Lean With It: People Photographed Leaning at Impossible Angles with Trees
Chicago photographer Paul Octavious has just released a number of new photos as part of his Lean With It series, where he captures people bending (I suspect falling) in parallel with precariously angled trees. It’s almost more amazing that he’s able to find these trees in the first place, let alone timing such great shots. See much more on his website.
Reflexiones de la Medina (Marruecos) at b3co
Una Medina es la parte amurallada de una ciudad árabe. Originalmente la ciudad completa, ahora sólo un barrio, o barrios, o gremios, o callejones, el mercado, o… todos los anteriores, mientras estén dentro de la muralla. En resumen es un laberinto amurallado (aunque ¿cuál no lo es?).

At long last, we have documented trips on Citi Bike. Rides are displayed as point-to-point journeys (not routed in the street grid – yet) and are rendered in color based on whether the rider was an annual or casual user. This visualization was produced using journey data from Tuesday, September 17th at 12 midnight and Wednesday, September 18th at midnight. Approximately 75,000 rides were taken in these two days. The weather was mild, with highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s. No rain at all was recorded.
Adivina cual es, 3.0
Diría que por ser lunes es día de adivinar la película. Pero todos sabemos que el 2006 trajo mucha indisciplina de esta sección del blog, así que nomás digamos: una más de adivinar cual es. A continuación encontrarán imágenes y sonidos que corresponden a pistas de una película. Todas las imágenes están relacionadas a una misma película y los sonidos son directamente tomados de ella. La idea es que con esa información ustedes adivinen cual es.
New Robot Crawls Like an Earthworm
Dubbed the "Meshworm," a new bio-inspired robot stretches and contracts to crawl across the ground like an earthworm. But unlike its living, breathing counterpart, this artificial creature is durable enough to survive being bludgeoned by a hammer. "You can throw it, and it won't collapse. Most mechanical parts are rigid and fragile at small scale, but the parts in Meshworms are all fibrous and flexible," said mechanical engineering researcher Sangbae Kim in a statement from MIT. "The muscles are soft, and the body is soft … we're starting to show some body-morphing capability."
Faceted Vase DIY + Free Template
I love the modern look when paper gets folded in facets. This modern paper vase tutorial is really easy to make and you can just slip it over a glass for a fancy look. It is easy to resize the template to go over a bigger or smaller vase if you need. (ps: Find the star tutorial here, and the moon pinata here.)
