Interesting poem book, and collected ecological sounds

Cool things I’ve found recently and had to share:

Lauren Haldeman‘s site has great tips on webcomic creation, but the neat “little bitty videos” she creates to describe parts of her book are fantastic. Here is one:

Many people have created books of varying quality, but I can tell hers is a keeper. I love her explanation:

Calenday is a book of poems that you can read! I wrote it with my mind and my hands. It is mostly about blueprints, ghosts, parents & children, but it is also about data-syncing, animals showing love, the unseen world, sycamores…

How cool is that? 

Acoustic Ecology has a great list of interesting recordings that give you a great feel of the soundscape of certain places. Listening to the “Open Sound New Orleans” project, a pizza delivery guy describes a night where he opened the door to find his payment in… a cat’s mouth. Awesome.
Browsing the tagged map from “Listen to Africa”, I heard the Yellow-casqued Hornbill and later, the staccato sound of flip flops on a trail.

And here is a simple drawing of pointy mountains:
