My project, “GOLEM: A Visual Exploration of Jewish Texts in the Era of Advanced Technology”, will bring the ancient legends of artificial humans into the 21st century, challenging us with questions such as, “When humanity chooses to play the role of its own creator, how do we keep the ...
Life and poor weather got in the way of shooting some new images so I’m using up some old photos that I hadn’t posted in this before. As always, thanks to the creator of ThursdayDoors and please follow the link to Dan’s site for far more talented posts. Photo by Mike Hartley ...
The robotic spacecraft will fly by Venus seven times throughout its journey, using the planet’s gravity to bend its orbit. These maneuvers give Parker the oomph to fly ever-closer to the sun on its quest to study solar wind, the source of space weather, and its origins. ...

That little patch of rectilinear goodness is going to keep all your stuff organized, but right now it’s only showing one layer: your image, which is also its own background. (Inception!) You can separate your image from the background by clicking the padlock icon, which can be useful ...
