Link Scroll down for today's pictures & links. Absolut Music Sculpture The Absolut Quartet is a single large-scale electromechanical sculpture, created by Dan Paluska and Jeff Lieberman and on display beginning February 27 at 186 Orchard Street in New York City. We've covered similar devices in our Automated Music Instruments article, and here. Some contraptions were just clever computer animation, but this amazing feat of engineering and artistry is for real. url See more at Absolut Machines and Jeff Lieberman's site - via Today's pictures & links: Click to enlarge images.

LOL! I thought that the Google Docs page I created on uʍop ǝpısdn architecture was dust in the wind...!
That was from a series of Flickr photos I found the other day. I thought they were pretty awesome pics! :)
You guys do a fantastic job on this site! Keep up the great work!

Like ketchup, heroin used to be a proscribed drug. This picture was probably a remnent of this era.

The Heroin that we know and love today was actually created by the Bayer company (the same aspirin one!). It was marketed as a cure all pains drug and sold openly. Things went downhill for that product shortly after...
about buildings upside-down.. our national radio station has this kind of building, google for "slovensky rozhlas"
Amazing the heroin - many narcotics had in previous incarnations some "medicinal" purpose. A wasted patient is probably quite a quiet patient! Not teriffic.
The building below the house attack photo is (or was) the Rainier Bank Building in Seattle WA
Bayer was also at one time part of the company that created Zyklon B gas...

"Upside-down architecture" updated - thank you!
The SUVs wrecked by a tank were a stunt done by an Russian Jeep dealer, for extra money on the trade in the people had to surrender their old SUVs to this event.
On the sign it says "Jeeps are not afraid of tanks" which is a remake of the slogan “Tanks are not afraid of mud” that often is written on Russian trucks.
The SUVs are Ladas.
