Hello! Today I am captivated by Dale Bigford’s creation, Immortality for Sale. There are 20 lots of handmade props, each with a story behind it (here's the first one, for example)!
For those of you not so much into the spooky, fear not: It’s also World Penguin Day!

What’s the birdcast for tonight? If you’re in the United States, find out with the help of real time migration maps!
Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi, the Louvre has created a roadside art gallery, with the help of local radio stations.
Tedium takes you through the history of the robotic arm.
Retronaut has returned! (It never really went away. It’s a long story.)

Happy Shakespeare Day (and Monday)!
A David Bowie installation is now in a NYC subway station. Go check it out if you’re in the area.
Mondo Mascots is one of the best Twitter accounts out there. Now there’s an article on the man behind all the crazy photos!

Happy Friday!
Janelle Monae is awesome. This is an unarguable fact. Here’s a NY Times article about her which also includes several of her videos!
Want better acoustics in your home/studio/gallery? Why not bury a horse skull under the floor? Seriously, that’s what was done back in the day, and it worked. From this same link, I found David Byrne’s “Playing the Building,” which is super cool.
Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. See you next week.

What’s it like to go into an Amazon bookstore – a real, brick and mortar Amazon bookstore? Chuck Wendig has investigated and reported on his findings!
Curator John Overholt does a daily roundup of special collections images on Twitter, such as this one. It'sa great idea.
I know it’s Squirrel Week, but take a moment to consider participating in MuttMix, where you try to identify which breeds are in a dog. It’s for science, it's free, and you don’t have to be a dog breed connoisseur to take part!
Chrome has a lot of hidden (and surprisingly useful) bells and whistles. I didn't know many of these, so I'm spreading the word.

An update from yesterday’s post: The angry badger has left the castle. Its demands, and (dis)satisfaction thereof, were not made public.
Britain From Above shows a panorama of 20th century Britain as seen from the air. (No word as to whether any badgers are in the photos.)
New York City stopped building subway systems in the 1940s. What’s up with that? Citylab investigates.
Archaeologists have found the skeleton of a medieval man who not only survived an amputation, he even sported a knife as a prosthesis. You go, medieval knifehand man.

It is Squirrel Week! How well do you know squirrels? (I, apparently, do not know squirrels well, even though I thought I had learned a lot during March Mammal Madness. Back to the books!)
In probably unrelated news, an angry badger has shut down part of a Scottish castle. Best line: “There was no indication as to why it was angry.” (Perhaps it’s upset there is no Badger Week?)
UPDATE: There is indeed a Badger Week, and it's Scottish Badger Week, at that! Calm down, angry badger, you'll have your time in the spotlight next month.
