• Ricky Gervais, creator of the Office, has a blog for some of his current projects. He is shooting a film called This Side of the Truth, described as “A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.”
• A Dyson Sphere is a “hypothetical megastructure originally described by Freeman Dyson.” It’s a structure or grid that would surround a star to tap its energy on a grand scale. Commonly mentioned in science fiction stories.
• Displacements is a captivating film installation by Michael Naimark. After filming a scene of people in a room with a stationary rotating camera, he painted everything white and projected the film scene back onto the room. It’s a creepy effect.

I put about a dozen new pictures up on flickr. more to follow soon. seriously.

This is some really impressive playing on an instrument I had never heard of before, the hang drum. It was first made in 2000 in Switzerland and until this year you had to go there to get one.
