Joe is an engineer. Joe is a good photographer. I told Joe that he should build a gigapixel picture for his girlfriend for Christmas.

The interesting thing about tawbaware.com is not only that this person build a gigapixel picture (think of a 1000 megapixel camera), but that the resolution of the resulting clarity of the picture is better than the human eye can detect on its own.

If anyone has any ideas on this, I’m open. And I’ve reserved giganudes.com for our um projects.

My sister and parents returned from Barcelona. My parents saw architecture and pubs, while my sister saw poop.

My sister brought back stories of the Caga-tio (Spanish for “Uncle Shit,” which I actually had to confirm, as it seems too odd to be real). The Caga-tio is a log with two legs and a face on it. Before Christmas, the children of Barcelona put a blanket over it, and “feed” it. On Christmas, the kids beat the thing with sticks while singing for the Caga-tio to shit presents for them, lest they beat it more.

The Caganer is an extra figurine included in the back of Nativity scenes in Barcelona. My sister somehow remembered to look for it and confirmed that it indeed exists. What’s the big deal about an extra figure? The caganer is a figurine squatting down with his pants around his ankles dropping a deuce.
