One of my #favorite #genres of #photography (and also #art in general) is #SliceOfLife, #unique #perspectives on #ordinary or #mundane #scenery or #objects. I just #love the #appreciation of the #world we live in. We could all use more of that kind of #thinking ourselves, I believe.

#Wikipedia: ❛❛ Developments in #scientific research show that #realworld cloaking #devices can obscure #objects from at least one #wavelength of #EM #emissions. ❜❜

#Robot has Six Degrees of Freedom
❛❛ #dimensions & #degrees of freedom are not the same thing. While they may have a similar analogy as shapes and dimensions, they are distinct #concepts. In a #3D #mechanics context, #objects can have 6 degrees of freedom, which is not the same as the 3 dimensions of #space. ❜❜

In this one we talk about negotiating shape and gesture, instrument design, and what it means to perform with computers ethically (or unethically!).
"I want you to break up into pairs and talk about lucky #objects. Later we'll be writing on the topic," Mr. Cuellar said.
Adia was paired Nayira.
"I used to have a rabbit's foot," said Nayira. "Till my dad pointed out it hadn't been so lucky for the rabbit. Now I have a fossil trilobite---something so long-lasting has to be lucky."
Adia held up flat, round #object she wore on a chain. "It's an old 5-#yen coin my great-granddad got in the 1950s. A coin with a hole!"
