Art Crop Fields?
08/27/11 -- In The Name of Art
“Having grown up on a farm, Stan was familiar with tractors and all the farm gear he needed to actually manipulate the terrain and turn into a giant work of art. It took him around three or four years to develop his techniques, but now, 35 years later, he is a world-renown crop artist with dozens of impressive projects under his belt. His rich portfolio includes works ranging from a white rose in honor of a Cuban poet to a giant bottle of Absolut Vodka.” w/ photos + video

“One of the challenges in making this video, was trying to get good storm and star shots. The opportunity doesn’t come along very often, the storm has to be moving the right speed and the lightning can overexpose the long exposures. I had several opportunities this summer to get storm and star shots. In one instance, within a minute of picking up the camera and dolly, 70mph winds hit. One storm was perfect, it came straight towards the setup, then died right before it reached it.” — Randy Halverson

Astronomers Discover Planet Made Of Diamonds
08/27/11 -- Odd Articles
“It is certainly what you could call a gem of a discovery. Astronomers believe they have found an entire planet made of diamonds. Scientists at the University of Manchester think they have unearthed a once-massive star in the Milky Way that has been transformed into a small planet made of the precious rock. The international research team first detected an unusual star, called a pulsar, and followed up their discovery with research using a telescope based in an observatory in Cheshire. The findings led the scientists to discover the gravitational pull of a small companion planet orbiting the pulsar. Pulsars are small spinning stars more than ten miles in diameter – the size of a small city – that emit a beam of radio waves.” w/ photos + videos
Deep Fried Fruits & Vegetables
08/27/11 -- Deliciousness
“The toughest decision when owning a deep fryer is clearly what to deep fry first. Chicken nuggets? Nope, too easy. Oreo cookies? Already been done. Suddenly an idea came to me. What if I were to take a bunch of foods that were normally thought of as healthy and deep fry those? A few minutes later I was on my way to the grocery store’s produce section where I stocked up on baby carrots, bananas, Granny Smith apples, avocados and a watermelon… Out of all the fruits and vegetables I deep fried that first day the avocado slices were easily my favorite. You know what’s funny though? I expected everything else to taste completely disgusting and it all actually ended up tasting really good. The banana slices got a little soggy, but still tasted fine. Everything else stayed pretty much intact.” w/ photos
