Daily Awesome photos-Beautiful photos gallery WiFi for passive-aggressives December 30th, 2009 · 168 comments When even leaving a note is too direct…you folks with wireless networks still named “linksys” or “trendnet” are clearly missing out on a priceless opportunity to piss off your neighbors. (Thanks to submitters Paul in St. Paul, Stirling in Salt Lake City, Arcadiy in Seattle, Denise in Rochester, Sara in Berkeley, Liz in Austin, Breanne in Oklahoma City, and Payal in Pleasanton, California…all of whom, no doubt, have secured wi-fi networks. Right, guys?) related: Why-fi Van Gogh's Paintings Get Tilt-Shifted (12 pics) After seeing how tilt-shift photography could make real world scenes appear like miniature models, Serena Malyon, a third-year art student, decided to simulate the effect on Van Gogh's famous paintings. Using Photoshop, she manipulated the light and adjusted the focus to make us see these paintings in ways we could have never imagined. Amazingly, nothing in these paintings was changed, added or removed. Update: Recently, I was able to get in touch with Serena to ask her how she came up with this idea. How did the idea come about to tilt-shift Van Gogh's paintings? Were you surprised by the reaction it received? Why did you choose Van Gogh's paintings to tilt-shift? His work was also really interesting because his paintings include a number of interesting details that we could focus in on and make that the centerpiece of the painting. Do you have plans to tilt-shift other paintings? Serena Malyon via [Artcyclopedia]
1,000 Door Building in South Korea South Korean artist and designer Choi Jeong-Hwa used 1,000 old doors to create an unusual ten-storey door building in South Korea. This colorful public art installation titled “Doors” was built in Soeul back in 2009 and I’m pretty sure it holds the record for the most doors in a single building. The building looks really cool, however I would be scared navigating inside it – one wrong door and you’re flying. “In 1989. Sources: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 What’s the Average StumbleUpon User Like? So far this site has received 89,309 visitors from Stumbleupon. This is a pretty big sample that enables me to find some commonalities among users and broadly profile the average StumbleUpon user. I’ve used Google Analytics as my tool of choice for getting the data. Where are StumbleUpon users from? StumbleUpon has more international audience compared to sites like Digg (where 90%+ of people are from Northern America.) For Americas, most of them are from US. I didn’t expect Northern Europe will be that high on the list. What browser do Stumbleupon users use? The data gives a clear picture: Internet Explorer = a miserable failure here. Do Stumblers use the latest Flash version? Yes. Oh well, not really. What operating system do Stumbleupon users have? The surprising part to me is about mobile. Stumbleupon + Safari on the Mac? Uh, Safari = miserable failure (with IE.) Are most Stumblers using widescreen monitors? How old are Stumbleupon users? Be aware this data is only for United States.

Found Shit : Funny, Bizarre, Amazing Pictures & Videos Top 50 Important Tools – DIY Tips and Advice – Tools Everyone Sh Man is "weak in himself, and of small stature," wrote 19th-century essayist Thomas Carlyle. Yet, with tools, "the granite mountain melts into light dust before him, seas are his smooth highway, winds and fire his unwearying steeds." And this from a guy who never felt a 5800-rpm circular saw scream to life in his hand. While much has changed since Carlyle's day, one thing hasn't: We need tools to build, repair and maintain the mechanical world in which we live. 1. * Few tools combine brute force and finesse as elegantly as a sledgehammer. 2. * In theory, you use a center punch to start holes in metal. 3. * The putty knife is more than a single implement. 4. * DIY projects may come and go, but you won't get a second shot at good vision--protecting your eyes should be your first priority. 5. * For portability and convenience, you can't beat the time-honored adjustable wrench, which enables you to turn a wide range of nuts and bolts with a single tool. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Stylish and easy to make bookshelf I'm quite happy with that fact that the first piece of furniture I built is a bookshelf. I wanted to make something large enough to keep all my books, and stylish at the same time. I like somewhat futuristic and organic designs with plenty curved lines, and you can see that in this shelf. It's really a relatively easy project, not much work is needed, although some precision will be useful. Materials: - Wood - 3 boards 2700x120x18 - 2 or more MDF boards 2700x1400x18 - 3 long screws with studs - Paint and varnish Tools: - Jigsaw - Drill The single downside of this design is that you won't be able to move the shelf elsewhere easily - it will be screwed to the wall.
