Lars Holdhus has an odd fascination with Christmas sweaters and he’s asking for you to send your unwanted Christmas sweaters in to him so that he can photograph himself wearing it. So far, he’s amassed quite a collection of Christmas sweaters.

My friend Melanie came back from Iraq after serving a long time in the US Army and showed me this funny image of a military vehicle dressed as a reindeer for Christmas. I love how the tongue is sticking out on this vehicle. Makes me laugh just looking at it!

Dry Christmas trees burn like mad

January 2, 2009 @ 1:19 am

Christmas has passed already, but knowing the habits of some folks, they’ll probably keep their Christmas trees for another few weeks before tossing them out. If that’s the case, then you better make sure you water it because if you don’t and it somehow catches on fire, you can pretty much kiss your house goodbye.

As seen in this demonstration video from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a dry Christmas tree can be utterly devastating for any house corner as it will quickly spread fire and black smoke. At one point it looks like the flames are being shot out of a flame thrower!

Here’s another video of a dry Christmas tree fire compared to a Christmas tree on fire that has been fed water. Incredible how intense those flames are on both trees.

I guess it really pays to keep an Amazon.com wishlist (and also a website) because this Christmas I’ve been getting lots of wonderful books as gifts! The Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne book above comes courtesy of Florence who realized that this book was the ideal gift because it features two of my favorite topics: Melbourne and street art!

Thanks Flo! This is awesome! I’ll definitely need to find some time to sit down at a cafe and just read this whole thing from beginning to end.
