Yesterday I ordered a doll I've been waiting a long time to get from the Debenhams website...and she arrived today!
Next day click and collect is a blessing.
Project Mc2 Bryden's Bracelet doll and review coming soon...
Tsu-Na-Ga-Ri (Japanese: relationship), a complex, multi-part project by the Miraikan Museum (JP), fosters a new way of understanding the interrelationships at work within Earth’s ecosystems. Geo-Palette is an online tool that enables users to create world maps custom-tailored to their personal interests, and makes hundreds of themes and parameters available to do so.

just an idea i have had for a projection brief. the projection represents how we as people are consumed and controlled by the internet. just an idea :)
We all have our side projects. Build a ship in a bottle, repave the garden walk, organize our stamp collection from countries that no longer exist. I also have a few side projects. One is my Stock Certificate Project (that I really should devote some more time to). Another is my ROYGBIV project.
It is not uncommon that friends ask me for photos or themselves for this or that. When they do, I try to squeeze the ROYGBIV project in. Basically, I try to position my subjects outside, in front of some primarily colored background as well as one white background then assemble the results into whatever you call a piece of art that involves four separate scenes... whatever is past a tryptic I guess.
Anyway, one of my oldest friends Kevin Bankston was in town for the holidays and he asked that I shoot a few shots of him. It should be said that Kevin is probably my most accomplished and admirable friend. He has worked for the ACLU, EFF and is making a big move to Washigton to further lobby for and protect out online freedoms. If you watch, you will certainly see him on the television or quoted in all the big magazines. This guys is one to watch.
The condition was that we drive around until I could find some suitable locations for the ROYGBIV project. For those who slept through that day in science class ROYGBIV is just an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These are roughly the shades we see in the visible light spectrum. In my opinion, solid and strong colors make for nice backgrounds if you can get the right subject to background distance so the background becomes a blur of radiant color.
All technical mumbo-jumbo aside, I like the way they look and you can see a prior one taken of my good friend Chris Brooks here. Also included in this batch are some of the un-cropped originals that I did a little more tweaking on.
If you're going to shoot portraits of your buddies for free (and why wouldn't you?) you might as well make them work a little bit for it and direct their efforts towards your broader schemes. So, thanks Kevin. You are now installment 2 in the slow-moving ROYGBIV Project.
Everything was shot natural light with a Canon 5D MKII and a Canon 135mmm f/2 L USM and edited in Aperture and Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

This wire sculpture was a project for our class. I absolutely love this! And, frankly, I never knew I could do it! I had a few ideas before this, but it all failed. So, I just had a sudden brain fart! I said, "Why don't I just make an elephant!" So I did! Then along the way, I thought that just one elephant would be boring and lonely. So I added a baby elephant to be by her side. :) So yeah. I made it overnight. Remind me not to cram again! Gaaah! >.< I tell ya, it wasn't easy making this. Well, I'm thankful I got a good grade for this. It was worth it. :)
Hope you guys like it! :D
This piece is called "Michelles"
Inspired by my friend, Michelle. She adores elephants! Love you, Mich! Miss you! :)

