As the First Cameraman for the United States of America, Arun Chaudhary filmed President Barack Obama all over the world. Luckily he captured these backstage moments for your viewing pleasure.
Awesome :)

Tried taking a picture of a sink draining, wound up with a picture of an eye instead.
This is very cool.
Today we are proud to introduce Photoset, a new app for creating and sharing beautiful high-res photosets on your iPhone or iPad.
Photosets have been one of our favorite additions to Tumblr. You’ve surprised us a thousand times over with your creativity. It’s hard to imagine Tumblr without photos, and we love the power a set of photos has to tell a story.
The new Photoset app is an elegant way to create photosets, even if you’re not using Tumblr. Just tap and drag to lay out your photoset. Once you’ve got it just right, post to your blog or upload to photoset.com — where it can be shared with anyone, anywhere.
We can’t wait for you to try it! Photoset is available for free in the App Store.
Cool. I like that their fake cellular network is GIF ;)

Amazing timelapse. Good music, fits well - makes a lot of difference.
Fourth of July Game Changer.
Úúú… snilld. Kannski að maður prófi þetta næst þegar maður grillar pulsur :)
Reddit interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson
Question: What do you believe will be the biggest technical innovation within the next 20 years and why?
Tyson: These are always hard to predict. Who would have thought 20 years ago that the smart phone would out-perform every handheld device ever portrayed in a science fiction story, even those taking place centuries into our future. With that caveat, I'd say machine-brain implants that connect the internet directly to our neurophysiology. That'll be fun. Perhaps then we can beat Watson on Jeopardy.
Question: If a space traveling entity approached you with an opportunity to visit any celestial object from any distance and allow you bring one scientific instrument of your choosing, where would you go and what would you bring? The size of the instrument does not matter, but keep in mind the farther away your object of choice is, the more it may have changed (i.e. if you hoped to visit the recently discovered supernova SN 2011fe, you would arrive 21 million years after the event).
Tyson: I'd bring my iPhone, as the most compact representation of modern culture there is. And I'd visit a civilization on a galaxy 65 million light years away. Assuming I can get there instantaneously, I would look back to Earth with their presumably super telescopes and witness the extinction of the dinosaurs - the light of which is just now reach them.

Pretty cool… Looks like I might have seen him in a few movies.
Moonbow: a rainbow made by the light of the moon.
Our pal Mcheung tells us all about how he shot this one this past weekend!
This weekend was the best moonbow-photographing weekend of the year!
A moonbow is essentially the same thing as a rainbow, except that it happens at night. It’s a pretty rare phenomenon that only occurs in a few places on earth.
Very cool.
