8-way video card
It's gadgets like this Matrox 8-way video card -- which lets you drive eight 2560 x 1600 displays at once -- that make me think seriously about going back to a desktop machine and abandoning laptops. If only I could find 1) room for eight displays and 2) a graceful way of using the home partition on... More.
Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag
[Click for larger image.] I was lucky enough to see Black Flag play live a number of times in the '80s, around the time Glen E. Friedman shot the photo that graces this book's cover. I was an underage teen sneaking into grownup punk clubs, high on moshpit fumes (and, truth be told, lots else)... More.
Humans are domesticating themselves with smaller brains as a result
Marginal Revolution posted the following excerpt from Jeremy Taylor's book titled Not a Chimp: The Hunt to Find the Genes that Make Us Human. I think we have to start thinking about the idea that humans in the last 30, 40, or 50,000 years have been domesticating ourselves. If we're following the... More.
Mishap at the Electrical Substation
As a little kid, I used to think electrical substations would make really awesome jungle gyms. This video helpfully demonstrates why 5-year-old Maggie was an idiot. This is the Eldorado Substation near Boulder City, Nevada. What you're seeing: A substation like this one is connected to long-dista... More.

Steampunk Residents! FTW!
No offense to the artist, but wouldn't this be better characterized as an illustration than a photograph?
A creative nod to "The Residents" is in order as well:

I seriously dreamed about this guy last night --
yeah, while these are pretty neat, 'photoshop illustration' is a more appropriate label. Also just a weird thing I noticed, the gas mask in this picture:

Let me redirect the criticism of the use of the word "photograph" away from the artist, who uses the phrase "Composizione digitale, Stampa su plexiglass" to describe the works.
Also, whatever the technique or the visual influences, they are good pieces. I like the end result.
HYeah, I'm gonna go with the artist on this one and call them digital compositions; as they are, though, I think they're neat ideas for photographs or paintings, but lost something in the execution. If they were more seamlessly combined and color corrected to the point where you couldn't determine whether or not they were collaged, then I think they could be a serious home run.
I must admit I'd love to see this as an oil painting, though.
