Last week I was asked to photograph bad boy of literature, Tucker Max. After nearly a decade of writing about his mid-20′s exploits, his final book in the Frat-ire genre is coming out tomorrow. The Daily published a feature yesterday on their iPad only newspaper app, but you can catch the article online, as well as a couple other portraits that I shot of him here.
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. The New York Public Library has created a site called the Stereogranimator where you can create animated GIFs and 3D anaglyphs using more than 40,000 stereograms in their library. It’s a fantastic selection and well worth the perusal.
This animated film is truly spectacular. What’s more awesome, is that it is supplementary to an interactive story as an iPad app. The short film is up for an Oscar, and rightly so. If you have some time, give it a watch. Book lovers, try not to cry. Watch it here.
The rings on a cross section cut of a tree can tell scientists a lot about the conditions of its surroundings at different time periods as well as the overall age of the tree itself. But it can also help us tell what the tree sounds like thanks to this fancy record player-like contraption that uses light and some other electronics to transcode the rings in to piano notes.
LEGOs are always cool. Using them as a means to recreate famous record album covers is even cooler. Aaron Savage has recreated a ton of albums, and we’ve go a few after the jump. Do you recognize them?
Whoa, some weird cows.
