An experiment we decided to replicate from Mythbusters....you drop five mentos candies into a 2-litre of Diet Coke and split seconds later you get this....
An experiment with time lapse today, ready for my short film I'm in the process of making. Filmed with a Canon EOS 500D and edited with Windows Movie Maker.

What hopes and fears does this scientific method imply for mankind? I do not think that this is the right way to put the question. Whatever this tool in the hand of man will produce depends entirely on the nature of the goals alive in this mankind. Once these goals exist, scientific method furnishes means to realize them. Yet it cannot furnish the very goals. The scientific method itself would not have led anywhere, it would not even have been born without a passionate striving for clear understanding - Einstein
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science - Ralph Waldo Emerson
No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong - Albert Einstein
Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems - Rene Descartes
Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response - Arthur M. Schlesinger
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge - Carl Sagan
I can live with doubt and uncertainty. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong." - Richard P. Feynman
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are experimenting with new interactive storytelling ideas, from shadow puppets to poetic robots.
Our first experiment is ‘Ubu’s Dreams’, a shadow puppet show featuring Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
This week, we did a number of test to explore different ways to perform these stories with simple puppets, lights, shadows and sounds. We tried using a high-quality projector, which gave us better focus and a greater range of motion than the previous overhead projector. This also lets us project video backgrounds behind the shadow puppets, with very encouraging results.
We then played with a variety of character shapes, from simple wire figures to illuminated objects, talking masks and robot bases. They all showed a lot of promise, and we’ll probably use some of these techniques in different scenes.
Last but not least, we tried using a large mirror to reflect our projector, so that it could be placed right below our shadow screen, instead of five feet away. This has important implications for many of our art projects, where space is limited and projections have to be self-contained.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit this fall at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach. I’m also developing a ‘Magic Theater’ course combining maker art and storytelling for our lower and middle school students.

I've made some tiles with TG and glitter.
I made here more contrast just because I love this image:-)
An experiment in Photoshop.
Combined all color channels into a monochrome and then masked it on top of the original colored version and "erased" all the parts that were red to make that color really pop out.
I think it turned out quite well. :-)

i am experimenting with a certain style of sbl mouth, after i fell in love with a YJ custom,....well, it isn't exactly what i wanted, though i am more or less happy with the results.
Still deciding about this girl's future (initially, my own sbl)
long story: last week, i dropped my main lens and the drop was so intense that it made a dent on the UV filter.... i then bought a new filter to replace that one.
late last week, i was so enamored at the images produced by Lomo's that i was actually planning on buying one this week until i came across a Yahoo! Answers page. the guy who commented last gave me the inspiration to try out some crazy things with my dslr to produce the same effects the Lomo can (albeit cheaper since using several rolls of film will make a hole in your pocket).
so i then took out the dented uv filter and put some crazy things on it (front surface). in this image, i put on a 1-2mm layer of vaseline. maybe if i shot it with ISO 3200 it would produce some more grains but alas, i wasn't able to.
will try other crazy things with this filter like, putting some dirt, colored jelly, vinegar (hoping it will produce those crazy flares i had on the first images of my photostream) and even pointing artificial light like flashlights or lasers or even cigarette embers directly at view.
Nothing special, but lately I've been noticing the soil I walk upon. It is interesting.
I haven't yet figured how to play with it so that it reveals new facts.
Notice that peat particles (on the left) are visible, while in clay (right) they are all in suspension.
