NPR reports that “Bioartists’ Flesh Sculptures Draw Fans and Critics.” Yeah, sawing open a cow femur to “paint” a “living sculpture of skin” will probably do that. Given that it’s now possible to “print” beating heart cells, you know it was just a matter of time until peeps got busy with the creative mis(?)use.
Is Facebook using image science to analyze your photos for fun and profit? No, not yet–at least that we know of. Thankfully it’s a hoax. [Via]
Bugs on ‘roids? In the NYT Natalie Angier talks about the seemingly crazy lengths to which animals will go to compete, survive, and reproduce. “Male cardinals and house finches become obsessed each fall with eating berries and other ruddy fruits, not for their nutritional value,” but to make their plumage colorful. (They’d probably buy AXE Plumage Spray, too, if they could just peck open the dispensers.)
“The National Geographic Society has not discovered ancient giant humans, despite rampant reports and pictures,” they swear. They claim it’s all just a Photoshop job. Sure, sure; but I’m looking over my shoulder, and up. 😉 [Via]

These 3d printers are awesome – my girlfriend showed me some architectural models that she made with a 3d printer.
Btw I would love to see a CAD software from Adobe! 🙂

Well Mr. Nack,
I took a picture of my MRI, being treated for cancer and with a little help from adobe (photoshop) I turned my body into MRI MAN.
Kind regards
Ken
