More random things about me –
During a wander on the web I came across these terrific tattoos, and the book in which they are described, and the author. The book is Science Ink and the author is Carl Zimmer. Zimmer is a renowned and prolific author of books, articles and The Loom, a blog hosted by Discover Magazine.
Tattoos are fascinating to me – running the gamut from “why would anyone do that?” to “oh, look, that is really cool.” As a science geek, I find the tattoos in the book to be wonderful expressions of creativity by their “science obsessed” owners. I liked the story about the woman who works with squids and, ostensibly to help her remember squid anatomy, had one tattooed on her foot and ankle. I am not sure about using it as an aide-memoire, but it is a very cool tattoo of a squid on her foot and ankle.
It also makes me wonder what kinds of tattoos other occupations would inspire. What would an accountant’s tattoo look like?
To see more, go buy the book. I did.

This is Commander Samuel Vimes helping me sew. I am piecing a quilt (I’ll show it to you later) and it is apparently just irresistible to Sammy.
Bacon, bacon, bacon.
This morning my colleague came to me with a warm, Hungarian bacon biscuit on a plate. Did I mention it was warm? Did I say it contained bacon (and happiness)?
Here is a photo – I turned it around so that you could not see the bite I took out of it.

Firearms, fibers, any news or behaviors that make me say, "hmm, let me take another look at this."
