Ever since school has ended, I have drafting board envy. Nice to see someone taking up some manual craftsmanship on a supple layer of Borco. The musical backdrop is mesmerizing.

I first came across this photo series on “The Big Picture” at Boston.com a few weeks ago and it has been stuck in my memory since. It is a collection of photographs by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) who undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. The series of colour photographs took place between 1909 and 1912. Taken with a specialty camera, these photos are of stunning quality. I myself could not believe that they were taken a hundred years ago with such near-perfect colour quality. Visit the link provided to see the full collection.

Amazing stroll through an imaginative animator’s thesis project. The sound is wonderfully subtle.

The Cassini spacecraft has brought back incredible images of Saturn and its orbiting ring system and moons. The mission is one year into its extended mission and continues to document amazing phenomena like the moon Titan’s lake of hydrocarbons, the hexagonal formation at the planet’s north pole, and the dynamic behaviour of the rings.

Rabbit’s Thesis:
A Parable for Graduate Students
Scene: It’s a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter.
Along comes a fox, out for a walk.
Fox: “What are you working on?”
Rabbit: “My thesis.”
Fox: “Hmmm. What’s it about?”
Rabbit: “Oh, I’m writing about how rabbits eat foxes.”
(incredulous pause)
Fox: “That’s ridiculous! Any fool knows that rabbits don’t eat foxes.”
Rabbit: “Sure they do, and I can prove it. Come with me.”
They both disappear into the rabbit’s burrow. After a few minutes, the rabbit returns, alone, to his typewriter and resumes typing.
Soon, a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.
Wolf: “What’s that you’re writing?”
Rabbit: “I’m doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves.”
(loud guffaws)
Wolf: “You don’t expect to get such rubbish published, do you?”
Rabbit: “No problem. Do you want to see why?”
The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow, and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.
Scene: Inside the rabbit’s burrow. In one corner, there is a pile of fox bones. In another corner, a pile of wolf bones. On the other side of the room, a huge lion is belching and picking his teeth.
Moral:
It doesn’t matter what you choose for a thesis subject.
It doesn’t matter what you use for data.
What does matter is who you have for a thesis advisor.

It’s good to know I have the lion. If only it was this simple…
