DIY photo project site Photojojo has a quick and simple tutorial for customizing your fish tank with your own photo backdrops.

The process is very simple, requiring an appropriately sized photo and some double-sided tape. This could be a fun project to do with the kids on Thanksgiving or over the weekend; a nice winter holiday scene for Goldie could be the perfect compliment to your holiday decorations. — Adam Pash

In Wu Han China, people have been purchasing tattoo’d fish. Customers can chose from many different Chinese characters such as “Wealth, Dragon, Longevity, Happiness…”

These tropical fish have been very popular as people buy them for Fengshui and they are supposed to bring you good luck.

Link. Now somebody tell me how the heck you tattoo a fish.

Mark Frauenfelder:
Bibliodyssey has an excellent gallery of 18th century engravings from ‘Die Saugthiere in Abbildungen’ at Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire de Lyon (named as ‘Histoire naturelle des quadrupèdes’.

The absurd rendering of many of the animals comes about because the engravers/artists working on the project did not actually see the animals. They had to rely on descriptions and their imagination and, as was the fashion of the time, the animals were placed in contrived settings and often given human facial qualities, which only serves to heighten the sense of bizarre. And thankful we are too.

It’s been a long time coming but I’m happy to see true 1080p video recording technology finally trickling down to the consumer level. The Canon HV10 is based on HDV technology which allows a full 1920×1080 signal (yay!) to be captured to a standard DV tape which are almost as common today as VHS tapes were a few years ago.

Canon claims the HV10 is the world’s smallest HDV camera and looking at the shot there it does appear to slightly edge out Sony’s smallest offerings in the HDV market. The HV10 also allows you to record video in the standard 480 NTSC mode plus everything else you’d expect from a modern camcorder like fast auto-focus, image stabilization and still shot capabilities.

The HV10 is currently available on Amazon.com for what I consider to be a pretty reasonable $1,019.49.

Its Thanksgiving Day in the US, and a flock of wild turkeys has been sighted trying to make an escape by… train. These turkeys were noticed yesterday waiting on a station platform in Ramsey, New Jersey, about 20 miles from New York City. Were they waiting for an outbound train to escape their fate as the traditional dinner entree, or were they trying to make it to New York for the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade?

Japan Gadgets

This refrigerator is one of many new home electronics displayed at National Electronics’ Invention Station in Tokyo, a new campaign hosted by three pretty Japanese anchorwomen. It not only displays all your gastronomical delights for everyone to see, but also has a super-low bottom shelf for easy in-and-out of heavy items, and fits more stuff than your fat uncle’s belly.

Good god, do you think this Big Ben LED Wall Clock is going to be big enough? Well, after you’ve smoked a couple of Thanksgiving doobs you’re probably going to need a timepiece this big to tell you that it’s already 4:20, dude.

The thing is an expansive three feet wide and looks to us like it could double as a scoreboard at a football stadium. It’s all yours for $94.95. – Charlie White
