The slow but deeply satisfying gravity action of the Drip Printer, developed by Ted Kinsman at Rochester (NY) Institute of Technology’s College of Imaging Arts & Sciences.
The device prints one drop per second of anything from boring old ink to coffee, red wine or whatever you like, with adjustable drop density for halftones.

A good friend of mine documented for a book project the last few years of Pat Tierney’s life. Pat was poet from Grafton St in the 90s, he established the Ballymun Rhymers Club and several community projects with the Dublin Aids Alliance. Pat, who had Aids, took his own life in 1996 aged 39,, and at the time my friend never got around to showing the photos. Last month he scanned his old negatives, some strong but excellent images [More images and Pat biog at link below].

A rather charming ad for the Woolmark company by Australian design house Buck. To wit:
Wool. Merino Wool. Soft, cuddly, odour-resistant, warm, light, moisture-managing wool. The best natural fibre, baa none.

A cracked traffic light on the junction of Blarney Street and Shanakiel Road [Cork] is casting an eerie glow onto the face of Christ on the cross at the adjacent grotto.
Believed to have appeared on the weekend of Corpus Christi, the site has now attracted people to pray there after dark, when the light is most prominent.
‘Local man Terry’ said:
“The light crosses the road, goes up at a 45 degree angle. It starts out as a pin and then it gets bigger like a projector and shines up onto the cross. It picks out only the figure on the cross.”

Any good reason for two ambulances in hotel car park for two days? Seems totally bizarre… Possible that it’s for training and both are on call, seems a bit daft though…
Anyone?
Meanwhile…

The Evening Standard reports:
The two camps in the EU referendum battle met today in a bizarre clash on the Thames on board a propaganda flotilla.
Sir Bob Geldof boarded a boat on the Thames to oppose Nigel Farage’s pro-Brexit flotilla, which was making its way up the Thames towards parliament.
The flotilla, of up to 35 boats, had been organised by Scottish skippers as part of the Fishing for Leave campaign.
The Boomtown rats star blasted out songs including Chicago’s “If you leave me now”, while the Leave boats retaliated by firing water from a hose at Geldof’s vessel.
FIGHT!
