Visual Effects
Groggy Monday morning after an all night rain--the first in memory. I'm not my usual perky self, so will show rather than tell. Here are some things to see while I decide if my brain is blog-worthy this morning.
Who Killed the Electric Car? A well-founded conspiracy theory (short video)
Touch Screen of the (near?) Future This is worth watching. Will the time come, should our species survive so long, that even use of the hands to control screen windows becomes obsolete? I envision a future time when eye movements and mental signals control what we see on whatever passes then for a computer screen. (short video)
Hubble Image Gallery (I just read that it may be losing one of its eyes! Again. Oh no!)
Amazing Insect Close-ups (and one frog) These are remarkable for their clarity and depth of field. I especially like #17 (right click and save-as to see file names.) And you wonder where those special-effects folks go for inspiration for Jaba the Hut, the creature off the Alien and so on...)
Comments
Those close ups are more than amazing! I love the praying mantis and the frog (of course).
