Watch the sun move over the earth on your desktop - The great thing about this is how much information it conveys without any explanatory text. Everyone understands what’s going on, intuitively. Plus, it provides support for weather patterns. Gorgeous. I’m sure I’ll get this when I finally get a Mac.
Great card trick - Lengthy explanation, but perhaps I’ll try to figure out how to do it.
Diamond Geezers: The Inside Story of the Crime of the Millennium - From the summary of the book:
In November 2000, the most audacious crime ever attempted in Britain took place: the broad-daylight theft of a diamond collection worth £350 million from the infamous Millennium Dome, by a gang armed only with smoke bombs, stink bombs, a JCB, a speedboat and, bizarrely, a Catherine Wheel firework. The Diamond Geezers, a motley crew of petty criminals from south-east London, were desperate for cash and had nothing to lose, and the gems were in a poorly-guarded tent by the river - how hard could it be? But the police were on to them: the capture of the Diamond Geezers would save the Flying Squad’s tattered reputation. On both sides, there was everything at stake. This is the unbelievable story of the Crime of the Millennium.
“Near Future of Music” - The Arcade Fire, Fountains of Wayne, Rufus Wainwright … all artists who have forthcoming albums. Some other interesting ones here, too.
Stunning glass and chrome clock - A glass sandwich joined by the chrome mechanism of the clockwork joins a front etched panel to a mirror on the back.
Pizza Cake - Yellow frosting, slivers of white chocolate for the cheese — I bet it’s delicious.
Espresso art - Intricate pictures in the foam atop the popular coffee drink.
Hong Kong fitness club partially powered by its members - Well, this is nifty, a fitness club that harnesses its members athletic exertions to help supply electrical needs.
I can see this concept being really helpful in a place like Texas where air conditioning in health clubs is essential. The more work you did and therefore heat you produced, the more you would contribute towards air conditioning the place. Interesting.
Photographer education - What a fantastic collection of tutorials on flash photography techniques. Really really great stuff.
I’m already excited to try the “flash overpowering daylight” technique. Though … I don’t think I have a flash that supports the method.
