There are only a few places left here where you can buy the old incandescent bulbs now. I know how much better for the environment the flourescent globes are but I can't deny that I prefer the color of the old bulbs.

"We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb."

-Bill Bryson

I think he forgot to take into account the sun...

I've been thinking about electricity lately. Even the things we totally take for granted now, like electric light, have altered human life quite a bit. It's pretty awesome to have them.

I just started a print too low and made the back-pressure my 3mm filament buckle, double over and wrap all the way around the drive gear until the setscrew threads failed.

Filaments

Mesembryanthemum sp. (Livingstone Daisy): outer edge of the abundant filaments supporting the anthers. The lustre and shape of the filaments reminds me of the Indian sweets known as jalebi. Plant from my garden in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Hey Paul

filaments for testing light bulbs. thomas edison's fort myers laboratory at greenfield village, at the henry ford in dearborn, mi.

set-up: 1/2 sec exposure time on glow stick (in the dark, w/o flash) exhibiting more or less random motion

the original picture was cropped, desaturated, inverted and several copies were made with various gradient maps. these images were then overlaid with the use of layer masks.

the photoshopping was inspired by akimota's shot flickr.com/photos/yeahyeahwhatever/3040149238/

A post & beam assembly with old wiring and a 1900-era (repro) loop filament bulb.

Found this on the street today on my way back to hostel from the department. Anyone know the name?

In the obvious next step from the straight lines of Pick-a-Stick, curves are plotted between the successive points in the strange attractor. The artist is of the opinion that the results are among the most beautiful available on pixelbrain so far, and has so far amassed several engrossed hours watching them emerge out of the darkness. (These, more than any so far, are worth launching the applets for...)
