Damn Interesting » Warm-Blooded Plants
Warm blooded plants are cool.
If you live in the Northeastern US, and you walk in the woods on spring mornings, you’re likely to see a skunk cabbage. Indeed, you might see a skunk cabbage growing while the snow is still on the ground. What you may not notice, unless you look closely, is that the snow around the skunk cabbage has melted. It’s not a spectacular sight, but around all of the skunk cabbages you see, there will be a small hole in the snow.

Another friend falls prey to the HDR addiction. So far I’ve managed to avoid this crack like software but fear that peer pressure is going to get me in the end.
The basic idea is that you take a series of photos of the same subject at several different exposures. These photos are then magically layered together to create an HDR image. A tone map is then applied to create an image that you can use on the web or print, etc.

YouTube - Zelda Movie Trailer
Looks cool. Hard to tell from the trailer if the acting is too corny though.
A independent Zelda film based off of the video game, “The Ocarina of Time”. Supposed to be released this fall. Low budget and AMAZING!
