Pedigree Dogs ad shot 1000 FPS

Too cool.  And another great YouTube description…

It’s dogs in slow-mo catching treats. What could be better.

Piano Spiral - Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody #2”

Absolutely brilliant visual representation of piano music. From the description:

In a piano, notes repeat every 12 semitones (or keys, both black and white), and each whole interval doubles the frequency of these notes. Together, these notes form what we call a pitch class.

It occurred me that the shape of a spiral has all the correct properties to represent this relation between notes. So I wondered, how would piano music look like if it was represented as a spiral of keys?

Roger Ebert: The Essential Man

Ebert’s journal is an amazing showcase of writing by someone who has something to say, and this profile in Esquire captures the essence of what makes it so special.

Papercraft Self Portrait - Art Portfolio for Eric Testroete
I’m a bit late for Halloween, but this is the most fantastically bizarre ‘costume’ I’ve ever seen. I love these art projects that bridge reality with our new digital world.

Very cool project.  Would love to find the time to do something similar for my old haunts.

Visitors? Apocalypse? Armageddon?  Nah… just a failed Russian missile launch.
