Nice pics.

BTW, the photo editor for In Focus ran the Big Picture blog at Boston.com for 2+ years and just started working for The Atlantic. Thanks to him for popularizing that format (high-res...

I love all the tilt-shift time-lapse vids, but I'd never seen a ski related one. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

BTW, I will forever associate that song with the climactic section of Silence of the Lambs. Oh, and this...

There are quite a few good arguments for legalizing pot. In my opinion the best argument is that in a free society, the idea that the state can tell people what they put in their own bodies is rather...

Hilarious. I guess I never noticed because I was too distracted by Princess Aura (Ornella Muti)...

I've been wondering why the surge has been so strong with this hurricane, and I wondered if it had anything to do with the size of the storm and the fetch. It seems pretty obvious after reading this....

Yeah, but tell me this video isn't terrifying...

Cool. Now I won't miss any more bear sightings.

Okay, I found video of the bear on the beach. I'm intrigued.

Houston does fine with fast moving hurricanes. Slow moving tropical storms... not so much.

video of Cantore in Galveston at TWC

scary to see the waves that high with the hurricane still a full day away

I'm wondering what SE Texas and SW Louisiana getting hit will do to gas prices...

Whenever there is a hurricane near Galveston, I am reminded of the fact that the entire city was raised as much as 17 feet after the 1900 storm. Over 2100 buildings - I don't think you could do that...

Just saw that on Fark and knew it would be in the Padded Room.

Hil-freakin-arious!

I saw this earlier and just knew it would find its way to the padded room.

Youtube video is pretty horrible.

I read somewhere that Phelps is making 5 million a year in endorsements. He will get a 1 million bonus from Speedo if he breaks the record. Yeah, it seems like he is making some good career decisions.

I thought this was an interesting video on racism among European soccer fans...

I saw that on Fark today.
Great read.
Heart wrenching, infuriating, and touching.
Loved the part about her new brother.

Bump. The guy just posted his 3rd video.

I know he has been sponsored since the second video, but I'm so jealous of his travel budget.

Love that scene from The Band Wagon. Also love this one from Singin In The Rain...

Considering this got posted on all the usual sites: digg, slashdot... TGR, I would say it was an effective publicity stunt. Farkers like their inside jokes too.

Oh and it reminds me of this :-(

I hear you. That is the entire point of this article by Thom Hogan. Buy a nice tripod/head first or buy a cheap one, get frustrated, and buy a nice one later.

Yeah, I had seen it before too. I was trying to emulate the one I saw.

Fake tilt shifts are a fun little PS trick and quite easy. Here are a few I did a while back. These are not my photos, btw...

You don't need to have the crabs to enjoy this at the theatre.

I'm very impressed with the cat and frog one.

I'm not a big Heineken fan, but I love this photo. I would have voted for this if it had been eligible.

I wasn't really interested in voting on this, but I did learn about a few cool photo blogs. I had heard of a couple already.

Austin certainly isn't the culinary backwater it once was. I'll agree that you can get all kinds of good food. I was thinking more about trying something Austin is known for.
