Arborsculpture, because bansai is so last week… Been looking for the illest trees?
This dude got the illest trees!
Arborsculpture is the art of shaping tree trunks and branches into structures, either with ornamental or functional utility. The table and chair set above are too dope.
Cabinet has an interview with Abrorsculptor Richard Reams, who shapes trees into furniture in sculpture in his home of Oregon and around the world. The interview is great and the pictures are unbelievable.

Ann Coulter: Bill Clinton is Gay! What’s That Ninja Got to Say For Himself?
Just when you thought you’d heard all there was to hear about big ninja Billy, Ann Coulter came out and said he "displays some signs of latent homosexuality." Ahahaha! Now, whether or not he is (I think we can all draw our own conclusions), this video response from David Letterman is tooo funny.

Send Secret Messages in SPAM E-Mail!
New technology for modern-day ninjas:
This website allows you to enter a message and will then encode it in the form of a spam e-mail. Once received, it can be plugged back into the back and decoded. An interesting tyoe of veiled encryption…
Explanation from Spam Mimic:
"There are terrific tools (like PGP and GPG) for encrypting your mail. If somebody along the way looks at the mail they can’t understand it. But they do know you are sending encrypted mail to your pal.
The answer: encode your message into something innocent looking.
Your messages will be safe and nobody will know they’re encrypted!"

Keepin’ it way too real!
So, here’s the shocker: none of these are actual photogaphs, they were all created digitally with vectors.AA This means each of the ninja artists responsible for the creation of these images first made 3D models using vectors, and then applied the textures and shading effects to make these pictures become realer than real.AA And you thought you were a ninja! Please!
The article has a lot of amazing pictures from a variety of artists.

For some reason I like this video… not quite sure why

YouTube joins Flickr and Boing Boing on the "banned in Dubai" list.
Popular video sharing site YouTube is now banned in Dubai. Boing Boing has been banned in several countries including Dubai and the United Arab Emirates for several months. One anonymous Boing Boing reader in the UAE sent Boing Boing this letter:
"And its finally happened… I knew the day was not far…. :(The sole ISP in this country, which happens to be owned by the government has blocked boingboing.net Apparently boingboing is disseminating information that is " inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates. " See attached/hotlinked screenshot.
Please email me so if you post this on boingboing, so I can VPN to the office back home and read about this on boingboing… Till then I guess am stuck with fark.com which am sure is next. :(
PS - Please remove all personally identifiable information from the screenshot, cause I don’t want to end up in jail. Yes they do put people in jail for attempting/bypassing their proxy."
When you try to visit one of these sites, you see the message below or something similar:

My Ninja Please! 7/28/06: Genetically Engineer’d Ninjas
Using a technique originated in the Wu-Shan province…
Actually no, we have absolutely nothing to do with this. This site claims that through the use of all-natural drugs they are able to induce a woman’s body to produce a child with the sex of her choice (or that of the overarching warlord of her village). My Ninja, Please! If this was possible through a pill it prolly woulda been done (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). Just 500 beans a month and you can have that hemaphrodite you’ve been waiting for. Yes, $500.

I know you’ve been wondering where ninjas of the future will chill…
Well Joe Nishizawa‘s got you covered. His photos are all 100% real places (yes, on this Earth). He takes photos in underground areas of Japan, and they are ridiculous. Breathtaking. Words just cannot describe them.
PingMag has a great article with him. Definitely check it out, because Nishizawa-san has a lot of extremely interesting stuff to say about being underground (strictly underground, ninjas and ninjettes) and photography in general. His site also has a few galleries of stunning images for us to revel in. Go peep.
