Despite being amazing cameras, the Canon 7D and 5D Mark II can only shoot HD video at 60 fps. However, with an After Effects plug-in called Twixtor, you can slow it all the way down to 1000 fps, as demonstrated with these BMXers: Previously, HowTo: Build Your Own DIY SuperMacro Lens.
Though photographer Mark Mawson's concept is simple, the results are stunning. In a series entitled Aqueous I and Aqueous II, Mawson took photographs of wet paint dispersed in water. The images evoke jellyfish, or rainbow colored hydrogen bombs. Mawson says:"I had seen lots of ink in water shots and wanted to try something which had more body and which produced more organic forms."
Soviet Montage put together this great demonstration of HDR (high dynamic range) video. Using 2 Canon 5D Mark II's, they used a beam splitter to create video images that previously have only been possible in still photography.
Bubble-smith Sterling Johnson recently took his voluminous bubble art to the shores of Stinson Beach, California. Presented in slow motion, the bubbles resemble spectral whales. Pint-sized Ahabs follow in pursuit. The effect is extraordinarily pacifying.
Artist Jim Denevan works on a massive scale. He's "painted" the northern beaches of California, and etched away at the Nevada desert.

This simple yet odd robot moves like a four-legged, single unit of a centipede, which unfortunately makes me think of the Human Centipede (shudder, don't click on the second video in the gallery below if you're faint of heart... or at work).

Here is a great resource for writing traditional fiction. I like to read these things, but remember a few things. Each writer is different so it is perfectly okay if you do something that you are told not to, but still you like it. If you like it, write it, but this can be very helpful for those question mark areas.
"A Day in PARIS" is a dreamy short by filmmaker Benoît Millot, shot on the Canon 7D Mark I. The footage looks truly fantastic. Pretty old news by now, but I'm still amazed how pro you can go with a $1500 consumer camera.
An Australian Liberal senator has slammed the use of Lego to promote creativity among ABC staff as a "bizarre" waste of money, suggesting finger painting would have been cheaper and just as effective.
Recipe is available. I didn't really get it until a commenter explained: "the orientation of the cookie (apart from distance-to-camera which is only relative) can be easily determined from the marking, which lets one match up graphics to it".
FarmVille's Lead Designer Mark Skaggs talks to us about how they use time-based gameplay to design their games - for people who want to play at work (which EVERYONE at my last job did) and people who want to play when they get up, or people who want to play a little before they go to sleep. Genius.
Mark and Stefani at HomeStudio share their secret to turning old SCRABBLE tiles into lovely pendants. Anyone with a crafty mind will enjoy these pendants, which "are great for necklaces, charms, and gifts to give."
Mark Bittman shows us how to make Matambre, an Argentine dish, also known as Stuffed Flank Steak. Take a piece of flank steak and make a shallow cut about halfway down the thickness of the meat, and two perpendicular cuts on either end, then open it up into a large thin piece of meat. Lay it out and sprinkle it with salt, cumin, oregano and garlic. Add some carrot sticks, olives, pieces of onion, parsley, cilantro and watercress. Carefully roll it up into a long roll and secure it with twine.
