35mm Slides Make Literal Slide Curtains

Curtains come in all shapes and sizes and colors. They even come in sheer fabrics to let a bit of light in. But maybe you want something a little more colorful, that will the light through while looking unique. These 35mm slide curtains will do nicely.

Scott Sherwood made this colorful set of slide curtains. Getting so many images was easy since he has amassed a huge collection of images from around the world by different photographers over the years. Naturally he made curtains from his selections in his 35mm film archive.

Scott arranged the 1,152 slides by dominant color, which flow from pink to red to orange to yellow to green to blue and to purple. The slides are inside slide mounts, which are connected to each other with 7,000 metal rings and held on to a curtain rod with 36 large rings. The 5’7” by 6’ curtain took four months of work, but it looks pretty awesome, so it was worth it.

The World’s Tallest Waterslide Better End In the World’s Deepest Pool

The World’s Tallest Waterslide Better End In the World’s Deepest Pool

Either that or there’s going to be a lot of squished people needing to be scraped off the tiles at the deep end. Currently under construction at the Schlitterbahn park in Kansas City, the Meg-a-Blaster slide will open in Spring 2014, dropping people from nearly 140 feet up.

Coolest Playground Slide Ever is Attached to a Jetliner

I’ve seen some cool playground slides in my day, but this one has got to be the neatest. It is attached to a jetliner. How much fun would that be to use? In fact this would be a cool way to exit a plane at any time. I dont know about you, but I would spend all day playing on this thing.

tupolev slide

This twisty slide is mounted to a Tupolev Tu-124 located in the Ukraine, where all of the kids grow up awesome and not fearing heights at all. Cool as this thing is though, I don’t know if I would trust those supports to hold the airplane up. They don’t look all that sturdy. Then again, it makes it more of a fun danger game. Slide, then run.

Every time you make it out safely you win… Until you don’t.

Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner goes on sale for $59

Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner now available for regular sales at $60

Lomography’s Smartphone Film Scanner has reached that moment that every crowdfunding project strives for, but often seems elusive: everyday sales. The peripheral is now sitting in stock at an ordinary, post-Kickstarter $59 price. As you’d expect, the functionality remains what we were promised earlier in the year. Slot in an iPhone, or certain Android smartphones, and scanning 35mm film or a slide is just a matter of lining things up and snapping a photo with the phone’s camera. Anyone who’s sitting on a treasure trove of old photos — or is just holding on to that film SLR for dear life — can shop for the scanner at the source link.

Just Mobile talks about working with Apple and why it manufactures in Taiwan exclusively

Just Mobile talks about Apple product certification, previews its AluRack, AluBase and HeadStand

For the average Joe that have managed to stay out of the Apple circle, the Just Mobile brand might not immediately ring a bell, but chances are you would’ve come across one of its peripheral designs at some point. The only problem is unless you knew the company in the first place, you’d easily assume that the aluminum or even plastic knock-offs are just based on generic designs, because there are simply too many of them. It’s no wonder Just Mobile co-founders Nils Gustafsson and Erich Huang take imitations of all forms very personally (especially the ones they and their lawyers see at CES), but fortunately, we were spared from prolonged ranting when we visited the duo’s office in Taichung, Taiwan recently. What we were treated to instead was an insight into how an accessory maker works with Apple and why Just Mobile manufactures exclusively in Taiwan, as well as getting a preview of the upcoming AluRack, HeadStand and AluBase that are due out this month.
