In which album covers become an extension of reality, and vice versa.

"In Melbourne I developed a way-finding-system for the Eureka Tower Carpark. The distored letters on the wall can be read perfectly when standing at the right position." I wonder how well this really works.

"The purpose of these color profiles is something I could into another time, but the important thing to remember to avoid problems like Norm's is to make sure all your images were exported in the same way and so they either don't have a color profile or all have the same color profile. This will ensure that the site, at least color-wise, renders the same from browser to browser."

Is this it? "Until now, solar power has been a daytime-only energy source, because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. Daniel G. Nocera, the Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy at MIT, has developed a simple method to split water molecules and produce oxygen gas, a discovery that paves the way for large-scale use of solar power." "The new catalyst works at room temperature, in neutral pH water, and it's easy to set up."

"The Coso Artifact is a spark plug found encased in a lump of hard clay or rock on February 13, 1961 [...] long claimed as an example of an out-of-place artifact."

"I’ve seen many images of the Earth and Moon together as taken by distant spacecraft, but this, seeing them in motion, really brings home just where we are: a planetary system, an astronomical body, a blue orb hanging in space orbited by a desolate moon

"Dolphins can swim and sleep at the same time." Refresh until you die. Looking through these, though, I recommend a grain of salt with each serving. These are the Snapple caps of the internet.

They can flip themselves into the air a bunch of centimeters by snapping their jaws. This video is wonderful.

Did you know? Fifth of nine children, owns a bunch of baseball teams, and has no agent, no business manager, no lawyer. He also travels without an entourage and has a temper. Yay, celebrities!

How-to.

"It's not your job to right a wrong / Just mark it FAIL and move along." With cute illustrations.

"Barack Obama held onto your Nintendo collection while you were in France."

"It’s not X because it’s Y, it’s X because it looks like it’s X because it’s Y."

"Music. Dance. Clock."

Cute video, good message.

Billboards from below. Reminds me of walking around Tokyo and Boston at night, looking up.

"Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to create mesmerizing and intriguing art. In a world obsessed with superficial appearance it is a refreshing change to be able to look beyond the surface."

"…also known as the Theseus' paradox, is a paradox which raises the question of whether an object which has had all its component parts replaced remains fundamentally the same object."

Interesting. "Patt can work on his colors and alignment, and hopefully please his user base with a helpful tool. Meanwhile the rest of us would be wise to work on the quality and value of our criticism."

"White surf and a storm of sunlight, you running ahead and a smile Back-flung---but then, how go on? For what would it mean?"

How might we not even realize we want things? "I guess I'm talking about passive contributions of public behavior information to traditionally-sorted data."

"DMG Canvas builds disk images from template documents that you create."

Eric Harvey on point as usual: "Access to technology ≠ access to actual creative skill that people want to watch, not which is just dumb enough to drive people to iTunes."

A man with personal experience in the criminal justice system explains why trying to eradicate violence with violence is foolish, destructive, and a fundamentally broken idea.

What Stephanie and crew made when I landed on Thursday. :-)

For future reference. Tips on how to avoid roaming charges and service proration with AT&T and an iPhone.

Donkey Kong, Mario, and other classic game bits Photoshopped into photographs. Well done.

Take pictures of everyone you'd normally thank, and *before* your presentation run a slideshow of the names and faces.

"Unleash the POWER in your PowerShot!" Add RAW support, scripting, and more to Canon cameras that couldn't support it before. (My A520 is not currently supported.)

Featuring Olga Bell. Saw on Tuesday night (June 17, 2008) in Brooklyn. Fantastic.
