The FPP For Damned Intellectuals!

"[One] day around 1983, I saw an oversize magazine sticking out of the back of the bin with the word 'RAW' barely visible at the top. Hoping it was pornography, I pulled it out. Much to my disappointment, it wasn't, but I'd also never seen anything like it." - Chris Ware

An oral history of the seminal RAW Magazine: Part One, Life Before RAW | Part Two, Life After RAW Featuring interviews with publisher Françoise Mouly, editor Art Spiegelman, and various contributors, as well as design sketches, neato colour separations, scripts & pencils, the infamous RAW rejection letter, and much, much more!

Take your stinking cheese off me, you damned dirty ape!

Gorilla Sandwich. (Probably not what you think - SFW) You can make your own (with cheesy 70s porn music). Serendipitously, someone at Gourmet Gorilla turned me on to these.

DxOMark-Sensor: Compare DSLR's Performance Six Ways to Sunday

spock — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:07:26 -0800

Objective measurements of RAW images are an essential basis for any analysis of digital cameras, but such measurements were neither possible nor available until now. DxO Labs has developed a new scale for digital camera image quality performance, called DxOMark Sensor, to serve as an additional tool to help photographers rank and compare digital cameras. This scale is based on three underlying metrics, Color Depth, Dynamic Range and Low-Light ISO, each one tied to a real-life photographic scenario: landscape, studio & portrait, and photojournalism & sport. (This application requires Flash™ as it uses FusionCharts.) Hours of fun sorting the data by the various metrics, including $$$. Note that Canon models may require some translation: 300D = EOS Digital Rebel = Kiss Digital (Japan) 350D = EOS Digital Rebel XT = Kiss Digital N 400D = EOS Digital Rebel XTi = Kiss Digital X 450D = EOS Digital Rebel XSi = Kiss Digital X2 1000D = EOS Digital Rebel XS = Kiss Digital F You may also find some errors. I appears that they have the Pentax K10D and the K20D identifications transposed, for example.

Start with "The Crazyest Denim Experiments Of Superfuture History." And then make sure you read the rest of this forum for people seriously obsessed with denim.

Theeeeeeeo! You got to stop using the zipangededly googly JELL-O mold with the meat! And stop hanging out with the Cockroach!

It's Lunchtime. You know what that means: Meat. Mmmmmm... I'm salivating like Pavlov's dog just looking at it! What's that? You're in the mood for poultry? So tasty. Bill Cosby from Leonard Part 6 would be proud! (Whoever else has seen that movie gets a free Hat of Meat. I vaguely remember it, but suffice it to say they don't make enough movies where the hero wields raw meat as a weapon against has-been disco queens and her army of gay bodybuilding henchmen.)

"Just as the War Against Drugs would make some kind of sense if they honestly called it a War Against Some Drugs, I regard Dubya's current Kampf as a War Against Some Terrorists. I may remain wed to that horrid heresy until he bombs CIA headquarters in Langtry." Recent thoughts from Futurist, author, and stand-up comic Robert Anton Wilson.
