Christmas just wouldn't be the same without cookies. Besides the gifts, it's the one thing that keeps the family (not to mention Santa) coming back each year. As with any family gathering, there's bound to be some chaos this holiday season, but as long as you've got a good supply of Christmas cookies, there should be peace and harmony.
I was in Tucson with my family and I had recently bought the MyTouch 4g Slide and was testing out the micro zoom on the 8MP camera. I decided to capture this ant as it was moving along the side walk and captured this stunning image.
Here is a great tutorial on creating stunning moving timelapse shots with this relatively inexpensive piece of equipment.
Stunning selection of photographs from French photographer Cedric Pollet's new book, Bark: An Intimate Look at the World’s Trees. The photographer traveled across five continents to capture the the exquisite patterns and textures of the world's many varieties of tree bark.
Christmas is almost over— all of the presents are unwrapped, all of the prime ribs have been eaten, the whole family's drunk off eggnog— and soon it will be time to forget about Christmas until next year.
Announcement #1: Holiday season is here! Every Wizard101 account that logs in between December 21, 2010 and January 1, 2011 will receive a silent nightcap, which is different for both boys and girls! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
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."
via Jezebel It should not be surprising that social media might allow for our life chronicles to be accessed by those we might not desire in our non-media lives, but some still remain stunned.
Shot on the 7D, filmmaker Euan Preston captured these images of Hong Kong that make me want to travel there immediately. Stunning photography. The slow motion footage was shot at 60P then processed through Twixtor at 25% to get these hauntingly beautiful images.
Wow. The detail is stunning.
A whole fish is just as easy to prepare as a fillet, and it makes a stunning presentation. Enjoying it will take just a little more navigation on the part of your guests to avoid the bones, but the flavor imparted by a fish cooked on the bone is worth every extra effort. Eat a whole fish.

In a special case of the 90 degree rule where there is no cut angle, the cue ball will transfer its speed to the object ball on impact. The cue ball will push the object ball into the pocket, but stop before falling in itself. This is known as a "stop shot" or "stun shot". Make the cue ball stop after it hits the object ball.

So it is Christmas Eve and you are just getting started on your Christmas gift shopping. Thankfully, even for the last-minute Christmas gift shopper, you have a good variety of options to choose from within driving distance or on the internet without worrying about shipping costs or waiting in ridiculously long lines at the mall.
Last year, I wrote a post on "10 Thrifty DIY Christmas Gift Ideas" for people looking to get crafty during the gift-giving season. It seemed only right to do a followup this year with 10 more ideas!
There's a lot of paper-art, paper-craft, paper-design on the web, but rarely do you see something that truly transcends the material. Stunning paper chandeliers by Dutch artist Paula Arntzen.
Artist Zimoun creates amazing sound sculptures using motors, magnets, compressed air, hoses, woodworms and other materials. Some of the sculptures recreate everyday sounds (rain and sprinklers), others have an unidentifiable, industrial sound to them.
Fashion designer Andreia Chaves of São Paulo has created some optically stunning, "invisible" shoes. Constructed with mirrors, the shoes blend into their environment, chameleon-style.
Martha shows Carson Kressley of Queer Eye how to make a gingerbread house. Warm, spicy gingerbread and sweet, sturdy royal icing serve as the brick and mortar for this classic holiday decoration. Gingerbread houses are actually quite easy to construct, especially if the gingerbread pieces are baked ahead of time. Once the gingerbread is done, gather all the materials needed to construct a finished home and place them in a decorative box. Template is on article part of video. Make a simple gin...
In this article, I'll show you how to make a portable prank stun-baton. Powered by static electricity, simply charge up the baton, and discharge it for a static surprise. The concept behind this device ties in with Leyden jars, and their tendencies to retain static electricity.
After I made a blog and sent it to my friends about how I made Gingerbreadman Map fractal holiday cookies, one of them linked me back to the Sierpinski Carpet cookies, which I loved! So, I thought I'd share my how-to with everyone as well!
Just a Christmas pic, not for a challenge. I got the Big Lens App after seeing Cerek's photo I love this group! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Taken at the Toronto Eaton Centre using an iPhone and Hipstamatic 231 app, James M lens and Ina's 1969 film. The radial spin was created on camera by quickly turning the phone clockwise. I didn't think it was possible since I had no control whatsoever with shutter speed or aperture and what not. No post-processing done except resizing in Photoshop CS 5.
I used Big Lens with the snowflake bokeh filter (it was appropriate).
Christmas Balls and Mason Jars. I used Dynamic light, Camera+, and Phototoaster.
Spoof of the Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows movie poster just in time for Christmas!
It's a little late for Halloween, but I'm thinking about making a creepy lawn ornament for the Holidays. Nothing says Christmas cheer like something a little weird.
This week's post on creating 6-sided Kirigami Snowflakes got me interested in seeing whether I could use the process to create tessellation snowflakes using the method. I still haven't succeeded, but I did decide to make some ornaments based off a few of the tessellations by M.C. Escher that have a 6 sided symmetry.
My first attempt with the sonobe unit! I'm now addicted. I'll be spending the holiday folding. Instructions here.
My brother and cousin produced, shot, and edited this music video for the band Ten Man Push. I'm trying to get them to produce a short how to video on some of the techniques they used. Anyone interested?
I'm sorry. I'm trying to avoid the Halloween kick, but this is the only holiday I actually like.
My favorite picture from my 4th of July holiday!
