The Portrait
The artist's eyes go back and forth from the paper to the Orangutan, who sits still, folded up and squatting like some wise old man at a campfire. The Orangutan's eyes go from the paper to the artist's eyes, inspecting the work. Quietly, he presses a finger to the glass, then resumes his pose. It was a moment, I think, for both of them.

Polar Bear Bum
The only time this polar bear, doing laps at the St. Paul Zoo, would stay still long enough to photograph was when he bumped into the glass and pushed off for his next circuit around the pool. I swear he was smiling.

Conwy, Wales
Conwy, a little town in the North of Wales, is idyllic in the true sense of the word: it is the ideal quaint, walled town with a spectacular castle, generous B&Bs, and a pastoral backdrop.

Toyota Matrix 115-Volt Power Outlet
Gear written 8 May 2008
A traditional wall-style power outlet helps turn the Toyota Matrix into a roving office.
Spitting Art
Don't be insulted. The massive animated portraits in Chicago's Millennium Park spit at you because they like you. Playful, sure, but also somehow serene, like enormous televised Buddhas, delighted by their own absurdity. A spitting fountain is funny and forgetful when it's ankle-high, but when it blinks and moves and stretches two stories overhead, it has enough weight to divide over whimsy and power alike.

The Matrix Outlet
Get the right Toyota Matrix and it comes equipped with a familiar-looking 115V wall-style outlet, great for charging phones or cameras or anything else, without oddball attachments. With the front passenger seat folded down, it's flat plastic back becomes miniature desk for use from the back seat—making it easy to charge your laptop on the go, download photos while you're still traveling, and if you're parked outside a place with free WiFi, even upload your photos to Everywhere. The Matrix becomes a roving office.

Matrix as Office
With the front seat folded flat and the outlet in the dash switched on, the Matrix makes a decent roving office.
