Tree Lobsters, crawling crustaceans of the forest canopy

December 19, 2008 – 11:32 pm

Verily, our humble planet is jam-and-even-jelly-packed with natural wonders, if one only looks to the skies and the seas, our own true final frontiers. Truly hath it been said that the mysteries they contain would send us gibbering back into the eternal darkness, if we dared to attempt understanding.
The most merciful thing in the world, [...]

December 17, 2008 – 12:21 pm

William Shatner sings to whales.
Don’t ask me. I just blog this stuff.

So, is that what you call a podcast?

Operation Recuperation: the raincoaster situation

October 7, 2008 – 2:37 am

I’m feeling better (well enough, in fact, to blog!) and thought I’d give my millions of devoted readers (both of you; did I mention I had two million readers? Well, two million people of whom one point seven came here looking for Beaver Shots and went away confused, which is something, anyway) some clue as [...]

Hurricane Ike is Yikes!

September 13, 2008 – 10:04 pm

Sorry, I’ve been writing gossip blogging headlines and am stuck in cheap pun mode. Still, LOOK at this thing:

The Last Days of the Tambo Mudflats

September 3, 2008 – 9:48 am

This is re-posted from the Multiply site. I know that this is a tragedy not only on ecological, but on sociological grounds as well; for every dollar a casino brings into a community it costs $1.60 in social services.

Large Hadron Rap

August 10, 2008 – 6:49 am

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this blog is rapidly becoming the world’s most concentrated source of really, really white rap videos.
Forget Vanilla Ice. Forget Snow.
I’m talking the Stephen Hawking Christmas Album. I’m talking Tea Partay. I’m talking White and Nerdy. I’m talking Death of a Fruitcake. I’m talking Ghost Whipping the Ride.
I’m talking Large Hadron Rap.

My kinda carpet!

June 29, 2008 – 10:15 am

How do I order wall-to-wall this?

Pretty sweet, eh? I bet you want that pattern for yourselves! Yes, this would be a big step up from my current carpeting pattern, a graphically similar arrangement of old Vanity Fair magazines.
That shot is part of an awesome series of shots of migrating cow-nosed rays (not the Steve Irwin-killing [...]

Killer Croc!

June 17, 2008 – 5:51 am

You may notice a theme here at the ol’ raincoaster blog; an aquatic, perhaps even amphibious theme: water monsters. And in the pantheon of water monsters, Gustave the Killer Croc ranks very high indeed.
Gustave is just your average Burundian crocodile. He minds his own business, he keeps to himself, he weighs over a ton, he’s [...]

Big Black Balls

June 11, 2008 – 2:32 pm

Do you like big, bouncing, black balls, all glistening wet and tumbling all over one another? Thousands and thousands of big, bouncing, black balls? Well, have we got some hawt pix for you!

Yes, 400,000 big black balls, bouncing all over one another in the bright sunlight. Don’t say we don’t come through on our promises [...]
