Dead Sea Scrolls, Now online 09/26/2011
 The first seven Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by chance in 1947 by Bedouin of the Ta'amra tribe, in a cave (later given the name "Cave 1") near Khirbet Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. Now they are available in full detail, online. Feel the inclination to transcribe them yourself or click on each verse for a translation, this is amazing detail, enjoy. 4 Comments I LUV UX Design! 08/20/2011

The image is 280,000 x 140,000 pixels, approximately 40 gigapixels (40,000 megapixels). The photo is of the library within the Strahov Monastery in Prague, Czech Republic.

San Francisco in 1906 03/13/2011
Weeks before the earthquake & fire in San Francisco, this amazingly high quality video gives some insight to the daily life before the tragedy. You may recognize Bob Staake's illustrations from various children's books and other publications. He creates most of his elements from primitive shapes. I thought this was a very interesting albeit old school digital method of illustrating with Photoshop 3; Enjoy.Happy Holidays! 12/21/2010
