Pioneer Woman Photography (2) 1 week ago permalink

I’m no whiz when it comes to making the monthly headers/banners for ThePioneerWoman.com; in fact, when it comes to using Photoshop as a design tool, I pretty much know nothing. I just know that I like change, and I like having a different banner here every month because it’s a way for me to express myself and to make sure you don’t get bored. Or if you do get bored, at least it’s because of ...

Dorky Self Defense (5)

on

Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome (353) 1 week, 3 days ago permalink

This is an instructional video about how to defend yourself in the likely event that someone is attacking you because you looked at them funny. I tried a couple of the moves out on a coworker, and I must admit: there was some definite arousal. Youtube Thanks to P05TMAN, who'll get your shit delivered even after the Large Hadron Collider destroys the planet.

So I'm going to go ahead and risk being beheaded by opening up this wound again, but I want to post this video and encourage you to watch it for a couple of reasons (you'll have to sit through a 15 second commercial, I have no control over that, but it's important enough to endure that inconvenience): First, this one minute and twenty-eight second video perfectly sums up why the selection of Sarah Palin as ...

A Simply Recipes reader, Ms. Annie M, sent us a garlic chicken recipe she found on Epicurious that looked so good we couldn't wait to try it. (Annie, by the way, knows how mortified I am by typos and thoughtfully points them out to me whenever she finds them on the site.) The recipe is basically chicken pieces and a lot of garlic cloves that have been browned in olive oil and braised in white ...

Smashing Magazine (1283) 2 weeks ago permalink

With fall just around the corner, designers are looking for ways to complement their work with fall imagery like water droplets, rain on leaves and fall rain showers. Including rain or water drops in a scene can be a nice effect because water is a very compelling element.

Scientists at Genomatica Inc. recently announced that they have developed strains of bacteria that are able to produce plastic without the use of oil or natural gas. The sustainable process utilizes little more than sugar and water to produce butanediol (BDO), which can be manufactured into everything from plastics and fibers to pharmaceuticals. Genomatica estimates that within a year the energy-efficient process will cost less than current hydrocarbon-based processes - a revolutionary development since close ...

By Tim Mercer and Smashing Editorial team Macro photography is the art of taking close-up pictures that reveal details which can’t be seen with the naked eye.
