the seed pod cometh

r. j. has been collecting seed pods since who knows when and has amassed a collection ranging from your standard pine code to the martian-esque specimens. why? 'kernel' translated from german to english means 'kern', our last name (according to babelfish). which leads us to our pop quiz.

QUESTION: a 'kernel' is:

a) the central component of most computer operating systems
b) an atom stripped of all its valance electrons
c) a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat
d) the name of 'lilo & stitch's experiment 014, an experiment in the disney animated series 'lilo & stitch'
e) all of the above

ANSWER: "e) all of the above" (source: wikipedia)

inspiration for the project lies in the range of possibilities between the aforementioned extremes. true that, yo. so on with the developing seed pod project, item #20 in my 101 goals. the kernel's secret recipe is in the works and the test batches look like this:

illyarrie (eucalyptus erythrocorys)


bushy yate (eucalyptus lehmannii)


stay tuned for the completed series of 16 pods in all (to hang in an arrangement of 4 by 4). comment below and shape the destiny of the project!
