Mother of Mercy

"Private LaVena Johnson's nose was broken, teeth were loose, one eye was concave and there were abrasions over her body. The supposed M-16 hole to the head was far too small for the revolver-sized exit wound, and was on the wrong side of her skull for a right-handed woman to have pulled the trigger. Her genital area showed evidence of acid, perhaps used to destroy DNA evidence. She had white military gloves glued to her burned hands."

"Three years after her daughter's body had been flown home from Iraq, it was still too painful for Linda Johnson to describe the first moments when she realised her daughter had been raped, shot, burned with acid, then dumped in a contractor's tent and set on fire."
-Tracey Barnett

I don't really know what to say about this besides that it ruined my day.

When The Moon And Google Meet ...The Stars Are Blind.

I love google and i love the moon.

Word on the street is that google and the moon are going to have a collaboration, and create another form of life for the moon. There are only rough sketches now, but they have a few leads like this

Robert Williams

Above is an image of what the original Guns and Roses album "Appetite for Destruction" was going to look like. The artist was Robert Williams and some of his other work is amazing. I just realized the other day who he was, when a lot of the same paintings i see are his.

Morphing chemical robots

"Tufts University has received federal funding to develop chemical robots that will be able to squeeze into spaces as tiny as 1 centimeter, then morph into something 10 times larger, and ultimately biodegrade. The "chembots" could access urban environments, tunnels, caves and debris fields, and carry out other risky operations in complex environments."

The end of days are coming.

Typography is kewl.

I love the colors and mixed media of this simple design..it references the past, but brings it to new life.

Mike, I am expecting you to do whatever you have to, to have a pair of these.

Mac OS X, Display looks like you dropped 8 tabs of acid

If your display ever looks like that. IE. having a loss of colors and looking like an old monochrome display on acid, try resetting your PRAM. This portion of memory on the logic board holds your display and video information.

The sad part is that after talking with two different apple employees, niether had any idea what to do. One suggested a SMC Reset and I'm not really sure why but I figured I'd give it a shot. Needless to say, the PRAM reset worked which I thought of after one time when I was at the "Genius Bar" with one of our iMacs from work.

Also, the video card I have, ATI Radeon x1600, had been discontinued in June of 2007 and there are NO video drivers anywhere to be found.

How to reset PRAM:

What's stored in your PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242

• Display and video settings such as refresh rate, screen resolution, number of colors
• Startup volume choice
• Speaker volume
• Recent kernel panic information, if any
• DVD region setting

Note: Mac OS X stores your preselected DVD region choice in PRAM for easy access. Resetting PRAM does not allow you to change the DVD region.
