If you're feeling "cleared for weird," peep the intricate, disturbing paintings of Ryohei Hase , all painted in Photoshop . The UI Resource Center features a long and detailed interview with the team that designed Iron Man's heads-up display . Semi-political strangeness: Politicians often serve as pincushions, but it's rare that they're actually made of pins, as in this Thumbtack Obama . [ Via ] Gene Tempest's long but interesting essay covers the Posters of Paris '68 , talking (among other things) about how the French artists played on memories of Nazi collaboration. "Did United Artists doctor a photo of anti-Hitler plotter Claus von Stauffenberg to make him look more like the Top Gun actor?" asks the Guardian . [ Via ]  (Even weirder: My wife just glanced at the image and said, "I thought that was you for a second.") Designer Marian Bantjes has been producing great stuff lately: Her Design Ignites Change is a limited-edition, laser-cut poster that dramatically changes appearance under different conditions.  Proceeds benefit kids orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Kenya. [ Via ] In Love Stories she creates a riot of great type--some of it edible! ...

The Office of Naval Research held its annual partnership with industry conference last week here in Washington, DC. The envelop-pushing Navy lab is particularly keen on developing “game changing” laser beam and hypervelocity rail gun weapons. Much of the available funding is for early phase modeling and simulation. Some of ONR’s high-priority research areas include: Solid-State Fiber Laser. Defined by ONR as: “A laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium and thulium.” Okay. ONR says a fiber laser is the way to go for a 100 kW laser weapon that could fit into aircraft pods. Free Electron Laser. A shipboard point defense weapon, the laser will fight off swarms of both high end anti-ship cruise missiles and low-tech, explosive laden small boats. The trick will be developing controllable laser beam strength for “graduated lethality and speed of light engagement.” An Innovative Naval Prototype program is scheduled to begin in 2010. High-Power Microwave Directed Energy Weapons. A focused microwave beam transmits high levels of energy via concentrated radio waves that will knock out computers, sensors, most anything electronic. So far, ranges have been limited by... ...

Despite some initial problems, the leading GaAs wafer fabs in the US are now reaping the advantages of a switch to laser dicing systems that are displacing scribe-and-break equipment. But those yet to change to the laser process can learn a lot from TriQuint Semiconductor's experiences both good and bad, discovers Michael Hatcher. ...
