PillCam is Like a GoPro For Your Colon

0pillcam.jpg

The PillCam is designed for, as the AP puts it, “patients who have had trouble with the cringe-inducing colonoscopy procedure,” which we’d imagine is just about everybody. The pill-sized camera doesn’t invade your butt but instead goes in from the other end, and once you’ve swallowed it, it starts beaming high-speed photos of your insides to a device on your waist as it makes its way towards your waste. Then the doc checks the resultant video out, and uploads it to his Facebook or whatever, and you didn’t even have to take your pants off.

Now that the PillCam has received FDA clearance, it’s set to become a sort of GoPro for your colon. Aren’t you excited to see the fun PillCam videos people will clog YouTube with? Great, because we’ve got one after the jump! I would have put it before the jump but I don’t want to get fired! Enjoy!

Manhattanhenge Meets Magritte in Peter Wegner’s Inverted Cityscapes

UpsideDownNYC-Comp2.jpg

In a twist on the Tao tenet of emptiness, New York City is a place where empty space can be worth more than anything that one might fill it with—so goes the real estate industry in our fair city. Yet overdevelopment is all the more reason for urbanites to appreciate negative space as respite from the never-ending crowds. Whether or not you dwell in a concrete jungle, it’s a pleasant surprise to have the chance to appreciate a bustling neighborhood’s negative architectural space in from an unexpected perspective.

New York City-based artist Peter Wegner took to the urban streets and turned the city’s famed cityscape upside down to unveil his own natural—and otherwise invisible—inverted constructions.

Amos Chapple’s Photographs of the Coldest Town on Earth

0amoschapple-001.jpg

Globetrotting photographer Amos Chapple has shot in sixty countries, eventually working his way up to be named Cathay Pacific’s Travel Photographer of the Year for ’09. More recently, New Zealand native Chapple photographed a region with weather very opposite from that of his home country: Oymyakon, Russia, where the average winter temperature is negative-58 Fahrenheit (negative-50 Celsius). As Chapple told Weather.com, “occasionally my saliva would freeze into needles that would prick my lips,” and “focusing the lens would sometimes be as challenging as opening a pickle jar.”

0amoschapple-002.jpg

Viewing these photos officially means you can never complain about being cold ever again. The temperature is so brutal that Oymyakon residents’ lives are structured around surviving it, with inconveniences aplenty. For example: No wearing eyeglasses outdoors, unless you want them to stick to your skin. Even worse, there’s no indoor plumbing. It’s impossible to keep underground pipes from not freezing, so guess where you’ll go when you need to use the bathroom:

Then there’s the gas situation: When you stop your car, to run into a store for instance, you cannot turn the car off, or it won’t start again. So everyone leaves their cars running (except at night, when they’re parked in heated garages)…
