Did they get bamboozled?

Jan 24, 11:16PM
Photogravure is a printmaking technique that requires a hell of a lot of prep, but the ghostly effect of the finished work is awesome: it's like part etching and a bit charcoal drawing, with the spirit of an old timey black-and-white.

The World's Oldest Tumor is 11,000 Years Old and Spread By Dog Sex
Jan 24, 10:40PM
Somewhere 11,000 years ago, something weird happened to a dog. It got cancer—and the really damn freaky part is that the cancer could survive even outside of its canine host.

Jan 24, 10:00PM
Original recipes are one of those things coveted most in marketing. Remember how excited everyone was about Coca-Cola Classic after the New Coke fiasco? Well, sometimes spirits-makers want to get in on that action as well, whether that means a limited-edition release like Beefeater is doing with Burrough's Reserve, or whether it's a complete replacement of the brand's main product, Ã la Pernod Absinthe. We recently spent some time with both of these new/old products. Here's the skinny.

This Transforming Medieval Text Is Actually Six Books in One
Jan 24, 9:20PM

These Prints Were Made By Pressing Photo Paper To a Computer Screen
Jan 24, 8:40PM
Analog or digital: it's the Thunderdome throw-down of our time. Two formats enter; one format leaves. Either or. Pick a side. Or do like Brooklyn-based artist Job Piston, and use 'em both. Reds is a series of physical prints made on light-sensitive paper pressed up against a computer screen—and they're pretty dang cool.

Beatstep Is a MIDI Controller and Step Sequencer in One Tiny Package
Jan 24, 7:40PM
Inexpensive, portable hardware for electronic music usually comes short on the features. A beginner 25-key MIDI keyboard, for example, isn't going to get you very far towards making big music, even if it does fit in your backpack. Arturia's new Beatstep is remarkable because manages to put both a software controller and an versatile sequencer in one portable package, all for $125.
