Post a picture, entertain me!

There's an artist called Dave Rapoza who did a series of rendered TMNT paintings that would have worked waaaay better.

I have all those. Love them. Absolutely love them. I think my main issue with the design they went ahead with, is that they have actual noses. Not just nostrals, but full on noses, and that's just weird looking.

masks that stick perfectly to your brow and eye socket... how the hell do they work?

Yeah, I thought the same thing. The noses just look weird.

No love for cassettes, guys?

Yarp. Exactly my problem.

How the hell is this semantics? It's from the website, it's the point of the festival. It's a French language cinema festival.

Sorry, wasn't targeted towards you specifically or anything. Just to me, just because the films are all in French as a language doesn't mean they are all from a similar culture, yet it is referred to as a French language culture. That's, at least, my impression of it, or how my brain parses the different ideas. But it's a silly rabbit hole to get into altogether, and next thing you know people are linking definitions from Wiki's or Dictionary.com or some such for what amounted to someone being amused by a poster.

No offense or such a thing was intended.

Now then, on topic:

Wait.. what?!?!

Is that from the new movie?

Is that the unholy union between Shrek and Voldemort? I saw it on Twitter and thought it was a 'shop.

That's the most terrifying thing I've ever seen.

Have you even been in the scary spider thread?

Yep. Spiders are cuddly. They get rid of ants, and keep my daughters from getting uppity.

It is a 'shop, considering the actual screenshot was posted on this page by WipeOut.

That also looked like a 'shop. I'm so confused.

Duuuuuuude, what if we're all 'shops on the hard drive of some giant, and he's a 'shop on the hard drive of some bigger giant, and he's a 'shop . . .

It's Michelangelo + Voldemort + Shrek for some reason.

Any love for the SyQuest EZ135?

These things should have ate the Zip 100's lunch but better marketing won out over better performance yet again. My first computer (Macintosh Performa 600CD hand-me-down) came with one of these and 6 disks for it. It may have been faster than the 160MB internal HDD. Also I totally don't miss troubleshooting SCSI chains

And some random photos I can actually get to cooperate. Coles Phillips and his fadeaway girls

Odd, one of those pictured triggered my malware alert (the ones on this page)... Interesting pictures though

I can't tell you how many times I get people coming into the electronics department I work at asking for a usb drive, but calling it a zip drive, ugh.

31 Unexpected Google Street View Sightings

Maybe this isn't the right thread for this, but I'm curious. Does it count as art if the images are from Google Street View? Does it count as that guys photography, or does he pay royalties to Google for use of those images? (He has a book collection of them, that he presumably sells, for money.) I love the images, but it's not actually him holding the camera, he's more acting as a art/photography director than a photographer. I know this kind of gets into esthetics and art philosophy, but I'm genuinely curious. And not to belittle the work that I'm sure went into slogging through all those Google Street views, but where is the craft in picking the images that are amusing and/or compositionally interesting? (For the record, I'm playing a little Devils advocate)

So. Want.

Spoiler:

This would be my Evil Villain Hideaway. There would be a shark in at least one of those pools.

I'm sorry these are not embedded photos. I have no idea how the new flickr works.

I have a flickr pro account and I still have no idea how new flickr works. They just keep changing stuff, but still fail to make it better.

Anyway, most of those beasties give me chills so maybe we're better off not embedding them.

Aw, OOS.

In my world we still have to support MO drives, well disks anyway. It's on us to procure the drives which has been "fun" for a while. Oh, and PCMCIA too.

That's where they stored Airwolf.

Turns out the Orb Drive was "magneto-resistive", but same concept anyway. The disks inside were this gorgeous mirror-like surface, perfect silver without any of the color variation you'd find on a silver CDR.
