Adrenaline to the Heart

Adrenaline to Heart_800px

Here’s a short stop-motion animation I put together in honor of this day of love. I hand painted an anatomical heart using water color and highlighted the pericardial fat with oil pastels. The animation is sort of a mixture between Valentine’s Day and Pulp Fiction I suppose! The music is an excerpt from an Otis Redding Song titled “Pain in My Heart.”

Go out and love somebody!

Happy Valentine’s Day – Music from Giraffage

February 14th, 2013 | Brain

GIRAFFAGE-NEEDS-575x575

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody.  I hope you’re finding the love you need.  Here are some tracks from producer and mix-master Giraffage from Alpha Pup Records.   Charlie Yin, a 23 year-old from San Francisco, is the man behind the name.  He has a bright future.

Many think this holiday is about Tracks 1 (Close to Me), 2 (Thinking about you), or maybe 8 (Undress U), but we know it’s all about Track 3 (Money)!

 

And how about a bonus track to send you out on a swooning note (from Selebrities):

The First Artificial Heart

February 14th, 2012 | Robot

The first artificial heart was implanted by surgeon Denton Cooley on April 4, 1969, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in Houston, TX.  The recipient, Haskell Karp, lived for nearly 3 days with the artificial heart until a real human heart was available for transplant.

The heart is not on display at the National Museum of American History, but Alexis Madrigal, from The Atlantic, gained access the storage closet shown below to get a closer look and snap the photos below.  The heart sits inconspicuously above the original capillary kidney.

The heart really does look like a World War I era gas mask, but it got the job done, and it proved that artificial hearts could be used successfully as a bridge to heart transplant.

The picture shown below is a top-view showing the four major valves: aortic, pulmonary, mitral, and tricuspid.

That day in Houston will no doubt be a pivotal moment in our history toward becoming cyborgs.

Date Night Rube Goldberg

February 13th, 2012 | Robot

The folks at 2dhouse created this impressive machine in honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow.

I’m a big fan of Rube Goldberg machines and posted one of my favorites a few weeks back here.  I suggest you try something like this for your date.

  It should certainly win you some effort points at the very least.  I might set one of these up at my place just in case I ever have someone come over for drinks on a whim.
