Small but intriguing illustration and photo set featuring images of suborbital vehicles for space tourists through to stellar “nurseries” birthing massive stars.
In the past week, engineers unveiled plans for a bizarre-looking spaceship, and astronomers revealed a stellar nursery that harbours some of the heaviest stars known.

Ok, since a fair number of my family reside in and around Melbourne, I present Melbourne Today, a great photo blog featuring the work of Michael Blamey.
Digressing as I do, a chef I once talked to made an interesting observation about the differences between Melbourne and Sydney, at least in terms of dining out.

And now for something slightly different, a photo collection showing the contents of people’s refrigerators.
Nice and clean a lot of them are also. This should be requisite viewing in all offices, after all, “you wouldn’t keep your fridge at home in the state that the office fridge ends up in, and here’s the proof!”

In sharp contrast to the 30°C plus temperatures of late last week, it was a cool, overcast, and at times drizzly, day that hosted the Sydney leg of Parklife 2008 yesterday.
That’s one way to answer one past punter’s quip that there isn’t enough shade at Parklife for what is an all day event.

Why? To assemble a collection of “spontaneous” photos of course:
Calculated spontaneity is hard to pull off without the help of a professional. And I wanted [...]

From The Big Picture. Looking at some of these photos, especially the images of the deserted highways and city boulevards, gives me the impression that North Korea is an eerily quiet place.
Celebrating 60 years of existence this year, North Korea holds out as the last Stalinist state in the world. In such a restrictive society, [...]

How’s this for a photographic assignment, collect photos of trailer trucks that each feature a different letter of the alphabet.
Just so your task isn’t too straightforward, you must track down the appropriate vehicles on relatively deserted roadways, and only at certain times of the day.
Simple, just ask photographer Eric Tabuchi.
Tabuchi has photographed trailer trucks [...]

Some are weird, some are wonderful, some are quirky, and some are design classics… a photo gallery the 50 best watches.
I’m still enjoying my Casio G-Shock which I’ve had for about four years now.
