Photography in Action

 

February 25th, 2010 by joey dew

While browsing through the interwebs lately, I came across two interesting websites. Both of them use the same medium, photography, but the results couldn’t be more different.

First off, Found Functions from Nikki Grazziano. This is one of the most interesting things I have seen in a while. The basic premise is taking photographs of everyday objects, i.e. a landscape, and finding mathematical functions that define the shape of the objects pictured. It is a great combination of the beauty of nature, and the beauty of mathematics.

As an aside, I also stumbled across this website. I don’t know what good can come out of knowing that 1035 is deficient, but I am convinced some day this site will save my life.

OK, so the second site I wanted to share is called stolen moments. This one is all about the wanna-be voyeur in all of us. Yasmine Chatila essentially spies on people, photographs/records them through their windows, and then combines the images with photographs of other windows in NYC. It is definitely interesting, but I also started closing my blinds a lot more after the first time I saw it.

Other than that, it’s been a while, so I figured I would share some random things:

Through March 8, 2010 Dunkin Donuts wants you to create a new donut. Even if I don’t win, it’s a fun site.

Finally, move over beach volleyball, curling is the now the sexiest Olympic Sport. (Sexist joke about women sweeping omitted, please feel free to add in the comments section).

Until next time…

10 Rules for Dealing with The Police

 

December 9th, 2009 by joey dew

Thanks to the Liberty Institute for providing the preview to this gem. It appears that the good people at Flex Your Rights have produced a documentary/educational video to teach the general population about their rights when confronted by a police officer.

I think everyone should buy a copy for their loved ones. Do you want your brother getting tasered for not cooperating, or your Grandmother getting arrested for bringing you along on drug deals? I didn’t think so. Buy the video.

After you watch that documentary, watch this one. You’ll be able to party like Lil’ Wayne, but without the jail time.

Medicinal Hot Dogs

 

October 26th, 2009 by joey dew

As a Jets fan, I wasn’t quite sure how to feel about Mark Sanchez. He had some good games, and some bad, but nothing too spectacular. (Except a spectacular blow-up in week 6 against Buffalo) However, as soon he was caught eating a hot dog on the sideline during the game on Sunday I became a huge fan. Not only do I find this incredibly funny, but I feel like I now have real connection with the young quarterback. I like mustard on my hot dogs too!

Then, during the post game interview the announcers refer to the hot dog as “medicinal.”

I heard Roger Gooddell is going to put hot dogs on the banned substance list. They’re kind of like steroids, right?

Even with Sanchez’s stunning increase in awesomeness, my favorite player on the Jets is still Darrelle Revis. Check out the celebration at the end of this interception. You can’t get much classier than a firm hand-shake and a hearty, “Job well done.”
