Jell-O Chair

Had a weird dream last night. I was invited by my college classmate C (which I haven't seen since graduation) to her apartment. It was in an old complex composed of crooked rooms with water leaks and smells of mildew. Every room was dark and small and full of junks. She introduced me to her two artist friends (they were a couple). Their latest work was this "Jell-O" chair. It looked like those no-back ergonomic chairs, but the seat was made of an orange Jell-O type of material (a kind of memory-foamed Jell-O). It vibrated and moved and there was a tiny video camera installed under the seat to record your butt movement. (I remembered thinking "no doubt this is called creative with bad taste".)

Well, don't know what Freud would say, but apparently all work and no play make me dream weird things.

Video of "My Stroke of Insight"

I am always interested in how our brain functions affect our perception and find the book "My Stroke of Insight" quite an unusual case study. With this video I can see the author describe her experience first hand. It's a much more powerful experience than just reading the book.

D700x, Where Are Thou?

Now that Sony had announced Alpha 850 (in a shockingly low price) and Canon announced the 7D (with a 18MP APS-C sensor), all Nikon users got was yet another rumor. I have to say being a Nikon user really feels like waiting for Godot now. Will D700x ever arrive? Or will we get yet another fabulously unaffordable camera (D4)? I am losing my patience. Life is too short to be a Nikon user.

P.S. found this "Waiting for Gadot" video on YouTube:
