barbados condoms
I thought that went on the bat.

This billboard from Barbados marks our third international condom ad post (1 see comments & 2.) Looks like we have a new recurring feature.

So what? Sometimes we setup elaborate photo shoots of ourselves and our friends. The most appealing shots end up on the Internet. Some make it to brief Facebook profile fame, others fade into photo set obscurity. Well, this time things went differently. I took some pictures of a friend and look what happened.

Time-Lapsing Into a Coma of Pure Excellence

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

As digital cameras become less expensive and videos become easier to post and share, wonderful converges have developed. One of our favorite genres is time-lapse, or videos that have been filmed from long periods of time in the same place and then sped up.

Time-lapse is not new; Georges Méliès used it in 1897 and it’s been in practically every nature film you’ve ever seen. But it’s fascinating to see what people come up with. The videos seem to mainly be in four categories: flowers, cityscapes, the moon, and hot-air balloons. Of course, there are many, many, variations but these groups seem to dominate.

We love the balloons. Who doesn’t love balloons? Terrorists, that’s who.
