Cut it out, I like books

Not sure what to do with all those outdated or extremely boring books, try cutting them up. Brian Dettmer current works are created by altering books. His work has been exhibited in cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Barcelona, and Toronto.

Going Clickless

Click this, click here, click now. For a limited click only; everywhere a click-click. The Web has become an endless sea of clicking, until now. The time has come to start replacing your clicks with gestures and timers. Some of this is already starting to be seen with the interactivity of some Wii games. It also is starting to become popular on the web as well. An excellent site on exploring the concept of not clicking is the Dontclick.it website, where one last click gets you in to a world without clicks.

I Love Sketch: Intuitive 3D Sketch Program

This is a very intuitive 3d design program that turns all sketched lines into nurbs. This takes the 3D workspace and adds the 2d aspects of virtual sketching together in one program. Enhanced features include automatic rotation and curve enhancement and native sketch gestures. As they say the video is worth a thousand pictures and explains why this program is very cool. I can see why this program would be very useful for product and automotive design.

Time-lapse Tilt-shift Video

I always enjoy looking at tilt-shift photography. I was really excited to see someone taking it one step further and make a time-lapse video of it. It looks so interesting and different when the motion is present. Keith Loutit has made a time-lapse video of Sydney, Australia locations and residents.

Lego Aircraft Carrier

Lego aircraft carrier

This is unbelievable! When I came across this I was totally blown away. We have talked about Lego sculptures on Medium Voice before but this takes the cake. This sculpture is made out of 200,000 Legos, weighs around 350 pounds, and even has moving parts. The entire project took a year and cost $20,000. Images of the Lego aircraft carrier.

Image With Every Photoshop Filter Used

This serves more for curiosity then actual usefulness but I will admit at least a time or two thinking what an image would look like with every photoshop effect applied to it. It seems someone has taken the time to show us. I would be curious what the image would look like after using different filter orders.
