Animated maps of war, religious history, secret prisons, occupations, blah-blah-blah

Music would go perfect with this, but I guess that would be kind of passe.

Jamie Livingston - Photo of the Day - 79' to 97'

This is a collection of Polaroids from Jamie Livingston, one photo per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997. In 1979 the photos start casually, with pictures of friends, picnics, dinners, and so on. By 1980, we start to figure out that the photographer is a filmmaker as well as a musician. Through the 80's most of the pictures are of himself, friends and fun with family in various settings (mainly New York). Sadly, through the 90's we see that things aren't as fun or cheery as they were in the previous pictures . We soon realize he has brain cancer. Through the rapid decline of his health, he marries and continues to takes photos until his death 19 days later on his birthday. Sad as it may feel and appear, this collection of pictures are fun, insane, hilarious and of course devastating at times. But, we're here to look and experience a part of this man's art. That's why he took a photo, once a day, for 18 years. 6,697 Polaroids.

Fun with technology!

 This is a collection of interactive studies from the genius Andre Michelle. He's cool and wealthy enough to give us these tidbits of computer science for fun. You can also apply these activities to your website, blog, etc. Thanks Andre!
