GRADIENTS FOREVER


The era of t-shirts has ended for me, I think, but if I were to drape myself in one, it'd be ~75% along the lines of Rafael Rozendaal's Intotime.com. Sort of a James Ferraro x Unicorn Kid fever dream in XS cotton. The entire netstyl.es catalogue, I imagine.

SELF-GUIDED

Sandia Labs have developed a self-guided bullet that can hit laser-designated targets a mile away. Then they took pictures.

"Sandia researchers have invented a dart-like, self-guided bullet for small-caliber, smooth-bore firearms that could hit laser-designated targets at distances of more than a mile (about 2,000 meters). The four-inch-long bullet has actuators that steer tiny fins that guide it to its target.

A tiny light-emitting diode, or LED, attached to a bullet shows a bright path during a nighttime (sic) field test that proved the battery and electronics could survive the bullet's launch."

The result is an RL James Roper painting.
