Korean parents all make their kids practice an instrument from a very young age because they all want a musical prodigy. To someone who grew up in Korea, the only weird thing about that video is that there weren't also toddler fan dancers.

I think someone at TED gave a talk on it (or rather, the natural advancement of the concept) last year. They envisioned a future where your entire life is integrated into a game of point collection and achievements. Getting a badge upon reading all of the Harry Potter novels, for example, or a badge for sleeping a certain number of hours in your lifetime. There's a quasi-philosophical problem with it that you can currently see in "achievement" gaming in general, namely that the actual act of what you're doing is subsumed under the naked pursuit of achievements - the knock against something like collecting all the little trinkets hidden away in an open world game like Brutal Legend or Crackdown is that they're the gaming equivalent of empty calories - they add nothing to the experience, they're just a time sink.

Sparkler. Look closer and you can see the guy's faint imprint across the breadth of the bat signal where he moved. It's probably also shopped to some degree.

fozmo · « **Reply #1948 on:** 13 Jul 2010, 00:13 »

I want to believe so badly that it is completely legit, and it looks like it could be. I haven't seen that many 'shops in my time, and someone else might be able to tell from the pixels (or from actually knowing photography), but it looks like he set up about a dozen sparklers beforehand, lit them one at a time and traced them across the image he had in his mind, one per smooth curve. You can see the lighter in his hand, and the trails from the sparklers as they're dropped, at the end of their life, to the ground, where you can see a few bounce before they burn out entirely. Judging that the life of a sparkler is about 30 seconds, it was probably about a 10-minute exposure, with the last (or first) few minutes occupied by him just standing in the center stock-still.

I'm not sure why I care so much about this particular picture and its "realness," especially considering my usual lurkiness, except that it's past 3am here, and I have homework I should be doing. Thanks for the distraction, internet!
