Mal wieder eine schöne Collage in Bild und Ton (hier Teil 1 und 2) von East Cross Projects mit Street Art in Berlin.
Update: Video ausgetauscht, da mittlerweile auch auf YouTube verfügbar. Mein Standbild hab ich behalten.
FATTY BOOM BOOM is a bright and colourful African adventure, complete with wild animals, zef savages singing and dancing in the streets, and a special guest appearance by a sneaky little prawn star.

Anyone Else Think This Looks Like the Cookie Monster? Ok, so maybe it's just me. But the superposition of younger craters on older craters (in this case two smaller craters upon the rim of an older crater) can result in landforms that appear to resemble more familiar shapes to human eyes. More generally, the Law of Superposition allows scientists to determine which surface features pre- and postdate others, leading to a better understanding of the geological history of different regions of Mercury's surface.(via Peter Glaser)
HP Scanjet 3C as the vocals. It lags a bit due to the fast paced vocals. In order for the stepper motor to play a note it has to be moving and with that large carriage it takes a few milli seconds before it can play a note. It doesn't sound like a lot of time but stretch that over a 4 minute song and voila...out of sync. Programming does help to compensate but it is not perfect. Amiga 600 Bass on left audio output and Guitar on right audio output. Each audio channel was feed into an oscilloscope 2 Harddrives as the drums and cymbal Xylophone as the Xylophone (duh) Both the Harddrive and Xylophone are controlled by one PIC16F84A mircocontroller
Sreenfun: Stephan, Du bist seit einem Jahr online. Wie kamst Du dazu?(via peazy86 via Nerdcore)
Stephan: Pure Neugier: Die Magazine standen voll von Internet-Geschichten.
Martin: Die Wirklichkeit haben sie aber nicht dargestellt. Wenn ich sehe, wie der Aufbaubalken von Prozent zu Prozent kriecht, weil man ewig auf irgendwelche Grafiken wartet, ist das jedenfalls ziemlich ernüchternd.
Andrea: Dieser Hype ging ja auch um etwas, was die echten Online-Freaks gar nicht so oft nutzen: Das World Wide Web. Wenn ich da surfe, gucke ich oft nur ziellos herum, und nach ein paar Minuten wird mir langweilig.
Thomas: Es ist ja nicht so, daß einem da verschiedene Dinge angeboten werden. Man muss schon konkret nach etwas suchen.
Screen Fun: Wo schaut Ihr denn nach, wenn Ihr ins Web geht?
Stephan: Ich gehe meist zuerst zu den großen Suchmaschinen wie Yahoo!.
Dorle: Ich suche meine Infos lieber in Büchern. Vielleicht stelle ich mich ja etwas blöd an, aber ich persönlich finde im Web nie etwas. Und wenn, dann ist es in Englisch.
Screenfun: Ist Internet-Surfen etwa out?
Jessica: Als Trend schon, deshalb sieht man in diesen Cafés ja auch fast niemanden mehr.
Let's slingshot around the sun and travel back to the 60s for a day of shopping with Leonard Nimoy and family. I discovered this photo spread in the June 1968 issue of TV Star Parade and it's a real treat to see. It's especially fun for all of us Trek fans that missed out on the first and original Trek craze. (I became a fan during the rerun days of the 70s!) Articles like this one gives us a glimpse of a time when Star Trek was new and people were wanting to learn anything and everything about the show. Tons of TV and gossip mags featured as much info on the actors as possible. I like that the photos from this article make it look like Leonard just walked off the Star Trek set to go shopping with his family. Leonard is still sporting his Spock hairdo and is even wearing a similar shirt like his alter ego. His pointy ears are probably stuffed in his pocket and in a few hours he'll return to the studio ready for the next Start Trek scene. (Click on the pages for a closer look!)(via F5 auf FB)
It's not every day that a space shuttle lands at LAX. Although this was a first for the major Los Angeles airport hub, it was a last for the space shuttle Endeavour, as it completed its tour of California skies and landed, albeit atop a 747, for the last time ... Pictured above, the piggybacking shuttle was snapped on approach last week to LAX as it crossed above and beyond a major Los Angeles street. Now retired, the space shuttles are all museum pieces, with the above shuttle scheduled to be towed along the streets of LA to the California Science Center.
Geoff Mackley, Bradley Ambrose, Nathan Berg, after an epic struggle with the weather for 35 days, we became the first people ever to get this close to Marum Volcano's famed lava lake on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu. Coming within 30 metres of the lava lake down a watercourse, it was possible to stand the heat for only 6 seconds. With Fire Brigade breathing apparatus and heat proof proximity suit it was possible to stand on the very edge and view the incredible show for over 40 minutes.
The whole level is wrapped around itself in a single surface, and poor Mario begins and ends at the same spot every time :( All the elements from the level are there: every mushroom, turtle, cloud and star. They are all carved out of the surface at different heights, which looks fantastic when you have a light coming from the side, and each block casts a shadow.(via reddit)
