Milhouse Microchip Art

“Simpson’s cartoon character Milhouse Van Houten was caught lurking around on a Silicon Image Sil154CT64 digital transmitter integrated circuit. This chip is uses a proprietary digital technology named PanelLink to support graphics displays ranging from VGA to SXGA in a single link interface. PanelLink implements an open scalable standard that provides all-digital physical connectivity between computers, controllers, and other sources of video to produce an all-digital video interface with higher quality images.”

there are endless possibilities to the art these guys can find

Craigslist Posting – Too Much Crabmeat

It’s a Von Trapp!

Yet another reason I should not be allowed to become bored.

Falkirk Wheel

The Falkirk Wheel, named after the nearby town of Falkirk in central Scotland, is a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal, which at this point differ by 35 metres in height.

It consists of two diametrically opposed caissons which always weigh the same whether or not they are carrying their capacity of 600 tonnes of floating canal barges. According to Archimedes’ principle floating objects displace their own weight in water. This keeps the wheel balanced and so, despite its enormous mass, it rotates through 180° in less than four minutes while using very little power.

I hope this is not a repost. I’ve seen it before but I’m not sure if it was here.

Big Daddy Christmas

Christmas time is here.

Flags of the Internet

1. Googlonia: In classical uncluttered white, contains four stars representing the Google cornerstones search, usability, relevance, and prosperous relations with the Chinese government.

2. Amazon.com: Consists of three horizontal stripes and an orange arrow in the middle. The color blue represents freedom (to buy stuff), and the arrow represents late-90s logo designs.

3. The Yahoo Kingdom: No particular meaning is attached to the fresh, colorful design of one of the oldest and most honorable of all ’net sites.

4. Boingboingistan: The Creative Commons licensed flag of #1 blog BoingBoing.net contains three vertical stripes (yellow, red, green) and a silly icon (white).

5. RIAA: The Recording Industry Association of America doesn’t allow republications of their flag.

I’m only allowed to upload 5 pictures at a time, so here’s 5 (along with my official request for the ability to upload more, like 10 if it’s anything Jennifer Morrison related).

Hermit Crab, Republic of Palau

A glowing hermit crab tentatively peeks out of its coral burrow in Palau. This island nation, along with nine independent countries, eighteen territories, and Hawaii, composes the Micronesia-Fiji-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot. Rich in vulnerable endemic species, this hotspot encompasses more than 1,400 islands—and an area twice the size of the continental United States.

Pollen

Pollen from a variety of common plants: sunflower, morning glory, hollyhock, lily, primrose and caster bean. The largest one at center is nearly 100 microns wide. (One micron is a millionth of a meter – a human hair is approximately 100 microns wide.)

This is a screen shot from my works “harrassment prevention” training. LAME. Worst 2 hours of my life.

Galaxies in the River

Explanation: Large galaxies grow by eating small ones. Even our own galaxy practices galactic cannibalism, absorbing small galaxies that get too close and are captured by the Milky Way’s gravity. In fact, the practice is common in the universe and well illustrated by this striking pair of interacting galaxies from the banks of the southern constellation Eridanus (The River). Located over 50 million light years away, the large, distorted spiral NGC 1532 is seen locked in a gravitational struggle with dwarf galaxy NGC 1531, a struggle the smaller galaxy will eventually lose. Seen edge-on, spiral NGC 1532 spans about 100,000 light-years. The NGC 1532/1531 pair is thought to be similar to the system of face-on spiral and small companion known as M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy.

beinhaus

i found this on skulladay.blogspot.com
“…a skull-lovers travel suggestion from Karl Hochsprung: The Beinhaus (Ossuary) in Hallstatt, Austria!

He says, “The reasoning behind the beinhaus was that there was not enough real estate to bury the town’s dead in so they would bury the bodies in the cemetery for a decade or so then dig them up. They would then take the bones and the skulls and place them in this chapel. The skulls would be painted on by local artists with flowers representing different meanings. Some would have the date of death and the name on them as well… P.S. a direct translation of beinhaus, would be bone house.””

Ruins, Pompeii

The overgrown ruins of Pompeii stretch into the horizon, providing a glimpse into the flourishing urban life of its citizens before the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The volcano has erupted 80 times since unleashing colossal destruction in A.D. 79 but has remained mercifully quiet since 1944.

A Galvanized Corpse

“Early 19th century electrophysiologists believed that if the right amount of electricity was charged into the brain, the corpse would come back to life, as illustrated in this 1836 political cartoon.”

Wiki Zombie and this pops up. I liked it and thought I would share. If anyone finds a larger size I’d love to have this as a poster or something.

Funny Pictures from Trip

Went hunting in South Dakota, and drove their from St. Louis. These are some things we saw on the way.

Spear hunting….. jungle style.

In the jungles of Malaysia… many fish just dont take bait.

So….. they spear them with home made guns.

That.. by the way is a Kenerak.. a motley lookin catfish… good eating.

Chinese Taoist Funeral Rites

These priests are usually adopted by the temple as orphans and do the work of sending off souls to the other world. No normally superstitious Taoist will ever marry one because of bad karma associated with working with the dead.

Then again… pretty much guaranteed employment eh?

Postcards From Innerspace

From C&EN Nov 24, 2008

“In the right hands, say, in those of artist Michael Oliveri, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) of roasted ceramic films can pull off miracles of sorts: The invisibly tiny dimensions of the micro- and nanorealms become Ansel Adams-like images, with arresting landscapes that simultaneously come off as familiar and otherworldly.”
