MAKE: television, episode 2

The second episode of MAKE: television aired on public television on Saturday. If you missed it, the whole thing is available on the show's Web site. (Above is the "Maker Profile" from the episode.) Congrats to all my colleagues at MAKE: and Twin Cities Public Television who worked on the show. It really embodies the spirit of the magazine and Maker Faire. From the description of Episode 2:

Maker Cris Benton takes spectacular aerial photographs by rigging remote-controlled cameras to high flying kites. In the Maker Workshop John Park builds a Burrito Blaster, which can propel a burrito 50 yards, and Mister Jalopy shows off his giant iPod. The Maker Channel features vegetable flutes, cool remote control robots, printer that makes designs on a cafe latte, and a stealthy technique to park anywhere for free!

Slo-mo demolition of iconic Philadelphia Drexel smokestack

Nicole sez, "Philebrity posted a haunting video of the recent demolition of the Drexel Shaft in Philadelphia. The tripped out music and slowly tumbling smoke stack aptly visualize a crumbling American economy." He's One Bad Mutha- Shut Your Mouth! But I'm Talking About DREXEL SHAFT! (Thanks, Nic... More.

A call to leak photos documenting torture in Iraq and Afghanistan

As blogged previously, the Obama administration is blocking release of photos documenting torture in Iraq and Afghanistan by US forces - ironically, just as Obama speaks against censorship in China.
