A spectacular, zoomable 16GB image of the 15th century Incan ruin of Machu Picchu in Peru.
Combining 1920 individual shots taken by a small team of photographers using a robot camera, it’s the highest resolution image of the whole site ever taken.
Geek off on the massive processing power, rendering and upload times here.

Taken here. Old Street, Malahide [Dublin]. Someone has left a lot of stuff in an alleyway, and the neighbours are unhappy about it.

Sage last minute advice for leaving cert students currently being doled out on the twitter machine by ‘Sylvia Plath’.
And look how well she turned out.

The people behind the 10 Days In Dublin festival end their Fund It campaign tomorrow.
The festival includes all types of art or performance: music, comedy, theatre, film, painting, sculpture and what have you.
If you can’t help you may want to visit one or all of the 10 days between July 4-13.
10DID sez
This year we will have over 200 acts performing all around the capital in venues ranging from the The Workman’s, Smock Alley and The Irish Writers’ Centre.
Over the last two years the 10DID team [Dan Bergin, Rob Kearns, Jack Berrill and Colm McNally] have stewarded 10 Days in Dublin from having a relatively small programme into the largest open format festival in Ireland.
This year we are looking to break new ground by providing dedicated supports for Film, Visual Arts & Spoken Word.
We need you to help us help the artists showcase the vibrant work that this city has to offer and continue to make 10DID the only true showcase for all art in the city.
The festival’s programme will be launched online this evening and the Fund It campaign closes at midday TOMORROW.
