88 Brilliant Examples of Forced Perspective Photography

Sent to you by Rio via Google Reader: 88 Brilliant Examples of Forced
Perspective Photography via instantShift by Daniel Adams on 8/24/10

Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make
an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it
actually is. It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and
architecture. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of
scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point
of the spectator or camera.

There are many ways to attack photography and some are much more
expensive than others. Here in this showcase, we presenting a Stunning
collection of Forced Perspective Photography and Pictures taken by
various artists in which all pictures are linked to the author’s pages.
You may want to explore further works of the photographers we’ve
featured below.




When it comes to inspiration then there is no limitation on resources.
Photography is one of the key sources of inspiration for some of our

“Forced Perspective Photography” which I find usually amaze me. If you
know how to shoot a photo then you can also change something fairly
simple to something creative or abstract or otherwise more artistic.
You don’t need any special skills for taking such shots. It all depends
on the environment and perfect timing.

Tiny Seattle Apartment

Sent to you by Rio via Google Reader: Tiny Seattle Apartment via Tiny
House Blog by Kent Griswold on 8/24/10

Chelsea brought this article and this fantastic little apartment to my
attention. I am guilty of not covering apartments very often but I love
the use of space in this one and you must see it.

The article written by The Seattle Times Rebecca Teagarden is titled
“Tiny apartment shows the value of a good fit” and talks about Steve
Sauer’s 182-square-foot Seattle condo which shows the value of a good
fit, from the soaking tub built into the entry floor to the “video
lounge” tucked beneath the “cafe area.” Sauer shopped Ikea for many of
his home’s furnishings, such as a little table, and used tabletops to
fashion cabinet fronts.

Photos by Benjamin Benschneider of the Seattle Times

Steve Sauer watches television in the video lounge, which has seating
for two. The horizontal band around the condo, accenting the
powder-blue walls, is coated with blackboard paint.

Saurer’s says, “What I really wanted was one place with exactly what I
needed and wanted. Quality is more important than quantity for me, and
extra space only a problem,” he has written, describing his nearby
too-big-for-him, one-bedroom condo.

Sauer relaxes in the cafe area of his 182-square-foot condo. "I was
worried as I filled in all the upper spaces that it would feel cramped,
but it didn't," he says. The window is at street level. The little
table is Ikea. It has a glass top that swivels open, providing storage.

“I wanted to compress my home to squirt me back out to the community,”
he says, taking inspiration from dwellings in Scandinavia and Japan,
places where space is dear. “That was one of the philosophical reasons.
I want to be able to shop daily, not store a lot and eat really well.”

Sauer checks his messages at the dining table, which includes a leaf to
expand for company. The undercounter refrigerator is Frigidaire, from
Lowe's.

When Sauer couldn’t find the things he needed, he designed them and
built them: The stainless-steel shower caddy, towel bar. For other
pieces, “Ikea came through again.” Lighting, cabinet pulls, and butcher
block for shelves, the table top and cabinet fronts. The rich flooring,
Brazilian walnut, was installed by Matt Messenger. A bureau from West
Elm fit to 1/8 of an inch, and so it was ordered.

Sauer designed the tiny condo for two. Just inside the door is the
bathroom to the left, and a soaking tub inserted into the floor and
covered with a 3form Chroma panel.

“My dream is to put 300 of these in a building and not have it be a
tenement.”

Read the Seattle Times article here.

One bike is tethered to the ceiling for storage. Steam heat comes from
the building's system. The ventilation chimney runs across Sauer's
ceiling, and was easy to pipe into. "It was passing through here
anyway."

The bathroom wall is covered in 1-inch tiles from Tiles for Less. Light
filters into the room through a 3form Chroma panel, shared with the
kitchen. The ceiling is tempered glass meant for a table top from Ikea.
The toilet is Philippe Stark for Duravit. Sauer designed and
manufactured the stainless-steel shower caddy and towel bar.

The video lounge is tucked beneath the cafe area and next to the dining
table. "All along the way this project's had good chi, so that's good,"
Sauer says. The bureau is from West Elm. "It fit to within 1/8 inch. It
was a nice find. I didn't want to build another piece of furniture."
The floor is Brazilian walnut.

Piracy is bad-a report

As a software developer myself, I know how hard it is to see your product being ripped off. We have recently reported on how even $2 iPhone games  or iPad games are not immune despite their low cost and closed platforms. Their developers have reported piracy rates as high as and  respectively.

Mac developer Dmitry Chestnykh of  recently came across a crack on The Pirate Bay for his journal keeping application and decided to use different tactics. Out of curiosity, he downloaded the crack to see how it worked, and he did not like what he found one bit, ... but it's not for the reasons you might think.

