Ok, it's time for a few random links:

- "Eatyourdamnpeas," a regular poster on Welcome to Blog, spent the summer of 2004 touring the wilds of Eurasia. He started in China and worked his west all the way to Chicago. He just posted a gallery of photos from the journey. This shot, of a statue in Beijing, is pretty mesmerizing.

- The local blog "Oh Dog, You Slueth" continues to confound its audience with photos of Portland's weirdest businesses. These shots of Keana's Candyland, a candy shop inside a renovated house in Sellwood, could give you nightmares. For some reason the direct link kills the image files so scroll down to the entry marked "2/27/05."

- Would you rather watch the video for "E-Pro," the first single of Beck's new album? Click here. Head's up: you'll have to fill out fake answers on a registration form before the video starts.

- I see this image all over the place in graffiti and posters stapled to telephone poles. What's it all about?
