can't even tell you how much I love this. I think the trapeze one is my favourite.  Click on the photo to see more.


Person To Follow - Mike Scully

by Liz Heather in


Sometimes Follow Fridays (#ff) ) aren't enough. Sometimes you need full posts devoted to endorsing good people to follow on Twitter. And if you are on Twitter, you should definitely be following Mike Scully.  

I first heard of him when he was the showrunner on The Simpsons and I listened to countless commentaries that he was apart of for the show. He's really funny and seemed crazy nice from those commentaries, so I added him and I'm so glad I did. Here are some of my favourites of his:


Unusual Articles on Wikipedia

by Liz Heather in


Have you heard of this already? I was told about it years ago by my friend Andrew, who only said, "Just go here. Spend a day." 

It's a listing of basically the weirdest/most-interesting-stuff-you've-never-heard-of-but-would-likely-be-intrigued-by on Wikipedia. There are a lot of sub sections, but the ones I enjoyed the most were probably:

  • Technology, inventions and products
  • Popular culture, entertainment and the arts
  • Food
  • Folklore
  • Law, law enforcement and crime

And some favourites?  

  • Acoustic Kitty: A failed CIA experiment at using a cat for covert surveillance.
  • Clocky: An alarm clock that hides from its owner (!) 
  • Capgras delusion: a disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, or other close family member has been replaced by an identical-looking impostor.
  • Mary Toft: An English woman who hoaxed doctors into believing that she had given birth to rabbits. 

Honestly, I still haven't gone over the whole document because there's just so much. So I have it bookmarked and go every once in awhile. Go here to see what I'm talking about.
