The display in Bloomingdale's in New York, sent to me by a friend.



Thanks, Amanda G!

Alien Tentacles

I've written about Dark Roasted Blend's report of the mimic octopus before, but they included too many new and nifty photos of weird octopi for me to ignore. The piece is entitled "Cephalopods rom Outer Space," and, well. wow. Here's a sample image, click through to the link for more tantalizing tentacles.

Crafty Tentacles

Two tentacle projects from the Craftzine Blog: A Squid cake and a knitted octopus.




Squid Cake here, Knitted Octopus here. Thanks to Polina for finding these cuddly and tasty tentacles!

Non Newtonian Tentacles

The essential Laughing Squid has all kinds of tentacle appropriate content. Check out what happens to everyone's favorite cornstarch and water colloid, otherwise known as Oobleck, on top of a subwoofer of sorts. Hint: It appears to grow tentacles.

Watch our new cornstarch tentacle overlords here at Laughing Squid.

And here's a glossy photo of some oobleck out at Burning Man, at my theme camp that goes by the same name.


Photo from Loupiote's Flickr and thanks to Walter (a fellow Ooblecker) for pointing out the Laughing Squid link.

Superbowl Tentacles

Hulu.com presented a rather amusing ad, featuring Alec Baldwin as an alien.

It's a good ad, but the kicker comes at the end, when Baldwin reveals his SECRET ALIEN TENTACLES. I'm so thrilled.


Ads are rather proprietary, so I can't embed it for you. Check out the entire ad on Youtube.

Still from the ad via SlashFilm.

Inaugural Tentacles

From an artsy inaugural party that I attended on January 19, the eve of Hope and Change.
