Until I got my camera jacked at a party because I was intoxicated and relatively inattentive, I took pictures everyday. Of everything. People always asked me why I wanted to take pictures of such mundane things, and I almost always replied, “It would make a nice desktop.” For instance, check out this picture of a rusted fire hydrant. The full resolution version (I had only a 3 megapixel camera at the time, I believe) makes for one of my favorite desktops ever.
Honestly, I spend so much time in front of my computer that it’s really important to me that it be a visually pleasant experience for me. So understandably, I was quite thrilled when I found this masterpiece, which now graces the altar of volume icons that is my desktop.
Epic or what? It seems this is a portrait prepared by Todd Lockwood for a World Of Warcraft card game. Something tells me we’ll never see it implemented.

If you are going to constantly post pictures of Steven Colbert I might have to stop coming here, I’m making at attempt to ban him from my life.
Well I wouldn’t necessarily call it “constantly,” what I intend to do.
May I inquire as to the nature of Mr. Colbert’s infraction to warrant his being banned from the illustrious halls of your mindshare?
i miss mocking your verbose, convoluted sentences.
Copy-pasted without shame.
“One sour note from the past month (aside from my car getting hit yet again) is that Mr. Stephen Colbert has decided not to reprise his role as Professor Impossible this season, for reasons which probably have something to do with him being all super-famous, super-busy, and no longer in need of a few hundred bucks here and there. We figured this would happen eventually, considering his monumental success in the years since our first season, but we held out hope that the WGA strike would leave him with enough bored free time on his hands that he’d have a go at it. But after getting shuffled around from his assistant to his assistant’s assistant to his agent to his manager, one of them finally shot us an email saying: “Stephen has neither the time nor the interest in participating in your project.”
Was the “nor the interest” really necessary? I would have bought the “time” part without question, but man…you gotta kick a guy when he’s down like that? Well maybe I’m not interested in your ice cream, mister! Or your book. Unless someone buys it for me for Christmas.”
O that is for the Venture Bros.
Well, just think of how long he had to pose for that portrait. It probably took several weeks wearing a catheter, after having had his face paralyzed in that obnoxious expression.
