Strip Camera Photography
A co-worker pointed showed me an interesting abstract sports photo using a technique called “strip photography.” Naturally, I did the smart thing and did a search for “strip photos” in Google. Then I quickly closed that tab and did a search for “strip photography” and found a great article on this interesting art.
This diagram sums it up nicely:
The concept is simple enough, but the results are breathtaking. Thanks for the tip, Tim!

Tuesday getting you down?
Tuesday, without a doubt, is the worst day of the standard work week. Monday is still riding high from the weekend. Wednesday, the whole thing is half-way over. Thursday is almost there and no need to speak for Friday… but Tuesday? It’s got nothin’.
So, watch the clip and take a deep sigh of relief – there is at least one small girl out there who’s high on life and can do anything “better”.
The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
You would think that monetary reward is the primary motivator for human beings to perform their best. You’d be right for simple tasks, but once you enter the realm of more complicated and more cognitive-intensive tasks, things turn upside-down.
The embedded video above is an excerpt from Dan Pink’s TED talk on motivation:
Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don’t: Traditional rewards aren’t always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories — and maybe, a way forward.
