Yesterday I discovered the existence of a photography technique called High Dynamic Range. I’m not sure of the details, but the basic gist of it is that it uses multiple shots of the same scene at different exposures and somehow really brings out the color. There’s a Flickr group for these shots which is just amazing to browse.
I also stumbled across some other photos which are not HDR but are amazing anyway. These are all shots of underground machinery in Japan. Most of it looks like computer-rendered graphics, but it is all real photography.
If you’re getting truckloads of credit card offers every week, I found a link to a site that allegedly allows you to be removed from the mailing lists. I thought that calling it would be a nightmare, but it is actually an example of excellent usability in a phone system, which is fairly difficult to find.
Lastly, check out the adventures of Action Item Man!
