The $25 Computer
This is incredible, and a sign of how fast technology is evolving.
Raspberry, as it’s known (http://www.raspberrypi.org/), has developed a computer that will cost just $25! The best part about it, is the prototype is the size of a business card.
You see the central device that looks like a battery? That’s the prototype casing of course, but you get an idea of how small it is.

WatchPhantom Water
The only way I can describe this video is that it is grand. It’s one of those videos that you have to sit back and relax while watching. I have never seen water shot like this before.
It was shot with the Phantom HD Gold. Be sure to watch it in full screen, it is truly a spectacle.

Real Life Paintings by Alexa Meade
This was a real mind trip. I’ll let the pictures tell the story.
You see this painting?
Now look at it closely
That’s right, it’s not an actual painting! Confused yet?
Alexa Meade is an artist who paints people in real life with brush strokes reflecting a real painting. The effect is incredible. Here are a few “behind the scenes” shots below.

The Art of Oleg Duryagin
These really move me.
It’s something about the minimalism combined with portraiture and architectural influences. It’s still under-shadowed by the apparent emotion showcased through his work.
A mask will hide your face, but your eyes will give you away. - Oleg Duryagin

Female Computer Voices vs. Male Voices
Have you ever wondered why voice-activated computer voices are primarily female?
Is it just because we like hearing the sound of a woman over a man?
Or even with automated messages that we receive over the phone… Press 1 if you want to be looped around and never speak to a human again! Press 2 if you think you’re going to get to a human!
Here’s an interesting article (below)...

Should You Respond To Every Email?
Source:
Seth Godin /// Author, Blogger, Marketing Guru“No, you shouldn’t. But many people do, because there doesn’t seem to be a great alternative. It’s asymmetrical, and productivity loses to politeness.”

Perfectly Timed Photos
It takes great skill as a photographer to have split second reaction times to get these images… or simply being lucky will suffice.
Either way, here’s some coincidental photographic humor.

What I really enjoy about his work is that...

Photoshop Gone Wrong: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle...
Sometimes, Photoshop is used for a terrible purpose, and that purpose is manipulation.
What I’m about to show you, is no exception. What makes it funnier is they used it within the context of the fashion (commercial and editorial) industry.
It’s so stupid, yet I still laughed my ass off. Now I’ll never be able to look at someone’s nose again without thinking of the...
