Macro Photography
I just figured out a cool way to do macro photography. I took my 18-55 Lense, put it on 55 and then flipped a 50mm Prime lense (with a big aperature) and kinda held it on the end. You can see the pictures after the break. But they work really well. Tiny little in focus [...]

If Atheists Ruled the World
If Atheists Ruled the World is a four minute long set of dramatic readings from various fundamentalist Christian online forums (see here for more). Some of my other favorite quotes from FSTDT are: No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have [...]

But they are really good and really funny idea, here is what she says about the series – I approach the spectacle of sex and politics with a certain playfulness. It would be easy [...]
Laptop

Kinetic Sculptures
I was looking through Make Magazines Youtube Videos and I found Reuben Margolin’s profile. It is wonderful stuff, but it mostly reminded me of enormous versions of stuff that i saw at the MIT museum by the brilliant Arthur Ganson. Arthur makes tiny super complex little machines that are fun to watch. Some of them [...]
