Unusual Jewelery of the Day: Jeweler Jeremy May crafts one-of-a-kind “literary jewels” using selections of pages from books neatly removed and laminated to form the desired piece.
Each piece is impossible to replicate, and is unique to the wearer. The beauty of the jewels extends within the piece: text and images pass all the way though the object, only exposed at the surfaces – giving a tantalising glimpse of the book within.

“Make that first cigarette much more palatable.”
“How soon is too soon?” is applicable in many situations.

When I was a very young pup getting my first exposure to the world of serious music I absolutely loathed Cage. I don’t honestly remember why, although it seems likely that I was influenced by some of my more staid instructors. Thankfully, I got over it, and now I adore experimental, boundary-stretching music of all kinds.
And, I know it’s going to sound like Peter Griffin admitting he did not care for the Godfather, but I really, really disliked Lost. I thought it was a crappy TV show that enthralled its fans in the zombiest sense of the word.
So, unfollow if you must, but know that I did not care for Lost, at all.
I liked LOST when it was a quirky science-fiction show. I stopped caring when it became Gilligan’s Island 90210, even though I held out hope until the end.
Oh, and I’ve still never watched The Godfather.
Bubbles, The Wire.
This is both timely and makes me laugh, because I just finished Season 3 last night.
I love this book. It’s still one of my favorite Bradburys.
1848 Daguerreotypes Bring Middle America’s Past to Life
Fontayne and Porter were definitely skilled, but no one knew just how amazing their images were until three years ago, when conservators at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, began restoration work on the deteriorating plates. Magnifying glasses didn’t exhaust their detail; neither did an ultrasharp macro lens. Finally, the conservators deployed a stereo microscope. What they saw astonished them: The details — down to window curtains and wheel spokes — remained crisp even at 30X magnification. The panorama could be blown up to 170 by 20 feet without losing clarity; a digicam would have to record 140,000 megapixels per shot to match that. Under the microscope, the plates revealed a vanished world, the earliest known record of an urbanizing America.
