High Voltage Photography

I recently read about this guy Robert Buelteman and is unique photos in my Wired magazine. At first glance I thought the pictures we good but as I read the article and looked at them again they seemed even more impressive.

“Buelteman’s technique is an elaborate extension of Kirlian photography (a high-voltage photogram process popular […]

Cards of the future

 

Time for a little technology update.  Here is an application/technology that uses a web cam.  The application “recognizes” a card, like a business card then uses what it knows about the card like size position recognizable patterns to project an image on the card.  It’s not really on the card, but when you watch […]

Florida Fun

 

We had an increasingly rare opportunity to get together as a family for a summer vacation this year.  As the kids have their own commitments and agendas and Linda has her vacation days dictated to her from her employer the lining up of stars and calendar become difficult.

Vacation Time

 

It’s officially summer, the season for air conditioners, sun burn and vacations.  Tired of the same old Grand Canyon, Disney World and various water activities?  While doing research for my theses on “cheeseburgers as an alternate source of energy” I came across this destination. 

Thanks right, it’s the Cumberland Pencil Museum.  Talk about […]

WIRED

 

. . . my favorite magazine.  I think it’s like one of those energy bars for your mind.  That’s not saying much but, to me, it’s a good combination of technology, pop culture, gadgets and ideas.

I have been a subscriber for many years.  Tidbits and hip phrases have powered my “man […]
