00433 Beachbots

We went to the beach, what with it being summer and all and when we got there, there were already loads of tiny little people on the beach.

I say people, but they weren't really people.

They say they were people.

I still say the were'n't people.

They say no, really they were people.

I say no, I can see that they weren't people.

That's when the fight started.

and I stepped on all of them.

Some of them didn't bother.

Mind you, they weren't real people either:

yes we are

00432 And the drift goes on ...

Booooooom!'s (that just doesn't do it for me grammatically) "Little Drifters" season got me inspired to go out an pooh stick 'till I could pooh stick no more.

Don't know if I tried to hard this time (it's not like if I strain enough, they come out better), but at least it got me doing something a little more different.

They still sink when I sit on them.

00431 Little drifters

Booooooom! are (is) doing just what I'd hoped someone would do. It's invited people to make little boats, launch them, photograph them and sent in the images. Love the way Jeff has woven in the community approach to all this.

Here's the entrance guidelines.

They're also being published in the Vancouver Sun when they're good and ready, so I'll keep 'em peeled for that.

Booooooom! rules!

But also invites others to rule with it

00430 You can laugh now

I'll be the one who's laughing when the apocalypse comes and I gaze out from my space ship and watch you all as you burn:

I just need to get this shrinking ray working and then we're all stations go

00429 Plane to see

I give them away to children in the vain hope that they will last more than a minute



Which they never do

00428 The beautiful losers

Another triumph of ugly practicality and haste over grace, design and poise.

00427 Exit?

Could it be any worse?

I hope so, then there'll be more and better.
