Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
If you start with a picture that looks like the one above, and apply every Photoshop filter to it (in order), what do you end up with?
A picture that looks like this:
Very Small Array even posted every step on the way from photo to mosaic, so click through if you’d like to see how this was made.

This has got to be one of the craziest pictures ever!
What you see here is the crash that killed one and left 10 others injured after the driver, who apparently had been using cocaine before this crash, fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into a bicycle race taking place in Monterrey, Mexico.
There really isn’t anything else to say besides “Wow!” and “Pay attention when driving near a bicycle race!”

Kyle Van Horn’s Camera Mail idea is an interesting one: He sends a disposable camera through the mail attached to a postcard and asks the postal workers to take pictures along the package’s journey.

The 2008 Twitter Color Wars has basically taken over the Twitter world recently, and is an interesting adaptation of a technology that, besides things like Color Wars and StrawPoll that people have created, serves no purpose. (Ok, so you can find out someone’s status, but really, where’s the fun in that?)
Twitter Color Wars is basically a popularity contest where the Twitterati rally around a single color and show their support by taking their profile picture in team colors.
The War goes well beyond just a popularity contest though, as games are going to pit teams against each other to compete for total domination.
Game #1 is a round of Bad Ass RoShamBo.
To play, members took a picture of themselves in their team colors throwing their throw of choice, and then uploaded that picture to Flickr with the appropriate tags. Then, a bracket style RoShamBo tournament will be held tonight with a best of three RSB match determining the winner.
I love the fact that this game evolved out of nothing and turned into a something that everyone wants to be involved in. It’s a fun adaptation of a technology that people continue to find uses for, and there’s a lot of potential for additional games.
Which side are you on?

Edit: It looks like zefrank is behind it all. Check out the Colorwar story here.

I always love the exploded engine shot, because I’m always amazed by how much stuff goes into an engine.
The image above is the 2009 Corvette ZR1’s LS9, and gives a glimpse of what 620 horsepower looks like on the inside.
Beautiful.

Today’s Movie Monday is a picture and a movie.
The picture is an infinity sign that has been worn into grass. The Movie is the explanation:
In order to determine whether the above phrase was actually true, we kept running in a park for 5 days. In the fast-forward movie compiled from digital photographs taken one per second, a path the shape of ∞ (infinity) gradually emerges as we move with high-speed.
Interesting concept indeed. (Click the link to see the movie.)

Here’s a fun way to fool your eyes: In the picture below, how many circles do you see?
The correct answer is 16.
If you still can see them, stare at the “X” in the middle of the image until your eyes begin to lose focus, and the circles should appear.

With a bit of creative editing, you can turn any panoramic image into a photo planet.
What does your world look like?
While traveling around Washington, DC, Flickr user Musely had an interesting idea called Washington, DC on $85 a Day.
Since the US $5, $10, $20, and $50 bills all feature buildings that are located in Washington (the Lincoln Memorial, US Treasury, White House and Capitol buildings respectively) he walked around until he found the place wither each illustration was made, lined up the bill, and snapped away.
It’s old meets new in a very interesting sort of way.

Here are two pictures that tell quite a tale:
The first is Gibson and Boo Boo, the world’s tallest and the world’s smallest dog, meeting for the first time in Sacramento, California for Guinness World Records Day, 2007. On his hind legs, Gibson stands at over 7 feet tall, while Boo Boo checks in at just 4.9 inches.
The second is the shoreline of two Dutch North Sea islands after six containers of bananas fell off of a cargo ship during a storm and washed ashore. After the spill, the shoreline was bananas, B.A.N.A.N.A.S.
