Developed by Dr. Harold Edgerton in the 1940s, the Rapatronic photographic technique allowed very early times in a nuclear explosion’s fireball growth to be recorded on film. The exposures were often as short as 10 nanoseconds, and each Rapatronic camera would take exactly one photograph.

The TED Commandments - most of these should be on peoples do’s and don’t in everyday life - in fact, these are good for people to read before coming to likemind. Here’s my favourites:

Thou Shalt Dream a Great Dream, or Show Forth a Wondrous New Thing, Or Share Something Thou Hast Never Shared Before
Thou Shalt Reveal thy Curiosity and Thy Passion
Thou Shalt Tell a Story
Thou Shalt Not Flaunt thine Ego. Be Thou Vulnerable. Speak of thy Failure as well as thy Success.
Thou Shalt Not Sell from the Stage: Neither thy Company, thy Goods, thy Writings, nor thy Desparate need for Funding; Lest Thou be Cast Aside into Outer Darkness.

UPDATE:

Antony Mayfield points to another set of ideas/rules:

Ideals beat strategies.
Open beats closed.
Connection beats transaction.
Simplicity beats complexity.
Neighborhoods beat networks.
Circuits beat channels.
Laziness beats business.
Public beats private.
Messy beats clean.
Good beats evil.

Lovely playful packaging for the Pet shop boys vinyl set. Heavyweight vinyl housed in different coloured sleeves designed to be played around with, if you don’t mind chucking them on the floor. If you do, you can keep them fresh in the perspex case.

Via Creative Review - Yes, it’s the Pet Shop Boys special boxed vinyl edition
