100 Images Project Part II starts today!

August 29, 2008 · 3 Comments

100 Images Project Part II is an online photo project between two women living in Germany, and two men based in the Unites States. Maren Krings lives in Bad Langensalza and Barbara Thalhuber is in Munich. Eduardo Angel is based in New York City and Timothy Campbell lives in Chicago.

The four photographers will upload one original image, every two weeks for fifty weeks, until there is a pool of 100 images. The similarity or dissimilarity of the images will be left to chance, as each photographer will be uploading their photos without seeing the other photographers’ work.

While each photographer will regularly present an image from their hometown, if they happen to be traveling, they are allowed to present an image taken while on the trip. Any type of camera may be used and images may only be manipulated with regard to cropping and exposure. This project is about vision, not Photoshop skills.

We want to make this project very interactive. We will be sending you bi-weekly updates with different challenges. Your help, feedback and support are critical for the project’s success. Have fun!

Absurd classes, grocery shopping, and confidential info on eBay.

August 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Absurd classes taught at actual colleges. I wish mine had at least one of them! Awesome ways to buy groceries (I’m trying this tonight!), and a not so funny article about a laptop sold on eBay with personal details of more than 1 million customers!

A really fun list of 100 things that every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. I have eaten 76 so far (here is my list 100thingstoeat2). Please let me know how many have you tried. We can’t use cell phones on a plane, but here is the workaround.

4,100 miles nonsense, the coldest winter and bad Vice Presidents.

August 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Driving 4,100 miles for nothing. Get your jacket ready. Apparently 2008 maybe the coldest year of the 21st century. An interesting article about United States worst Vice Presidents.

According to this article, Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards are a total farce. A video on “How to Appeal an IRS Audit” and another one on how to make a wooden spoon, the viking way.

Now you can sketch in 3D, for free. I love food. A lot. But this is a little too much. And keep this link handy just in case you lock yourself out.

Zip codes, and Google in Mars and the Ocean.

August 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I like cartography, especially when it is software driven, and I think that Ben Fry’s maps push the concept to a whole new level. The zip code map is incredibly well done and very nicely design. Hit the letter Z and then type any zip code (U.S. only). We all know about Google Earth, and I’ve played with Google Sky but I had no idea there’s also Google Mars and Google Ocean!
