Sagaki Keita is an artist whose recent works are created by fusing together tiny doodles into madly detailed illustrations of ancient Roman sculptures. The word incredible can be used to describe not just the level of detail in these drawings, but also the output of work by the guy… already 12 of these released in this year alone (!).

Many more samples of his artworks are available at his website, but I’m still hoping for some high resolution images or at least a price on some prints, cause I’ve got a feeling to see these in only 72 dpi does it all very little justice.

This is a wonderfully captured video of a ‘murmuration’ of starlings in flight and it really captures the natural beauty of their movements, flying and turning in the air, almost like a single living entity.

Two solid write ups on the scientific properties of their flights if you’re interested, they can be found here and here (with video).

Mathematical analysis of flock dynamics show how each starling’s movement is influenced by every other starling, and vice versa. It doesn’t matter how large a flock is, or if two birds are on opposite sides. It’s as if every individual is connected to the same network.

Or like me, get all your information on life and eating baconnaise from The Daily Show, this is a good chuckle…

This is a really good talk on the need to preserve civilization’s history and how really groundbreaking 3D scanning technology will help in this endevour to do so.  Sweet demo of it at work at the end.