Reproduced below is a portion of the official complaint he has filed with the Pirate Bay, under the heading of "Notice of Ridiculous Activity" (keep in mind English isn't Dmitry's first language).

It has come to my attention that the torrent located at [URL] is ridiculous.

Not only it requires installing APE plugin, and generating keyfiles using some scary tool, it contains an [expletive] *WINDOWS* program to verify the validity of this release. The "How-to" section in the description is just incomprehensible, and won't be understood by anyone other than the writer of this description.

Clearly, the "cracker" Minamoto did a lazy job and don't know how to crack software. It's an [expletive] SINGLE BOOLEAN SWITCH that validates the licence, it doesn't require any Application Enhancer tricks or whatever.

I demand that you don't remove this torrent, so that people can laugh at Minamoto and CORE skills. However, I also demand the better crack to be made, so that it doesn't cripple the user experience of my beautiful program.
Dmitry: for your vigorous defense of Quality, TUAW salutes you.

a news on sport

On the surface, Johnny Damon chose the Detroit Tigers over the Boston Red Sox. But underneath it all, he actually made a different choice. He understands that all things Boston lead back to New York, and, in a way, this site.
He could not feign forgiveness. For the Red Sox front office, these negotiations may never have been personal, but for Damon they were. Despite his carefree persona, he held tight to a grudge, and while Red Sox fans were preparing to let go, he was not. Now, those fans will scorn him all over again, as if he were an outfielder in his prime headed to the Yankees, instead of a designated hitter in his twilight sticking with the Tigers.

Damon claimed that the decision to stay away from Boston was as difficult as the one to leave. In both instances, the Yankees were involved, though this time in a more tangential way. When the Tigers traveled to Yankee Stadium just last week, Damon was given a standing ovation, and he wondered how he would be treated if he were in a Red Sox uniform instead.Although Damon is beloved by his peers, who could not care less that he once left the Red Sox for a richer contract with the Yankees, he still seems concerned with how he is viewed by fans. He could not bear to jeopardize his relationship with a second major following.
By picking Tigers over Red Sox, Damon chose Yankees over Red Sox. If his allegiance were not clear five years ago, it is today.
Ergo, Johnny is ours. Does everyone agree?

Hiv possible to be cured?

Loyola University researchers have identified the key components of a protein called TRIM5a that destroys HIV in rhesus monkeys.
The finding could lead to new TRIM5a-based treatments that would knock out HIV in humans, said senior researcher Edward M. Campbell, PhD, of Loyola University Health System.
http://www.telephonyworld.com/member/4010/

http://www.kcnn.org/member/1033/
http://www.wearechange.org.au/site/member/2208/
Campbell and colleagues report their findings in an article featured on the cover of the Sept. 15, 2010 issue of the journal Virology, now available online.
In 2004, other researchers reported that TRIM5a protects rhesus monkeys from HIV. The TRIM5a protein first latches on to a HIV virus, then other TRIM5a proteins gang up and destroy the virus.
Humans also have TRIM5a, but while the human version of TRIM5a protects against some viruses, it does not protect against HIV.
Researchers hope to turn TRIM5a into an effective therapeutic agent. But first they need to identify the components in TRIM5a that enable the protein to destroy viruses. “Scientists have been trying to develop antiviral therapies for only about 75 years,” Campbell said. “Evolution has been playing this game for millions of years, and it has identified a point of intervention that we still know very little about.”
TRIM5a consists of nearly 500 amino acid subunits. Loyola researchers have identified six 6 individual amino acids, located in a previously little-studied region of the TRIM5a protein, that are critical in the ability of the protein to inhibit viral infection. When these amino acids were altered in human cells, TRIM5a lost its ability to block HIV-1 infection. (The research was done on cell cultures; no rhesus monkeys were used in the study.)
By continuing to narrow their search, researchers hope to identify an amino acid, or combination of amino acids, that enable TRIM5a to destroy HIV. Once these critical amino acids are identified, it might be possible to genetically engineer TRIM5a to make it more effective in humans. Moreover, a better understanding of the underlying mechanism of action might enable the development of drugs that mimic TRIM5a action, Campbell said.
In their research, scientists used Loyola’s wide-field “deconvolution” microscope to observe how the amino acids they identified altered the behavior of TRIM5a. They attached fluorescent proteins to TRIM5a to, in effect, make it glow. In current studies, researchers are fluorescently labeling individual HIV viruses and measuring the microscopic interactions between HIV and TRIM5a.
