Animations of fractal sets.
Go and watch some of these and then tell me mathematics aren’t beautiful.

Iraqi currency brought home by my stepson after his second tour. (Hi res files at Flickr)
He’s Infantry and we’re endlessly proud of him – his biological father Scott Hofferber would have been even more so – he went to honor his memory.
God has blessed us by sending he and his fiance Richelle back to us.
Micro Gyro
I used to be an SEM operator, so I really love these images – and the whole concept of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) just turns me on.
So. Cool.

Wonderful moment near the very end when the woman opens her eyes. Stunning since they were closed the entire video.
Gorgeous, clever and engrossing stop motion.

The sandpit
Very compelling time-lapse tilt-shift video of New York – taken in several locations over the course of a day. The detail is endless, both in the stationary and the moving elements. The harbor is impressive to watch, boats dancing on the water, helicopters coming and going like mosquitos.
Vancouver City
Fantastic. Available in 1080P fullscreen at YouTube.

Logo Design
Logo design in today’s world is totally underrated. People don’t understand how important a good logo is and how valuable it is to their business. Let me guide you through the basics of what makes a good logo, while also walking you through the process of creating the identity and logo design for one of my recent clients, Vero, a limited liability company based in Miami, Florida. Hopefully, this will give you an understanding of what actually goes on behind the scenes while creating a professionally designed logo.
Replication animation
Coolest thing I’ve seen in years.
The actual replication process for DNA. Note how one strand has to be copied in reverse in short loops. Truly lovely animation that makes me more and more certain this world did not happen by accident.

If you drove one of the earliest Macs, this is an official ‘Holy Relic’ – and should be treated as such.
Garry Booth has created a lovely piece of artwork that any Mac Geek would be proud to have.
Good job folks!
I hope the folks at Denver Apple Pi see this soon.

Remind me
Little Red Revisited
As part of a school assignment, Tomas Nilsson created a modern interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood as an animated music video for the song “Sponsored by Destiny” by Slagsmålsklubben.
Tomas’ animation was inspired by the music video for “Remind Me” by Röyksopps.

It will be so nice to have a Vice President with some class and an appreciation of fine art.
Can’t wait.
How it began
History of the Internet is really cool animated documentary by Melih Bilgil showing how the Internet has evolved from its ARPANET origins. The video is illustrated using PICOL icons, an project that helps provide free and open icons to help facilitate a common pictorial language for electronic communication.

Cat – it’s what’s for dinner
First, I’d like to say, this is just wrong. Everyone knows you shave them first.
Gargoyles
I loved the architechture at the University of PA in Philadelphia! The University buildings themselves were covered with great gargoyles (all commissioned sculptures!) and plaques commemorating Ivy Day. I’m slowly digging through a huge collection of slides from my days there (I was a lab technician in the Biology Dept. in Leidy Labs and worked for Drs. Lee Peachey, Clara Franzini-Armstrong, Louis G. Tilney among others).
Great Wave
Lovely sculpture from the Univ of PA Museum in Philadelphia.
The wave itself was cast silver and the sphere polished crystal – mesmerizing to look at!
It was inside a plexiglass case that was none-too-clean and the lighting was very poor, thus I had to use a flash – took several shots to get a proper exposure.
Easter Lily
An Easter Lily in a greenhouse at the University of PA, Philadelphia (Leidy Labs). Every year they’d grow hundreds of these for biology students to dissect when studying plant reproduction. The greenhouse would be heavy with the fragrance.
Cupid’s Pissed
Cupid watching his arrows burn on the altar of friendship.
Close-up of a statue I saw at the Philadelphia Art Museum. It was part of a travelling show – the Campbells Collection (as in soup, yes, that Campbells – it’s actually pretty neat – all those paste porcelain tureens and bowls led to some insane paste porcelain sculpture. Luscious stuff. Serious eye candy.) Can’t find any other references to these on the web. If I can find the full shot of the statue, I’ll post it too.
