Digital artist Mehmet Ozgur’s Smoke Works set is a collection of photographs of smoke, composited together to create images.

Kinda old-news in tech circles, as it has been around for longer than a week…but this is the first time I have actually seen the video, pretty impressive!

The 2.5-inch prototype display supports 16.8 million colors at a 120 x 160 pixel resolution (80 ppi, .318-mm pixel pitch), is 0.3 mm thick and weighs 1.5 grams without the driver.

This is one of the best and most varied collections of excellent photography I have seen on a single site, all the work of French photographer Guido Mocafico. Once you get used to the mouse-over based layouts on the site you can find some truly stunning shots.

The nice people at the Londonist have finally got tired of hunting for free wireless access in the centre of London and begun a map-based listing of all the places where you can access the internet for free. Of course this doesn’t include the people who just ‘forgot’ to put a password on their routers, but it still might be useful.
The list is being updated as people suggest places in the comments, so in a little while it might be quite comprehensive.

Good to see the world of mime is keeping up with advances in technology, all they really need now are some good animators and a proper physics engine and video mime could be the next thing sweeping the west-end.

Take one old Scottish castle, add a bunch of street artists and a bit of whitewash and watch as Kelburn Castle becomes the most colourful building in Scotland.

Some wonderful lithographs by artist Hisaharu Motada’s Neo-Ruins series, showing popular areas of Tokyo in their post-apocalyptic form.
The closest match I could find showing the pre-apocalyptic Ginza 4-chome Intersection (pictured above) is the qtvr 360 image here.

video removed - the revver code was was breaking the site.
The video is still available here
To follow on from the earlier post with the first person Alton Towers roller coaster, here is the Pyongyang version.
