On Saturday night, I staggered over to downtown Minneapolis for the 5th annual Zombie Pub Crawl, a celebration of creative horror makeup and playful kitsch. I'd gone to the Crawl once before, in 2007. On that outing, it was enough to just show up in (blood covered) street clothes and zombie makeup... More.

WebUrbanist has a fun roundup of chairs and sofas that you probably don't want to sit on. Among them, a cactus couch (it's not real, but still painful to imagine), the electric chair, and Tokujin Yoshioka's natural crystal chair, which I posted about back when I was guest blogging.

What do you think you know about Brazilian women?
When Racialicious blogger Wendi Muse lived in Brazil she found that the first question her American friends would ask was, "Are the girls hot?"
It turns out, the answer is a little more complicated than you might think. Understanding beauty in Braz... More.
Seed art like you've never seen it
Great stuff you maybe missed
I tried to keep it simple and the only external items I used were tape, tinfoil (for the lens), a piece of foam, and a leftover screw and tightener from an old ikea desk. Oh, I also used a black washer for the cover of the lens but that was purely cosmetic. I used the cardboard lining that was on the inside of the original box to construct the film holders on the back. I even left the serial numbers intact, so if my roommate ever needed to return it he could ...I’m not switching until they work on other networks...

Why is this even posted? I am not normally a negative person but this is a waste of space and time. So what if he cut a hole in a box and put a camera in it. Would it have been posted if the box was plain cardboard? This is FAR from a "pinhole" camera,,, I've never seen pins that big!
#2 I'm not convinced you know what a pinhole camera is.
actually, I used a fine needle; barely poked thru the tinfoil. The large opening you see is just a larger hole I created so I could swap out the tinfoil/interchangable lenses, from the inside, in case a particular needle/pin size wasn't working.
Alas, people need to think about about where what they use every day came from. I love "Rough Science", ever watch it?
...Damn thing looks more like a Jack-in-a-Box!
I've known an iHole or two in my day...
great result pictures!
I'm really impressed at the clarity and contrast in them.
(i know having iPhone written on the box doesn't distinguish it from the countless other tried and tested pinhole cams, but it's just nice to be reassured of what a cardboard box, some film and a very small hole can do)
well done :)
Braschlosan gambled .. and lost!
FYI the pix overlap cuz I underestimated the focal plane, and didn't wind the film far enough. thanks for the props :)
