Take a look at the image above. Is it a photograph or is it a painting?
It’s actually an oil painting influenced by the aesthetic of black and white photography created by Adam Stennett. I’ve got no idea how he makes these images look so life-like, especially the water running down this lady’s crack. Hubba hubba. All I know is: I like.
Finding new ways to make eco-friendly biofuels is going to be crucial to surviving this whole global warming thing. That’s why it’s so exciting that someone’s figured out how to power jets with alga.
A synthetic biology company named Solazyme has figured out how to make jet fuel using oil produced by caged marine microorganisms. Other companies are researching algal jet fuel, but Solazyme’s formula is the only one that’s passed government tests for Aviation Turbine Fuel.
There’s something to be said about a man who owns an organ comprised of beer bottles. Though making an organ work with bottles is very old-fashioned, Gary Rickert takes it to the next level using every-day brand beers we know and love. Each bottle is individually filled with just the right amount of mineral oil for a diverse sound, not beer, as it would evaporate over time.
I can’t decide what’s greater about the Beer Bottle Organ: the fact that it never needs to be tuned or that it is an unparalleled conversation piece that’ll keep me occupied with guests longer than I’d ever want to be.
