theBEDLAMITE

So I walked to office depot Friday, and came across all this cool stuff downtown. The first was that Seattle, has at last caught on to the artistic possibility of the electrical box, I’ve found another since this shot.

1st and Stewart St

And then after that, I found these wonderful giant Daisies in Westlake Center, apparently sponsored by Prius, they are Solar WiFi stations, complete with plug-ins and everything.

AND THEN, on the walk back I discovered these lovely new Solar Trash Compactors around Macy’s

Opportunity Spies Unusual Rock — Large Meteorite?

FROM UNIVERSE TODAY> The Opportunity rover has come across an odd-shaped, large, dark rock, about 0.6 meters (2 feet) across on the surface of Mars, which may be a meteorite. The rover team spotted the rock called “Block Island,” on July 18, 2009, in the opposite direction from which it was driving. The team then had the rover do a hard right (not really, but you know what I mean) and backtrack some 250 meters (820 feet) to study it closer. Oppy has been studying the rock with its alpha particle X-ray spectrometer to get composition measurements and to confirm if indeed it is a meteorite. MORE>TheLink
