Do you want to buy Wayne Gretzky’s sweaty things? NOW YOU CAN.

The man behind the biggest collection of all things No. 99 is selling his prized memorabilia.

Insurance is a big reason. Collections such as Chaulk’s are hard to buy coverage for and the thought of a fire makes him blanch. Also, he’s already got most of the main Gretzky items likely to come on the market, so the thrill of the chase is getting rarer.

“There’s not a lot of chase left. It’s like I’ve gotten to the top of the mountain.

26 Faces in Everyday Objects

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:20:31 -0400

26 Faces in Everyday Objects:

Have you ever noticed how various objects and constructions look as if they’ve got faces – they are smiling, being angry or amazed. However, what some may call acuteness to detail is usually attributed to a psychological phenomenon, called pareidolia – that’s when a person perceives a …

Choice quotes from Col. Chris Hadfield during his news conference (paraphrased):

Thu, 16 May 2013 14:29:40 -0400

“On the ISS, when you have 30 seconds free, you go do something else!”

“It’s a whole new normal, my body was perfectly happy living in space… My body is catching up with the change.”

“We’re learning about the fundamental nature of matter because the ISS exists.”

“People followed me because there is poetry and purpose in what is happening on the ISS.”

“I’m not a person who looks back and wishes that my past was my present.”

“In the gym yesterday, it felt like someone was squeezing me down into the floor, felt like it was so unfair!”

“Zero gravity is like a superpower!”

“We are working hard to make the most out of the taxpayer’s dollar and make the ISS a fabric of the lives of Canadians.”

“I don’t have a callouses on the bottom of my feet yet, I’m walking around like an infant.”

“CSA’s Microflow tested to show how space tech can help remote communities with things like blood testing.”

“We’re also inspiring our youth to do something that barely seems possible.”

On his landing: “We could smell spring, the charred spacecraft, growing grass wafting through the open door.”

“In 2001, ISS was barely functional, only 1 lab, it was just getting going. The reason we put Canadarm2 on was to build ISS.”

“The number of people following is a measure of the number of people who shared the experience.”

“My advice: turn yourself into what you want to become step by step as a demonstration of personal will.”

On his favourite photo he took in space: “Most proud of the pic of the Sun over Indian ocean, noctilucent clouds, revealing how our upper atmosphere works.”

A PICTURE WALK THROUGH PHILADELPHIA’S MAGIC GARDENS

There’s nothing quite like Isaiah Zagar’s (award-winning mosaic mural artist) mosaic playground… last night I popped over to the Magic Gardens for Garden Sips - a great night out to support PMA’s annual Street Festival ART/GAGE: Celebrate Philly Creativity.

As the sun started going down, and the Garden lit up, I took the opportunity to take some great shots. Enjoy… And if you’re in Philly, make sure you stop by and experience the Gardens for yourself. Maybe even treat yourself to a Mosaic Mural Workshop with Isaiah himself.
