Since the late 1990′s style steampunk is becoming more and more popular, and not only in the literature. Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by enthusiasts into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical “steampunk” style. And often this stylization gives very unexpected results. Like, for example, art works of american sculptor Mike Libby. His studio Insect Lab make robots from dried insects.

As more and more advertising goes online and transportation conservation becomes an increasing economic and ecological concern, what is the future fate of the infamous billboard? One proposal by Front Architects suggests turning these into lofted homes – small houses to be sure, but located in some potentially fascinating places. Some of these unusually thin homes could be built in place from scratch, others could be transported to new locations or even left where they are in the urban environment. As with so many good design projects the feasibility of this specific idea as such is not of singular or even primary importance – the concept provides a foundation for rethinking everyday urban structures, artifacts of the built environment, that we might find new and different uses for as times change.

Alas, the above image is only a computer-generated overlay in a real situation. Still, what would it be like to live in somewhere so public yet also removed from the street level? Michael VanDaniker | Data Visualization Architect. For the beta release of Axiis I prepared a visualization showing the historical browser breakdown of visitors to W3schools.com. I wouldn’t consider it a useful data visualization by any stretch of the imagination (pie charts are not a great idea, and concentric pie charts… oh my!) , but it does demonstrate how easy it is to get started with Axiis and build something complex in a few lines of mark-up. Since the beta release I added the ability to filter by browser type, and Tom lent his artistic eye and did a little restyling.

Although the number of Axiis tutorials out there is growing steadily, there are still very few, so I’ll dive deep and explain exactly how this visualization works. Check it out here. What am I looking at exactly? Each of the concentric rings are essentially pie charts showing the percentage of visitors using each browser for a particular time slice, starting with January 2002 in the center and working out to August 2009. How’s it done? The outer layout The inner layout. Design. About NOTCOT: the story.

As you know, our first free e-Book was launched and so we were all, including me, busy making Photoshop resources. Thanks to you, the e-Book has met with a landmark success. Now I am free to focus on the other subjects as well. For today, I chose a form of trick photography. So after many weeks, here’s a super tutorial for learning Long Exposure Photography.

As the name suggests, long exposure photo is when the camera’s image sensor was exposed to light for a longer period of time than usual.

Hotel Kakslauttanen, Finland It’s hard enough to pronounce “Kakslauttanen” while sober—don’t even think about attempting it after a shot of Finlandia vodka. We do, however, recommend a few glasses of the stuff to keep warm while staying at this Finnish resort near the North Pole. The futuristic glass igloos guarantee unrestricted views of the aurora borealis from the comfort of your zebra-striped bed; the phenomenon turns the night sky dazzling shades of green, red, and blue from late August to April. 2.
