Turn a DVD Lens into a Cellphone Macro Lens Redux So, why exactly do you guys have a case of bullets lying around the office? @Pimanrules: A case? I wish. With ammo prices as high as they are I'd love for a case to just magically appear in the office. Dear Ammo Fairies, I would be very thankful if a whole case of ammo would appear. Love, Jason @ Lifehacker @Jason Fitzpatrick: Thanks to the macro lens it looks as if those are actually reloads, I believe I saw some lands and grooves on the very bottom edge of the slugs. @flyingwolf: I haven't gotten into reloading yet, although I'm seriously considering it. I did most of my bulk ammo purchasing several years ago... then I got busy with a new baby, work, etc. and wasn't going to the range as often as I had been. Reloading .22 isn't really an option so I'll just have to suck it up on those prices, but .40 and .45 are definitely worth the initial expense of setting up a reloading bench.

Holophonic Sound Be sure to listen to any Holophonic recordings with headphones. Notice how the sound doesn’t just jump from ear to ear like traditional stereo recording, but actually circles in front and in back of the head. How It Works Hugo Zuccarelli, an Argentine who dabbled in various sound experimentations in the 1980s, believed the human auditory system not only hears sound but emits sounds as well. Holophonic Sound is based on binaural recording, a technique in which stereo microphones are fixed within a prosthetic head—replete with ears and sinus cavities—to mimic the complex auditory system of the human head. When played in stereo, Holophonic sound is so realistic and three-dimensional that it can often arouse other senses—smell, taste, and touch—within most people who listen to it. This Holophonic recording example was created by
Dismount Creative – M&J Challenger 2! Dismount Creative is as a place for people to step out of their day-to-day routine and get together to make cool, modern crafts. Here are the great projects she came up with for the M&J Challenge 2. Project 1: Tie-dye Camera Strap Like many bloggers I carry my camera almost everywhere. Materials:Muslin 3” x 60” RIT Dye String Squirt bottles Hardware store chain 36” Leather: 2 strips 3/8” x 12” Rivets + rivet setting tools Directions Sew along the length of the prewashed muslin strip and then turn it right side out using a safety pin. Project 2: Simple Ribbon Camera Strap My little Diana Mini is way too cute to be carried by the 70’s vinyl strap that came standard. Materials:Split key rings – 2 Ribbon – At least 36” Jewelry Chain – At least 24” Weave the ribbon through the chain and knot on each end to secure.Attach the chain to the brackets on your camera using a split key ring.

Hyperbolic Tessellations A tessellation refers to a uniform tiling of a plane with polygons, such that an equal number of identical polygons meet at each vertex. For example, the tiles in a bathroom, the squares of linoleum on an office floor, or the honeycomb pattern in a bees’ nest are all tessellations of the Euclidean plane. However, tessellations are also possible on non-Euclidean spaces, such as the elliptic plane (like the stitching pattern on a soccer ball), and the hyperbolic plane (like… nothing you’d find around the house). In fact, the Euclidean plane has only three regular tessellations (with squares, hexagons, and triangles), while the hyperbolic plane can be tessellated in infinitely many ways. Since we do not exist in hyperbolic space, we cannot truly “see” hyperbolic tessellations. Since tessellations of the hyperbolic plane are especially interesting and mesmerizing to look at, I wrote a small program that generates them, with a great deal of configurable options.

Best Family Photography Tips How-To: Easily Remove the Vocals from Most Songs | r3dux.org 2015 Shortcut: When I wrote this article Audacity didn’t have an automatic center-panned vocal canceling effect… but now it does, so rather than do the stereo-separate / invert-one-track / play-both-as-mono trick (and that’s pretty much all there is to it), you should be able to find the Vocal Remover option in the Effects menu – but it’s more fun / interesting and can give better results if you do it yourself! =D I found this trick the other day whilst stumbling the Interwebs and thought I’d do a quick-write up w/ pictures to make it as easy as possible… For this exercise we’re going to be using a piece of free audio software called Audacity, which you can get for Linux, Windows and Mac. Update: If you’re trying this out on a Mac, please make sure you get Audacity 1.3 Beta or newer – the stable 1.2 version appears to have a missing equaliser decibal-range slider which you need towards the end of the process! 1.) 2.) 3.) With that done, give it a play and see what happens! 4.) 5.) Wrap Up
Eye on Fashion: Couldn't wait, i had to wear Lanvin now! I was one of the lucky bloggers who could wear the Lanvin collection before the others, touch the fabrics, take the pictures, have them as a gift, neither Madonna or Jlo could have them in advance. Ah ah I'm kidding. It's not true. We're not one of those fortunates but we do can wear Lanvin in advance, yes there's a way. Do it ourselves! Why? This one! This pattern is from Rosanna La sarta website, thanks Mrs Rosanna! click here to see how to measure If you want i'll translate for you the legend so you can draw your pattern according to your measurements, mail me if you need them! The pattern Loose threads And the dress is done! Deciding loops position (they don't need to be on rows just try to fill the space regularly)Finished dress What do you think?
Ulam’s Prime Number Spiral There is an infinite number of prime numbers, and yet the prime numbers themselves do not display any apparent pattern, nor does any formula exist that generates prime numbers. In fact, Legendre proved that there cannot be an algebraic function which always gives primes. However, prime numbers do exhibit a curious phenomenon when arranged in a spiral along with other consecutive integers, as in the figure to the right (in the figure, prime numbers are highlighted in white, twin primes are green, and Mersenne primes are red). The Phenomenon It was first noticed by the physicist Stanisław Ulam in 1963, when he got bored in a meeting and started doodling spirals of numbers. This is quite surprising, since we would intuitively expect a random distribution of prime numbers. Application To explore this phenomenon on a large scale, I wrote a small program that generates arbitrarily large spirals, with configurable coloring and other options. Conclusions Extreme Spirals
