Nuclear Transparency

Some secrets are difficult to see passively, but easy to see as a few "coincidences" are lined up. For example, did you know the Bikini was named after Bikini Atoll Nuclear testing? 07/01/1946 Bikini Atoll: First Post War Nuclear Detonation07/05/1946 Bikini Debut: named after Atomic tests. It was so obscene for the time they had to hire a stripper to model it! It became normalized after Playboy, Hollywood, and beauty pageants kept them in the public eye. By itself...

Peculiar Shocks

My cover design for Body Shocks, the body-horror story collection edited by Ellen Datlow, appeared here back in March. Now that the book is out from Tachyon I can show some of the interior design. In the earlier post I mentioned cover drafts that featured anatomical illustrations, none of which worked as well as the eyeball collage that became the final cover. The rejected pieces were better suited to the interior which combines engraved illustrations with the kind of sans-serif typography yo...

Electric Light: An Architectural History

By Sandy Isenstadt (Cambridge, MA, USA: M.I.T. Press, 2018, 292 pp.)One should probably not spend a lot of time trying to parse the title of this appealing book: it is neither a work focused on the built environment nor a history of the electric light. Instead, one might consider the author’s words that his intention is to study cases that "suggest an architectural history of spaces that have been generated or extensively reconstituted by electric light." His thesis is "the electric light cha...

Did the universe's creator hide a message in the cosmos?

Did the creator of the universe leave a hidden message in the cosmos for intelligent life? If so, scientists have yet to find it.

The CMB is the oldest light in the universe, visible across all of space. Its microwaves have been traveling since the first atoms formed out of a haze of protons and electrons that filled the universe soon after ...
