View Suspended

"View Suspended is a stunning art installation created from the thousands of parts that make up a Honda Racing F1 car. Each of the 3200 parts of the Formula 1 car are suspended on fine wires to produce a 3D 'exploded diagram' that allows race fans the chance to get closer than ever to the engineering secrets of the world's most technically-advanced sport."

The Art of the Shiv

"A shiv is a weapon crafted from the limited resources of a prisoner's closed world. Crudely constructed from such things as spoons, shoelaces and upholstery tacks, shivs lie somewhere between the graceful and the grotesque. They're primitive, too - like outsider art, but produced deep on the inside."

Hello, Discovery

This is what it looks like to see a space shuttle docked outside your window while orbiting the Earth in a space station.

The Creative Process

DoodleBug is a community designed to share, well, doodles. They've got a neat Flash system in place that lets you see the doodles as an animation during their creation, and have put the best of them in this hall of fame.

Related: This concept isn't entirely new. We featured this incredible animation of a women being drawn from the inside out a couple of years ago. Possibly 18+.

Shots Fired

Here's what a turret looks like the moment it's fired.

Update: Here's another angle of the same shot. Thanks to all the people in the comments section for trying to determine the validity of this image, setting me straight on what kind of gun this is, and finding the second image.

Jeff Jordan is doing the album cover for the new Mars Volta album. There's lots of interesting (and slightly creepy) stuff to be found in the gallery.

Burned

"In 2001 I met a burn survivor who allowed me to photograph her. She told me that she wanted to be photographed so that people could stare at her without feeling embarrassed. It was such an extraordinary experience that a few months later I flew to a burn conference and set up a makeshift studio in a hotel room, and asked people to let me know if they would like their portraits made. I was astonished at how many people did."

Dark Sun Sizzling

"Even on a normal day, our Sun is sizzling ball of seething hot gas. Unpredictably, regions of strong and tangled magnetic fields arise, causing sunspots and bright active regions."

!= Shopped

Photographer Arin Ahnell has come up with a interesting concept. Instead of using Photoshop to alter the look of his images, he uses these odd things called "filters" that attach to the end of his lenses, giving the photographs an otherworldly appearance. Amazing!

Espresso

For troubleshooting espresso shots that aren't coming out right, some people will use a tool called a "bottomless portafilter." This will show how the shots are forming and pouring, revealing any tamping issues may cause an uneven pour. Heavy users of this device have been chopping off the bottoms of their portafilters for every day use, revealing an interesting glimpse into the creation of espresso.

Here's a couple of videos of this device in action.

This French cartoon has some of the most fantastic animation I've ever seen. It's a lot more enjoyable than the 3D stuff we're inundated with these days.

Bugs and flowers really are the reason macro lenses are still popular, huh?
