Hi Friends, While I’m working on pulling together a few posts from my recent thesis work, I thought I’d share a few awesome things I’ve run into recently. Enjoy!

TinEye
Upload an image, then see where it lives on the web. This tool has totally revolutionized my ability to legitimately investigate orphaned imagery that captures my interest. If you’re interested, also check out “Google Goggles.”

Beetle Cam
Ever wondered what a lion looks like from the perspective of a small rodent who’s about to be consumed?

A beautiful animated 2D short. Gorgeous, slightly disturbing.
