Webfound: Monikers; Personalized Calendars, Sort Of…


One man’s pursuit of the perfect sign name can now be the perfect gift for the “guy who has it all”. Do you know a Bill, Bob, Chuck, Dave, Dick, Jim, Joe, John, Mark, Mike or Tom with some wall space? Then a 2009 Calendar could be your answer to an endless search for something special.

According to the Monikers website “These photos are the result of over 145,000 miles in a rusty minivan looking for a sign. Now, they are unique gifts.”

The fun does not stop at the monthly picture though. Oh, nelly, no. Each month features 1 main picture (example: Bob) as well as the locations of the photos. Also, more than 50 intriguing, whimsical and literate “Bob” trivia are highlighted on the appropriate dates throughout the year (example: October 31: Bob for apples). And many have footnotes.

What an interesting concept. Don't ask how I stumbled upon this one! Now, if only the artist had more obscure names available…because for an inconceivably brief moment, and perhaps also for the only time in history, I wished I was a "Chuck".

WebFound: Water Blog

For those of you that truly know me, you know that I am always sincere in my attempts to share new things with my friends and family. I have been known to burn CD compilations, send magazine articles through the mail, email pictures I have found on the web and, especially, send out links to websites I have stumbled upon.

That’s exactly what I intend to do with this post, and if popular, I may continue to do so on occasion.

The following links are from another blog called SeawayBlog. Here is their description, as found on the main page:

SeawayBlog is everything about the sea and water; Photo, Video, Art, News, Humour, Sport, Travel, Web. In just three words: World Wide Water”

This is a very unique idea for a website. The following links are worth taking a peek at:

Click here for professional pictures taken from Beijing Olympic events (water events, of course!)

Here for Olympic sailing in Qingdao

Opening ceremony pics can be found here

Here for pics from the water cube, including some of Michael Phelps.

And my personal favorite:

This is what it looks like when thousands of sea rays are flying under your boat! This find was worth sharing!

Enjoy, and feel free to share your finds with me. I am always up for a new path to walk down and I might post them here.
