Monroe’s first ever “Dog Walk-a-thon” is Sunday, June 12, at the Millponds in Monroe and part of the Eagle Scout project of Noah Sequeiros of Boy Scout Troop 440. His project is the construction of a new dog park next to the town’s senior citizen center that will provide a water spigot, lighting, public seating, waste bins, ground covering and complementary bags for the disposal of the dog waste.
Minutiaecoins itself as the “anti-social” social app. It challenges conventional design by restricting users to just one minute of usage per day and anonymizes shares in an attempt to encourage users to “embrace the boring and mundane.” Four years ago, the “Anti-Social” photo project “Minutiae” was released through the Apple App Store. Since then, it has amassed a modest 25,000 downloads, which may not seem like a lot but is still impressive given the original art project’s budget was just $10,000 and featured no outside investment.
Camera accessory manufacturer Fotodiox has published a video that explains how to make a digital camera obscura that can be used for both video and photo capture made from a box, a magnifying glass, and frosted plastic. The build is promised to be super-simple and results in an unusual video capture device as well as a fun photography tool. While the photos and videos can be digitized by simply taking a photo of the rear of the device, Sean Anderson also shows how to make “true” digitized versions of the photos using a document scanner.
