Hodgepodge: How to electricute yourself, where the machine of big science go when the science stops and a woodcraft fMRI puzzle
From Bre Pettis via Make Magazine come these wonderful diagrams illustrating the dangers of electrocution in typically glorious Weimar fashion. From the book Elektroschutz in 132 Bildern By Stefan Jellinek. I like to think of these as filling a need to acculturate people to the dangers of electricity, and based on these images, I would guess electricity was pretty dangerous technology at the time.
This is one of the most normal diagrams in the collection.
One of the stranger ones.
A brief article and slideshow from New Scientist (Where do science supermachines go when they die?) on what happens to all of physics pretty toys when the atom smashers shut down.
An obsolete copper radiofrequency cavity from the Large Electron Positron collider now lies in the garden at CERN.
Finally, Neil Fraser, a Google engineer, applied 9 MRI scans to 60 1-inch wood blocks to create this simply amazing puzzle that can be re-arranged to display different cross-sections of the brain. Via Infostetics.
Neuroscience + Woodwork = Awesomeness
