Like a freak midnight rainbow, this ongoing series of lit waterfalls titled Neon Luminance is part of a collaboration between Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard over at From the Lenz. The duo dropped high-powered Cyalume glow sticks in a variety of colors into various waterfalls in Northern California and then made exposures varying from 30 seconds to 7 minutes to capture the submerged trails of light as the sticks moved through the current. To accomplish some of the more complicated shots they strung several sticks together at once to create different patterns of illumination. For those of you concerned about pollution, the sticks (which are buoyant) were never opened and were collected at the end of each exposure, thus no toxic goo was mixed into the water. See more from the project on their website.

One last reminder, and I think it’ll be too late! We’ve only got about 50 tickets left for sale for BAH! Looks like it’s going to be a packed house, so if you want in, we sincerely encourage you to buy online. We may have some tickets at the door, but I can’t promise anything!

Hacking strength: Gaining muscle with least resistance

[A hacker’s perspective on strength training. Made lots of sense to me. -egg]

The least-resistance philosophy dictates that you should mold your environment so that the path of least resistance is the path of maximum productivity.

The core principles are eliminating barriers to engaging in productive behavior and erecting barriers to engaging in counter-productive behavior.

Admittedly, this philosophy is tricky to apply to an activity that stresses reaching “maximum resistance.”

But, the principles still work.

Going to the gym is a major transaction cost.

Putting on gym clothes is a barrier.

Finding a consecutive block of time to work out induces opportunity costs.

If you set up your equipment at home so that you can walk in, do a set and walk out, you are at the gym whenever you’re home.