This image is part of my "doors" project.
I`ve decided to concentrate on very common and simple everyday use things, doors. But I look for interesting doors.
Un dels projectes europeus que es desenvolupen al Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) és el projecte Montblanc.
Un ordinador és com una calculadora molt sofisticada i sovint s'utilitzen per fer càlculs que ens serveixen, entre d'altres, predir el temps meteorològic, determinar la qualitat de l'aire, simulacions de biologia molecular o simulacions de mecànica de fluids.
Malauradament aquests càlculs sovint són molt costosos. Fins i tot per a un ordinador. Això significa que suposen molt de temps dur-los a terme. A vegades, el temps no és un recurs negociable: imagineu què passaria si calcular la predicció del temps d'aquí a tres dies tardés una setmana a fer-se!
Per això existeix un segment de la informàtica anomenat «computació d'altes prestacions» (de l'anglès "High Performance Computing", sovint abreviat HPC).
En HPC el que es fa és construir i dissenyar superordinadors, que cada cop siguin més potents i per tant més ràpids. Però massa sovint un superordinador potent significa un superordinador que consumeix molta energia. A tall d'exemple, mireu la llista Top 500 que recull els superordinadors més potents del món. El primer consumeix al voltant de 7 MW (això són 7000 kW, compareu-ho amb casa vostra com a molt podeu consumir 4,4 kW), el segon en consumeix 12 MW. En canvi el número 7 només consumeix 0,8 MW.
I aquí és on vol incidir el projecte Montblanc. L'objectiu d'aquest projecte és construir un superordinador que sigui competitiu (o sigui, segurament no serà el més potent de tots) mentre manté un consum raonable.
L'estratègia per fer-ho, a Montblanc, consisteix en usar processadors similars als que es troben en els telèfons intel·ligents d'avui dia. Aquests processadors no poden gastar molt, ja que les bateries durarien poc, però cada cop ofereixen més rendiment.
A Montblanc, a més, s'utilitzen GPUs (Graphical Processing Units, processadors especialitzats en dibuixar gràfics 3D a la pantalla). Les GPUs són particularment eficients ja que poden donar molta potència de càlcul amb una despesa energètica relativament baixa.
El grup de «Heterogeneous Computing» del BSC estaven enregistrant un timelapse construint una versió reduida d'un supercomputador usant diversos Carma Devkit. Aquí a la foto n'han apilat quatre.
Aquest kit incorpora un processador NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 ARM Cortex A9 Quad-Core (com el que porta la tauleta tàctil ASUS Transformer Prime) i una GPU NVIDIA® Quadro™ 1000M.
This should count for at least 2 servings of veggies, don't you think??? Especially since some Vodkas are made from potatoes and this Bloody Mary is made with Vegetable juice. I know that tomatoes are technically a fruit, but I still think of them as a veggie and the celery is definitely a veggie.
Having home wifi problems so I can't upload big files from my MacBook for awhile now... That's why I just upload my 365 daily on Instagram instead.. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/59654824@N02/]
Here's my second attempt at the 365 Project. I got SO close last year, only a few months shy of completing my goal! :( I'm trying it again though, this time starting from my 26th birthday.
So... welcome to my 26th year. :)
This pic was taken at Ketchup, a fancy and fun restaurant in Hollywood, known for their five different kinds of Ketchup. And yes, the lighting was really red in there! I was lucky enough to have my some of my closest friends make the drive out. Afterward we watched "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D. All in all, it was a wonderful day....
Still can't believe I'm 26! Crazy.
I was 13 when the Beatles hit the shores of the U.S. and I have been hooked ever since. Best band ever!!!
Project 365 is about driving your imagination to unexpected limits by taking one photo each day.
Main rules: iphone, b&w and square format.
Germany - Lubeck: Holstentor.
From outside the Alstadt - old city:
Lübeck’s landmark, the Holstentor. This city gate is made up of two red brick, cylindrical towers capped with peaked roofs that flank a gabled house with the characteristic up and down stairway-shaped façade. When it was completed in 1478, the Holstentor became Lübeck’s western gateway, a guardian of the city center on the far side of the Trave River. The gateway seems rather squat and lopsided, but is still impressive because of what it represents - Lübeck at the height of its power.

