Michael McNevin creates the most incredibly detailed pictures using an Etch-A-Sketch. Call me a cynic if you like, but I can't help wondering if it's a fake ... (via

kiddie art If you work in an office with lots of people, chances are that you work with a person who
hangs pictures up that their kids have drawn. The pictures are always of some stupid flower or a tree with wheels. These pictures suck; I could draw pictures much better. In fact, I can spell, do math and run faster than your kids.

American Family Pictures 2002. "2002 was a pretty good year for the family. We made some new friends and re-sparked some old acquaintances. It didn't end on such a good note, but like granddad used to say, 'you can't will em all, even if you are undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.'"

Whomever said big things come in small packages was dead on. While most of mankind focuses on building bigger homes, bigger weapons and bigger boobs
the researchers at Sandia National Laboratories think small. They are working on MEMS, or MicroElectroMechanical Systems.
It's amazing stuff - they're microscopic machines, with gears the size of human blood cells. For size comparisons they used
pictures and videos of a mite
towering over the gears.

In the long line of "take a picture of things" collaborative sites, we now have
Snap Your Desk, which takes a few design
*cough*hints
*cough* from
The Mirror Project.
So show us your crap-covered geek pit.

More than you ever wanted to know about

The Black Day, indeed. Some amazing pictures in a classy site about Sept. 11. I read in the SF Chronicle (but can't find a link) that he set this up and sent it to a couple of friends, and now it's getting thousands of hits a day.

Pictures of reactions from around the world. Seeing flags at half staff in other countries really gets to me. What do you think?

Am I Hot or Not?
Beware of this link. If you click on it you will be sucked in for hours. The idea, rate people's looks on a scale of 1 to 10. The people? Anyone who uploads their picture to the site, both men and women.
I have never found a site more habit forming in my life. Like Dack (who I got the link from) I skipped food, drink and missed my bus.

Sure, spud guns have been done, but sometimes we need
reminders of the awesome power of a flying tuber. I prefer this design, as it is powered by compressed air, whereas a buddy of mine just finished a device he calls "The Judge" powered by Acetylene and O2.
