Neat-o

Pardon the dearth of posting, as (happily) events have taken over.  In any case, here are some nice color photos from the early 1900's.

CGI before the "C"

Very cool documentary about the making of HBO's logo back in the 1980's. [via]

Well, that's kinda neat

In some of the shots, you can see the blurred motion of the painter, so it seems like each frame is individually drawn.  I wonder how you make them so precisely? (well, relatively) Probably it's just a lot of practice, but I could imagine putting some sort of template behind the camera that you could use to line up each drawing, or at least some key points.   More likely, it's just a lot of practice.

Update: Or you could just watch this video on how they did it...  How to freeze light.

It's elementary

Get on your bikes and ride! (kinda)

Very cool: CycleKarts.

I want a dachshund someday

Also nifty

Here's another beautiful barn/garage. It's a shame to cover up the diagonals; they look very cool. The only way I can think to improve on this would be to build one of those round Shaker barns.

More of these barns here.

Neat-o keen

Here is a very nice shop made to look like an old gas station.

The eyeballing game.
