With a permanent livejournal account, and a twitter account, a whole slew of domain names of my own, and the technical savvy to pound out a blogging system from scratch in a couple of minutes, do I really need another one of these?

 

Apparently so.

Extreme Geology: The Giant’s Causeway, Ireland and Staffa, Scotland
→ Credit for photos: one, two, and three.

These amazing basalt columns cane be found on Staffa, Scotland, and Giant’s Causeway in Nothern Ireland. These geological structures formed from volcanic activity over 50 mya where the slow cooling of basalt creates the hexagonal columns you see today. The process which creates such stunning hexagonal columns is called “columnar jointing”; a process where the basalt rapidly cools from the outside towards the centre, causing it to contract and form these structures.

Moss. Graffiti. I am utterly charmed. Via jillthompson: Unlike spray paint, moss graffiti is all natural and healthy to work with. You can paint words or images, and the moss fills in like magic! It’s easy as pie to whip up a batch of moss paint.



Here’s how, in your blender, combine:
One can of cheap beer or 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
A few handfuls of moss
One teaspoon of sugar
Blend until the mixture is smooth, and you’re ready to get painting!  You can use a brush to paint your moss onto concrete walls, rocks, or brick. Mist the moss once a day to help it thrive, and soon your green graffiti will take hold! If you’re looking to take this project to the streets, use caution- we don’t want to be responsible for any vandalism charges!

You know what? I know I brought this up, but I don’t really want to talk about it anymore. I… don’t ask me to explain the honey badger’s motivations, okay? I’m the victim here.
