In the eastern mountains of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), a rebel army led by Laurent Nkunda - a former General of the DR Congo armed forces - recently launched attacks and captured territory after a peace treaty had failed with the government.

16 HDR Images That Blow My Mind

Although it isn't photography in its purest form, I love the way HDR can really accentuate a photo.

Wiki's explanation of HDR: "In computer graphics and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDR or HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital… Continue

Thinking About Running From the Cops? Think Again.

It's just not fair. Lamborghini gave this special gift to the police of Bologna, Italy. The local cops refer to it as a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia Stradale.

This supercar is equipped with a computer, video camera, radio, and a holster for weapons, but in addition to standard police equipment, the Lamborghini Gallardo Polizia Stradale is equipped… Continue

I will miss her....

In the months leading up to January 13th 2006 I had been dreaming almost nightly about this car. I fantasized cruising PCH with the top down, or driving spiritedly on Ortega Hwy or at GMR in Azusa. It was something that I had to have. On January 13th 2006, a Friday, I got off work and decided I would drive up to a dealership that had an S2000 in stock. I didn't plan to buy a car that day, but I at least wanted to take a look. Long story short I… Continue

Starbucks is Giving You a Free Cup of Coffee if You Vote!

Goooo Schultz! If you vote, go to Starbucks afterward and have a nicely brewed tall cup of coffee on them!

This idea came up a number of times on MyStarbucksIdea.com, an on-line forum for sharing customer and partner (employee) ideas. Way to go for implementing it, Schultz!

From what I've read online it's based on the honor system so just tell them you voted.…

Just Call It the Oprah Effect: How 12 Words Can 'Cause the Kindle to Be Sold Out!

AdAge put out some stats on the buzz Oprah has started to create with the Kindle. Was it those 12 words, "I'm telling you, it's absolutely my new favorite thing in the world" that was so powerful or was it the $50 discount she offered with a code?

Both! In fact, it just goes to show just how much power Oprah has! The Kindle is now sold… Continue

Advanced Doodling - Reconstruction: Ferris Plock and Kerry Tunstall

Little Friend - Plock & Tunstall

There's something really fun, happy, and abstract about the work of Ferris Plock and Kerry Tunstall. I think I like it because it reminds me of the doodles I would make when I was back in school. If you happen to Denver, their show "Reconstruction" is currently open to the public at the Limited Addiction Gallery.…

Shake Me Like a Mo-Fo If I Ever Buy This: Swarovski Webcam

Cos-What? Cosplay. If You Know About the Harajuku Girls, You Know About Cosplay.

Oh man, why didn't I find this before Halloween? Cosplay is short for costume play. Basically a movement that started in Japan where people dress up as their favorite comic book/anime/fantasty movie character. Started in the mid 1980s, it's turned into an underground subculture movement where people are expected to meticulously imitate one's character. Recently, with the rise of science fiction/fantasy movies, non-Japanese characters from movies like… Continue

The solo exhibit runs through December 6th… Continue

Too Cool or Lookin' Like a Fool?: Bunny Head Hat

I love the look of the rabbit's face...a little disgruntled, a little surprised, like he's saying, "what the fuck? why am i on your head?"

I can't decide whether this is too cool or if you'll be lookin' like a fool if you're sportin' it.

Thoughts?
