Download 10,000 of the First Recordings of Music Ever Made, Courtesy of the University of California-Santa Barbara via Open Culture [Shared]

Long before vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs and MP3s came along, people first experienced audio recordings through another medium — through cylinders made of tin foil, wax and plastic. In recent years, we’ve featured cylinder recordings from the 19th century that allow you to hear the voices of Leo Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky, Walt Whitman, Otto von Bismarck and other historic figures. Those recordings were originally recorded and played on a cylinder phonograph invented by Thomas Edison in 1877. But those were obviously just a handful of the cylinder recordings produced at the beginning of the recorded sound era.

The image features a vintage Edison Records cylinder and its protective sleeve. The cylinder is cylindrical with a light brown color and a label that reads "EDISON RECORDS WHO ALL OVER THE WORLD." The label is ornate, with decorative elements and text in a serif font. The top of the cylinder is open, revealing a green paper insert with the text "No. 4705 Minstrel Record. Three Minutes with the Minstrels." The insert is partially pulled out, showing the text clearly. Next to the cylinder is a matching protective sleeve, also light brown, with a threaded top, indicating it was designed to fit over the cylinder. The background is black, providing a stark contrast to the objects. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Snow Crystals | Wilson Bentley via Iconic Photos [Shared]

When Wilson Bentley died in 1931, his hometown newspaper eulogized him thus: “Longfellow said that genius is infinite painstaking. John Ruskin declared that genius is only a superior power of seeing. Wilson Bentley was a living example of this type of genius.”

A fine accolade for a photographer. Born in Vermont to a family prosperous enough to gift him a microscope at his 15th birthday, Bentley, for the next half a century, would go on to perfect a process of photographing snowflakes on black velvet...

These Lifelike Paper Portraits Shine a Light on Endangered Parrots via My Modern Met [Shared]

Parrots are known for being cheerful and colorful birds with a chatty side. To spotlight these beautiful birds and the many visually arresting hues they come in, Nayan Shrimal and Venus Bird from The Paper Ark have launched The Parrot Project, in which they create lifelike paper portraits in their likeness for a good cause.

The image features a detailed, handcrafted illustration of two black cockatoos perched on a branch. The cockatoos have black feathers with yellow speckles on their heads and bright red markings on their tails. One cockatoo is holding a small red object in its beak, while the other looks on. The branch is adorned with green leaves and small buds, and two butterflies are present, one on a leaf and another near the branch. The background is a plain, light color, emphasizing the intricate details of the illustration. A hand is visible in the lower right corner, holding the branch, showcasing the miniature size of the artwork. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Vanishing Culture: Punch Card Knitting | Internet Archive Blogs

Punch cards are a fascinating binary data storage format that aren’t just history—they’re still used by knitting machines today! Thanks to the Internet Archive and other collections, we still have access to historic punch cards, but there are some technical challenges to using them in the format they’re stored in. Meet a few folx working on those challenges.

The image shows a patterned grid labeled "CARD 1." The grid is composed of numerous small squares, each containing either a black dot or being left blank. The pattern is predominantly diagonal, with clusters of black dots forming a zigzag design. The black dots are outlined in red, making the pattern more distinct. The grid is numbered from 1 to 60 on the right side, with numbers increasing from top to bottom. The pattern appears to be symmetrical along the vertical axis, with the design elements mirrored on either side. The overall layout is organized and structured, with the black dots creating a visually striking contrast against the white background.

Vintage-Style Map of the Mandelbrot Set via Kottke [Shared]

Bill Tavis designed this lovely vintage-style map of the familiar fractal shape, the Mandelbrot set. He is selling a poster version of the map, starting at the very reasonable price of $24. I don’t usually highlight the price on this sort of thing, but an unauthorized seller on Amazon was selling poor-quality counterfeits of the map and even though it wasn’t his fault, Tavis offered to replace any of the crappy maps for free. Great map, and apparently a great human who made it.

welchwrite.com/blog/2025/04/26

The image is a detailed and artistic representation of the Mandelbrot Set, a famous fractal in mathematics. The overall layout resembles a map, with various sections and labels. The central focus is the "Main Cardioid," a heart-shaped region, surrounded by intricate blue fractal patterns. The "Period 1 Main Bulb" and "Period 2 Main Bulb" are labeled, indicating different parts of the set. The image includes smaller sections labeled "Julia Medallions," showcasing various Julia sets, which are related to the Mandelbrot Set. The background features a light beige color with ornate borders and decorative elements, enhancing the vintage aesthetic. Textual elements, such as "Mandelbrot Set" and "Julia Medallions," are present, along with mathematical notations and descriptions. The image combines scientific information with artistic design, creating a visually engaging representation of complex mathematical concepts.

Lessons on How to Draw by Hokusai via Kottke [Shared]

In 1812, Japanese woodblock print artist Katsushika Hokusai, who would later become famous for his iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa prints, published a three-volume series called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing. All three volumes are available online: one, two, three. Even if you’re not in the market for drawing lessons, the pages are wonderful to flip through.

The image shows an open book with two pages filled with detailed black and white sketches. The left page features two drawings of animals, possibly dogs, with geometric shapes and lines used to outline their forms. The top drawing shows a dog with a black and white coat, sitting with a circular and oval shape around it. Below, another dog is depicted with a similar geometric approach, including a diamond shape. Japanese text is present next to each drawing. The right page contains a drawing of a mouse among grapes, with geometric shapes and lines used to depict the mouse and the grapes. The mouse is positioned on a vine with large leaves, and the grapes are clustered around it. The page also includes a hexagon and other geometric shapes, along with Japanese text. The paper appears aged, with a yellowish tint, suggesting it is an old document. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Sounds of the Forest

We are collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from all around the world, creating a growing soundmap bringing together aural tones and textures from the world’s woodlands.

The sounds form an open source library, to be used by anyone to listen to and create from. Selected artists will be responding to the sounds that are gathered, creating music, audio, artwork or something else incredible, to be presented at Timber Festival 2021.

The image is a world map with a light beige background, highlighting various countries and regions. The map is overlaid with numerous yellow circles, each containing a smiley face icon, indicating points of interest or activity related to "The Woods of the Forest." These circles are distributed across all continents, with a higher concentration in North America, Europe, and Asia. The map includes labels for major countries and oceans, such as North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Ocean. The top of the image features a dark bar with the text "The Woods of the Forest" and navigation options including "About," "Contribute," "Next Phase," and "Timber Festival." The overall layout is clean and organized, with a focus on the distribution of the yellow circles across the globe. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B
