The Stranger and the HUMP! 2010 jury invite local filmmakers, actors, kinksters, exhibitionists, and notorious sex-havers to get to work on their films for HUMP! 2010. The HUMP! jury is composed of local sex experts (ahem), sex-positive film critics, and sex-obsessed porn fans. The HUMP! jury looks for hotness, humor, and originality. Films do not have to be slick or professionally produced. They do have to be hot or funny or hot and funny.

Sonic Death of the Day: And Vinyly, a British record label, is offering audiophiles a vinyl resting place to beat the band: For a nominal fee of £2000, your postmortem remains will be pressed into an LP containing an audio recording of your choosing.

For an extra £1500, house musicians will write a special song in your memory and a professional label will distribute the finished product to music stores where hipsters can criticize you for selling your soul and snootily remark how they liked you before you were dead.

Either way, as And Vinyly founder Jason Leach says, it sure as heck beats "being in a pot on a shelf."

Kodak’s First Digital Camera

 
 

Sent to you by Dana via Google Reader:

 
 

via today and tomorrow by pieter | today and tomorrow on 8/24/10

This is Kodak's first digital camera made by the Kodak Apparatus Division Research Laboratory in 1975.

It was a camera that didn't use any film to capture still images – a camera that would capture images using a CCD imager and digitize the captured scene and store the digital info on a standard cassette.  It took 23 seconds to record the digitized image to the cassette.  The image was viewed by removing the cassette from the camera and placing it in a custom playback device.  This playback device incorporated a cassette reader and a specially built frame store.  This custom frame store received the data from the tape, interpolated the 100 captured lines to 400 lines, and generated a standard NTSC video signal, which was then sent to a television set.
