The Library has just launched Stereogranimator, a site that lets users turn our historic collection of stereographs into animated images like the one above. Read all about it in the Times and then go play! It’s the latest way we’re using technology to bring our collections to the public, following our What’s on the Menu, Biblion iPad app and map warping projects.
Caturday will never be the same …

Beautiful sunset - this picture does not even do it justice!
One good thing about snow is all the little footprints.
Oh…nothing…just inside a tent thingie in anthropologie…
Dr. Mendieta didn’t augment this butt. But damn, isn’t it nice?
Dr. Constantino Mendieta is the biggest advocate for butt augmentation in the world. Unsurprisingly, his practice is in Miami and overrun with sexy nurses with surgically sculpted asses. Butt-hungry patients fly in from all over the globe to have his steady hand in their behind, and with good reason—he literally wrote the book on butts. It’s called The Art of Gluteal Sculpting. The original idea was to interview another talented surgeon, but when Constantino heard through the grapevine that VICE was writing about butt augmentation he called us up to set the record straight.
VICE: So you consider yourself to be an artist?
Dr. Constantino Mendieta: There is no question. What I do is three-dimensional sculpting. It’s not just moving around fat—anyone can do that. My prices start at around $14,000, but you may find some plastic surgeons who will charge $4,000 for butt augmentation. The price tag is the difference between going to a hack or getting a real Picasso.
What do you think about the broke people who want the Picasso but settle for the more affordable maniac wielding a syringe filled with Fix-A-Flat?
The problem is that these victims see the butts of other people who’ve already had an underground procedure. Initially underground butt injections with stuff like silicone can look fantastic—the problem often occurs several years later. The silicone can, for example, eat away at the flesh. It’s mind boggling to me with the advent of the internet how many people think it is safe to undergo those shady procedures.
This is perfect. Might I suggest doing this workout while watching your favorite 22-minute show (not including commercials)?

Above, extracts from a gallery compiled by our fantastic picture desk. Below, an emotional farewell to Kodak, written by The Guardian’s head of photography, Roger Tooth:
I’ve wanted to write something about the imminent demise of Kodak since rumours about their bankruptcy started circulating a couple of months ago. But it wasn’t until I caught a repeat of British fashion photographer Rankin’s TV programme about Time magazine’s veteran photojournalists that something really caught my eye, taking me back to my early experience of being a photographer. It brought home what Kodak meant to me.
The documentary includes a clip of an old BBC Omnibus film about the great war photographer and Life staffer Larry Burrows, who returned time and again to Vietnam to document the war, and eventually died there. Here he was, I guess early in the morning, getting ready to go out for the day, sitting and talking about his experiences to the film crew while opening box after box of Kodak film. He was taking out those lovely, tiny, dome-topped tin canisters and chucking the boxes at his feet until it formed a veritable pile of discarded cardboard.
I guess I should say something about Kodak filing Chapter 11. Kodak walked out in Rochester a long time ago… The company executives have made many missteps over the years that have lead to this bankruptcy. They bet on a lot of products that just didn’t pan out. They could not keep one step ahead of the game.
This death rattle affords us all the opportunity to be nostalgic and lament the death of a great american company. But for those of us who have had a front row seat to this execution… today’s filing was inevitable.