`in gold lettering the words over the entrance of the Gate read:
CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX.
On the right of the picture can be seen The Salzspeicher (salt storehouses) of Lübeck, Germany, six historic brick buildings on the Upper Trave River. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzspeicher
The first time I saw the Holstentor was as a picture on the lid of a jigsaw puzzle when I was a child! I guess that I never dreampt that I would see it for real!
Call it a weird tick, or maybe just an ego thing, but the way I’ve got it figured, if I’m not sick enough to go in and see a doctor, then I’m not sick enough to miss work. At least that’s what I tell the guys on my crew. They never listen, and still take time off at the drop of a hat, but that’s what I tell them. Maybe that was the point I was trying to prove yesterday. More then six years of my life has passed since I missed a day of work do to illness. Then again. I think more then six years of my life has passed by since I was actually this ill. If I’d had any common since about me at all, I would not have gone into work yesterday. But as one might guess, I’ve never been accused of having a deeply rooted since of reasonability. Despite my better judgment I did report for duty in the bays yesterday, and to this very moment I’m still not entirely sure why. By 8:30 having noticed the icy chill of fever coming on, I knew I was in trouble. Beyond that, everything sort of meshed together into a dull blur. As the hours passed I remember that voice in the back of my mind pushing me along. “You can deal. Just six more hours. You can deal, just five more hours…”
And deal I did, though admittedly by the end of the shift I was white as a ghost and stumbling around like a drunk. When I got home, it was a hot shower, and then strait to bed. This morning. I’m again feeling much better. Still congested as hell, and sore from head to toe, but the fever has let up, and my brain seems to be functioning on at least a reasonable degree. But I’m still wondering why I didn’t just take the damn day off. I know the Wife is not happy with me. She tells me that if there is not a major improvement in the next day or two, like it or not…I will be going to see I doctor. I grumble, shake my head, and reply “Yes, dear.“ Peeking out the humans on display living room window this morning, I can’t help but wonder if she’d boxed my truck in the drive way last night with her Jeep, just to help stress the sincerity of her threat. I suppose I could answer that question with a simple search around the house for my keys. Something tells me I won't find them. I’d been making plans all week for a drive up to Victor and some photo taking under the shadow of the Targhee and Grand Teton mountain range's this morning. Clearly, that did not happen. Nor do I think she will be letting me go tomorrow. I guess time will tell…But for now. I'm going back to bed.

The nave of the Dom (Cathedral).
The interior of the Cathedral (length 86m. width 62.5m.) is in a cool white and holds over 10,000 people. The ceiling frescoes in the middle nave were painted by Arsenio Mascagni and Ignazio Solari and show scenes of the life and suffering of Christ and lead to Mascagni's large picture of the resurrection of Christ.
In this picture can also be seen some of the frescoes of the cupola.
Families experiencing homelessness have found a home thanks to Project Homekey on April 19, 2021. LA County purchased the 41-room former Travel Plaza Inn in Compton for about $6.5 million late 2020 to serve as the only Project Homekey site dedicated to serving families. The families began moving into the property on March 5th, and currently operated by HOPICS. (Photo by Los Angeles County)
This started out as a tortured tee shirt I had laying around for quite some time. I cut it into thin strips and sewed the ends to a strip of extra jersey left over from the sleeves. Then I braided the strips and sewed up the other end with another sleeve. Then I put my hair up in a loose bun and tied the headband below the bun and tucked the ends under. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but I think I will keep experimenting until I perfect it. Maybe next time I'll use a hot pink shirt!
The Blythe Solar Power Project, a four-unit, 485-megawatt photovoltaic facility and 387-megawatt battery energy storage system in Riverside County, is now fully operational. The project will produce enough energy to power approximately 145,500 homes.

Never too old for a toy! This is a bit hard to fly, but I will get the hang of it. Doing another 365 photo project, had no passion for photography last year, hope this project will rekindle my creativeness.
On the Joecustoms site we had a group customizing project that was called Project '84. The idea being that it is 1983 and we had to make new G.I. Joe and Cobra figures for 1984 and we could only use existing tooling (the first year Joe and Cobras) I went with Firefly here,
Head: Snake Eyes
Chest: Cobra Officer
Arms: Upper Cobra Trooper
Arms: Lower Scarlett
Legs: Upper Left Major Bludd
Legs: Upper Right Snake Eyes
Legs Lower: Cobra Officer
This is a project started over a year ago in Helen Wilson's tuesday night class. I work on it occasionally. (I did not work on it the 10 months we were in france.) This kind of thing is a lot harder for me than depicting something I can see with my eyeballs as opposed to my mind's eye. I have recently solved some technical problems that were sapping the painting of all the fun. I will be picking up the pace on it and when done I'll post again. I took these pics for silliness sake.
