Human Eye Camera « FOUR FIFTHS DESIGN
An interesting concept: What would it look like if our eye could output RAW images? The author stitches photos using knowledge of our eye's optics to demonstrate... Would be really fun to do a series using a GigaPan or something like that, but it would be easier if my eye just output DNG files.

"The whole thing is purely conceptual for now; it involves certain bacteria and ice nucleation and a lot of other science-y sounding words and phrases I don't understand.

MCE-5’s Variable Compression Gas Engine Promises Power and Efficiency - PickupTrucks.com News
Interesting article on variable compression motors from a french company... Claims are outlandish, but the idea (varying cylinder compression) makes sense... Might even enable HCCI engines that have been in development for decades.
