Certainly one of the more bizarre things I've had to build out of Lego. Assembled for the Gizmodo article The Art of Disguising Cellphone Towers. Grab the Lego Digital Designer file right here.

Do you find yourself spending more time texting, tweeting, or emailing as opposed to talking to real-time people?
Has the amount of time you spend on your cell phone been increasing? Then you are a sad addict
The cell in Eastern State Penitentiary where Al Capone spent eight months. Probably the most photographed bit of the penitentiary. It was a little tough trying to apply my own style. I went for a bit of a softer look as opposed to gritty.
Seven RAW exposures tonemapped in Photomatix, Photoshop CS4 for curves adjustment, and minor tweaks in LR3.

One of several cell blocks. Most radiated from a central area like a huge flower. Though the architectural style was built to resemble a mediaeval fortress. You would not want to be interred here, particularly in its first 100 years.

Out in the countryside near Mandalay the land is very fertile and there are many products grown for the markets. This young man was plowing in bare feet with a very basic plow and stopping to check his cell phone.
While out walking the other day I came across a bit of broken electronics laying on the side of the road. I don't know what it was when it was whole because only a small bit holding these tiny button cell batteries remained. Possibly a small flashlight? As I don't like leaving discarded batteries I find laying around in nature, I stuck them in my pocket and brought them home to dispose of them properly. Before I did I tested them with a battery tester, and despite looking very weathered, they are all good. Guess I'll keep them, they might come in handy for something.

No real history found scouring the internet but my experience is that its harder to get into a prison than out.
The impromptu 2 day tour with camerashy and host to France and Belgium, with some new places, a lot of travel with minimal sleep and some goals being accomplished by getting to a certain school.

Turning light into power, solar arrays are a must-have for the vast majority of satellites.
With solar arrays sized according to the power needs of the mission, there might be thousands of individual solar cells crammed onto a typical satellite.
The design seen here is a thin version of the European 3G30 triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cell. Produced by Azur Space Solar Power, it is one of the most efficient in the world.
It was 60 years ago this month that the first practical solar (or ‘photovoltaic’ cell) was demonstrated at Bell Labs in New Jersey, USA. This new invention’s very first practical use was in powering early satellites, and solar cells remain pivotal to the space industry to this day.
But photovoltaic electricity generation is also on the way to becoming a major terrestrial energy source, projected to supply close to 3% of global electricity demand by 2020.
This bright future will be the focus of the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, this September.
Thousands of experts will discuss the progress of photovoltaic technology across – as well as off – the planet.
Historically, the space industry has helped to drive advances in photovoltaics. For instance, the gallium arsenide cells powering today’s satellites are more than twice as efficient as those installed on domestic rooftops.
With such successes in mind, ESA has begun an initiative devoted to the synergies between space and energy technology called Space for Energy, with solar energy a major element.
Meanwhile, next week sees the ESA-organised European Space Power Conference in Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands, covering all aspects of electrical power for space missions, including batteries, power components and nuclear power.

A prison cell in Kilmainham Gaol. Shot through a peep hole in the door.
The tours at Dublin Castle and Kilmainham Gaol complemented each other nicely, and offered interesting information about the events that led to Irish independence.
EDIT: This is my most blogged photo. Some examples from the referrer stats (and there must be more, because not everyone links back to this page):
The base photos used here, slightly modified by me of course, were from cell cultures done by Elizabeth Normand here at Brown University. The cells are transfected with proteins that fluoresce if the protein is expressed by the cell and much of the color you see is merely enhanced but not changed.
