My last memory of show and tell had me standing at the front of the class and talking about 70's rock sensation, Kiss, to the delight of my second grade teacher.

Today's installment is a bit of a stew from various sources - some interesting morsels to snack on as you cruise into the weekend...

Not to be outdone, Jim chips in with his own nominee for video of the week, "Muto"–the YouTube sensation is an oldie but goodie, and keeps the graffiti thread alive and well. The artist, Blu, has a sweet website and blog to catch-up on his efforts as he scribbles, sketches, animates and paints his way through the world. I may even pick up the Blu book myself:
