Art: Christmas Tree of Books

Gleeson library in San Francisco made this nice Christmas tree last year. You check out more shots of the tree on Shawn Calhoun's Flickr Photostream. It makes me wish that I had a few more green books so that I could do this myself. One of these would look great in my living room.

Nothing says librophile like a Christmas Tree of Books.

Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year!

Poetry: "Nicholas Was..."

Motion graphics studio 39 Degrees North needed a Christmas card, so they turned to Neil Gaiman's poem, "Nicholas Was..." from the anthology Smoke and Mirrors into a short film. The result is a brief but powerful Christmas nightmare.

You can read the original poem on the author's website.
