a couple more wonders before countdown


tsé & tsé associeés have THE most magical website. catherine lévy and sigolène prébois!! my heroines! go there and follow the fireflies.

be patient with all the secret contraptions and you'll be very rewarded. be sure to check their links page and click on all the light bulbs to hear the harry partch-esque music.


go here to read three layer cake's interview with them. here is a sample question from it:

How do you set your professional goals together?
We never have. Our goal is to be happy, have fun, and make enough money to live. When we look at where we are and think that we have managed to make a living doing what we love, we still think it’s a miracle.

don't you love them already?






when you've finished exploring there, you can go to the gallery of obscure patents at delphion. there you'll find instructions for:




the transparent color-coded intravenous tubing invention,







the self-containing enclosure for protection from killer bees,







and the highly impractical round chessboard.

i'll leave the rest for you to be surprised by.


happy 2007.
