Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
Medical science never fails to amaze me. This is a good example of just that.
University of Buffalo doctor L.N. "Nick Hopkins" wants to snake a NiTi tipped catheter into your brain. That is, if you happen to have a non-drug responsive, high risk aneurysm. Applying technology that’s been in use all over the rest of the vasculature, cerebral stenting offers a "lets open up that skull of yours"-free option, but still needs some development work…
A few nights ago a large thunderstorm rolled across the Phoenix area. my immediate thought was to grab my camera and take some pictures. Now I’ve done this before and I have never been all that lucky in getting a fantastic image in the 30 seconds I keep the shutter open. How the heck could I take a picture that had an exposure of minutes and not totally nuke the film? Humm… Well my pinhole cameras are pretty slow and the pinoramic is nice and wide. I decided to give it a try and this is what do you know, the strikes were bright enough to record on the film. Quite nicely I might add. The negs were pretty thin so this is the best I could do. I would have liked the background to be better exposed, or exposed at all for that matter. All in all its good for an exposure that was done without a lens. Its all cloudy right now so I’m going to prep the camera for another run tonight. I’m aiming for an hour exposure, that should cook the film quite nicely.
Ever see a roll of real old film in an antique store and wonder what would happen if you actually ran it through a camera and developed it? Well wonder no more. This is an example of some Ilford film that expired in 1957. I dare anyone to reproduce this in Photoshop! He’s shot quite a few rolls of the old stuff, go have a look, it’s great stuff. This looks like a pretty good photo blog, I’m going to have to keep an eye on it.
What do you do when you discover that your neighbors are leaching off your wireless connection? Well, you could use WEP or you could have a bit of fun. I’d choose fun if this happened to me.

Another wonderful illustration by my friend in Seattle. I’m thinking of asking permission to have a few printed and getting them laminated and leaving few on the flight I’m on.

I saw this and just smiled… You have to read the entire story on to fully understand the big joke. Normal people are so much fun to mess with!
