Anglo-Finnish artist
Sanna Annukka's vibrant, flat design work (especially her
Icons series) got me curious about her, well, iconography.
She mentioned
The Kalevala previously, the Finnish national epic poem (
in Finnish here), a tale of creation and heroism that arguably spurred the Finns to independence from the Russians.
Like so much else epic and awesome, it spawned a '70s prog band, with
three albums.

MATSYS
Based on the idea that architecture can be understood as a material body with its own intrinsic and extrinsic forces relating to form, growth, and behavior, the studio investigates methodologies of performative integration through geometric and material differentiation.

Ellen Von Unwerth's Revenge, roughly 60 (out of 190) images from a louche, erotic book (
Salon review), recalling the Golden Age of Hollywood and Betty Page.
Other works from the insanely comprehensive site include:
Omahyra and Boyd, a glammy, androgynous romp through lite-fetish; and
"Erin Fetherworth," a video starring Kristen Dunst.
Be aware that most of her work involves glossy nude photography.

Sofa Portraits.
Colin Pantall takes photographs, primarily of his daughter watching television.
Lush imagery, sidelong comment, surprising intimacy.

Indiana's Sardina.
The New Pornographers of the '90s, the Sardinas released two fantastic albums full of mixtape fodder. Now everything they've got, including some live gems, is up online.

Who can count the ills visited upon modern society by women's suffrage?
Dr. John Lott would include government spending, taxation and social programs.
Lawrence Auster thinks that it's worth considering an end to the experiment of women's suffrage. (And is
mocked and
responds). Perhaps he'll find an ally in former senator
Kay O'Connor.
On some level, it's heartening to see conservatives conserving
100-year-old arguments.

Like checkers meets Blade Runner
, Quadradius is draughts with powerups Well, with no diagonal motion or jumping, but they're checker-shaped and "Parcheesi meets Neuromancer" didn't have that ring. Pretty sure it's flash.
