Giant wall art

While surfing the web I came across this interesting program. http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/
The program allows you to take an image and format it to be printed on many pieces of paper to create wall sized art.
How cool is that?

The gallery page needs a bit of work, it's hard to see the images people have done, but you get the idea.

So I'm going to cover a wall with the following image just in case some pesky coyote starts chasing me then I can run down the tunnel to escape but if he tries, he will either run into the wall or get nailed by a train.

Of course I'll have to print it at work when no one is looking.

JPG magazine is holding a contest for the coolest rasterbator photo. Rules state you must have taken the original photo that you rasterbate. Check it out http://www.jpgmag.com/themes/19

What's in a name?

I use squirrelsoup as my online moniker for almost everything I do. Often people ask me "squirrelsoup? where the hell did you come up with that?". So I am now going to explain where squirrelsoup came from. Many years ago when my great grandmother was living in Poland during the second World War, there was often a shortage on food, especially meat. So people had to make due with what they had around them. One thing my grandmothers family would have was, yes you guessed it squirrel soup. My Grandmother brought this recipe over with her from Poland, but here the squirrel was replaced with salted pork. Below you can find the original recipe.


2 Cut up squirrels
¼ cup Chopped onion
3 tablespoon Margarine
½ cup Diced celery
½ cup Diced potatoes
1 teaspoon Salt
½ cup Sliced carrots
⅛ teaspoon Pepper
3 tablespoon Flour
3 cup Water
¼ cup Water

Brown the pieces in the bottom of a pan with margarine. Then cover with 3 cups water. Season only with salt and pepper so as to maintain the distinctive natural flavor. Simmer 1 hour. Add onion, celery and carrots.

Thicken with a smooth paste of flour and 1/4 cup water. Cook an additional 15 minutes.

If you believe this story then I have a bridge to sell you. I just thought of the name one day and it made me laugh.

It's a start

Ya I know this place is a mess but I'm re-decorating. So for my first post I'm just going to start with a funny video. This is Brendan Shanahan making fun of the Ottawa Senator's players who always do interviews on exercise bikes.
