I have a huge scotch pine in my front yard, taller than the house and wide like an entire family of fraccy arses. It, like people, has a ...

Tu boca es espiral de Pecker

Jeff Bark: Woodpecker
2007-12-19 04:28:00 Woodpecker, Jeff Bark's newest works are the subject of his solo show at Michael Hoppen Contemporary Gallery in London through 11 January 2007, his second show at the locale. Every aspect of Woodpecker, photographer Jeff Bark's newest works, is so multilayered, it makes my brain hurt—in the best way possible. The photos themselves fall between a diorama, painting and film. His involved process includes constructing a pond-like set that took over a month to build in his Brooklyn studio. He fabricated a pool, brought in battered truck and created a faux forest. The upshot is a group heavily symbolic photos in a rural setting rife with loneliness, despondence and introspection. Manufactured moonlit tones only add to this effect. Take a closer look and you'll see that the subjects are actually in urban setting—tipped off by urban litter such as a fence, crates and even a car. Look even more closely and you'll see that the subjects desolate looks might be the result of wh...

Kurashiki Brothel: "Night Pecker"
2007-09-27 06:12:00 While in the Okayama town of Kurashiki to see a bit of culture--the town is best-known for its preserved historic area and museums and a Danish theme park--we also were fortunate to stumble past a wonderfully named brothel: the "Night Pecker."After a day at the Ohara Museum, strolling through the exquisitely preserved "Bikan Chiku" (loosely translated: beautiful area), and dining on some of the fish that the area is justly famous for, we stepped out of the izakaya and, lo and behold, saw Woody the Woodpecker seated atop a crescent moon.Woody was the theme character of the brothel. A passing drunk who noticed us staring at the sign told us "that bird must have escaped from Tivoli Park, and has been sitting up there with that dumb smile on his face ever since." At which he guffawed. "Service must be good, he's been there for months!" More laughter as he tottered down the street. The tout in front of Night Pecker ignored us and the drunk, scanning the street for customers.The theme pa...
Artistic wall woodpeckers pieces of chopping the Chinese Firewall
2007-09-04 11:58:00 This left demonstrates, how can be technically expenditure-cheated simply national censorship measures.Two Swiss artists developed a system with the name Picidae, which represents web pages as Screenshots, which cannot be blocked by at present usual (usually national) Web filters. Fundamental functionalities (clickable left, form inputs) remain.Own tests of different sides were very positive. This technology seems to work really well.From the idea this project is outstanding suitable to make for for example Chinese Internetsurfern possible the access to sides closed for it.Thereby the concept, which gets along without central server, is particularly pfiffig and therefore is only very with difficulty seizable.Naturally it will give means also here sometime to close this system however thereby also the expenditure which the supervisors must drive, rises.With 3sat.online there is a detailed report in addition.(via)

Our woodpecker - at last
2007-05-29 12:48:00 Well this is the best I could do - the woodpeckers (there are 2 of them it turns out) are rather shy and the merest zoom of a lens send them flying back down the valley to the wood.Here he is caught pecking at the monkey nuts hanging from one of our plant supports in the border.These nut rings have been brilliant - they last for ages as the birds have to work to get their food.

Woodpecker Time
2007-02-06 01:17:00 The Tall One is still not feeling well, so she stayed home today, even though it's the first day of her routine and she should be leaving early. She says the place she goes to is called work, but I don't really believe her. Her job is to take care of me, that's the only work she should be concerned about. Anyway, that place will have to do without her today, because I can tell she is still miserable. She coughs and sneezes a lot, and she is really tired. For Miss Prissy and me, that's a good thing, because it means that the cage door is open whenever the Tall One is awake and on the soft thing she calls a couch. I took the opportunity to climb behind the cage. At first, I ripped up all the newspaper the Tall One had placed underneath the cage. Once it was all gone, I did not really know what to do, because all that was left was the wooden cabinet our cage sits on, but then I started tapping it with my beak. It was a lot of fun, because it sounded hollow and made a lot of noise. ...

This is just sick: Rare woodpecker sends town running for it
2006-09-24 15:06:03 … no, I’m not talking about Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. I’m talking about Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers. As told in today’s NY Times, this endangered species, which was once abundant in the vast longleaf pine forests that stretched from New Jersey to Florida, but now numbers as few as 15,000. Now, in a small NC town, the threat of reduced exploitation of property values has induced a rash of clear-cutting of prime habitat. BOILING SPRING LAKES, N.C., Sept. 23 (AP) ? Over the past six months, landowners here have been clear-cutting thousands of trees to keep them from becoming homes for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. This particular town should be ashamed of itself.

The Woodpecker Tree
2006-08-29 20:00:07 It’s very interesting to see how the vegetation of a backyard effects what birds you see there, and their behavior. In the case of woodpeckers, a specific tree will sometimes be particularly appealing to a few species, either because it is inhabited by tasty insects, or because a protein-rich fruit is ripening. I have the latter case right now - with a rather large Staghorn Sumac (they only grow up to about 15ft tall, and they’re very common around this area), that has a plethora of sizable cone-like berry clusters growing vertically, that has attracted at least one of each: Red-bellied, Hairy, Downy, and now Pileated Woodpeckers. The Pileated was of course especially cool, simply because of their size and the bright red crests that the males have. My girlfriend was able to snap a great picture of it through the window (below the fold), that I thought I’d share.
