Free "Secrets of Digital Night Photography" Webcast from O'Reilly Author Harold Davis

In a letter to his brother Theo, the great artist Vincent van Gogh wrote, "It often seems to me that the night is much more alive and richly colored than the day." The advent of digital photography has revolutionized the practice of night photography because a digital sensor can record the spectacular colors of the night. These colors are created by light waves in spectrums that are invisible to the naked human eye. For the first time we can truly "see" the world of the night around us.

Van Gogh and the Colours of the Night

The Van Gogh Museum and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York are collaborating on Van Gogh and the colours of the night. It is the first exhibition to be dedicated to Vincent van Gogh's representations of the evening and night, a theme which recurs throughout his oeuvre. Celebrated works from international collections will include The starry night (MoMA), Eugene Boch (Musee d'Orsay) and The potato eaters (Van Gogh Museum). Van Gogh and the colours of the night is the first collaborative project between the Van Gogh Museum and MoMA and organized by Joachim Pissarro (Adjunct Curator of MoMA, Bershad Professor of Art History and Director of the Hunter College Galleries) and Sjraar van Heugten (head of Collections of the Van Gogh Museum).

Blog Buzz: the Verdict on Last Night's Obama-McCain Debate, Another Strategy Change, and the New Mortgage Proposal

Politico has declared it the "worst debate in history," but bloggers still had plenty to say about last night's town-hall showdown between Barack Obama and John McCain. The consensus among liberal and conservative bloggers is that Obama won, prevailing against McCain with his professorial manner, coherent answers, and his calm, presidential demeanor. Despite expectations that the town-hall format would favor McCain, he did just OK. Liberal bloggers say he seemed "clumsy and unsure of himself," failed to shake up or change the direction of his flailing campaign, and had some "whoppers" throughout the night. Conservative bloggers say he was good but it "wasn't enough," and he failed to make Obama seem dangerous. Both liberals and conservatives agree Tom Brokaw was a subpar moderator who put a damper on the town-hall aspect of the debate.

6.7 Meter Telescope To Capture 30 Terabytes Per Night

Lumenary7204 writes "The Register has a story about the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a project to build a 6.7 meter effective-diameter ground-based telescope that will be used to map some of the faintest objects in the night sky. Jeff Kantor, the LSST Project Data Manager, indicates that the telescope should be in operation by 2016, will generate around 30 terabytes of data per night, and will 'open a movie-like window on objects that change or move on rapid timescales: exploding supernovae, potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids, and distant Kuiper Belt Objects.' The end result will be a 150 petabyte database containing one of the most detailed surveys of the universe ever undertaken by a ground-based telescope. The telescope's 8.4 meter mirror blank was recently unveiled at the University of Arizona's Mirror Lab in Tucson.

Convention Stars, McCain's 'Prickly' Interview

Both Bill Clinton's and Joe Biden's speeches last night at the convention earned solid marks from most liberal bloggers. They praise Biden's sincerity and ability to appeal to the problems of average Americans and Clinton's oratory skills and wholehearted support for Obama. At the Weekly Standard, bloggers think Biden made a better case for Obama than Clinton, who they think did not focus enough on Obama's past accomplishments. One Huffington Post blogger thinks that Clinton missed the chance to attack McCain on foreign policy, an issue that Biden addressed more effectively. Conservative bloggers eagerly point out a couple of mistakes Biden made in his speech. The real hit of the night among liberal bloggers, however, was John Kerry, who gave a "golden speech" and "delivered some of the night's most memorable lines.

NYT Techie Night Life Reprogrammed

securitas writes "Almost a decade after the Internet bubble collapsed, the New York Times reports on the revival of the Silicon Alley technology social scene — with a twist. It's now about substance. Gone are the "glitzy club ... minor celebrities, go-go dancers, an open bar and pricey giveaways" in favor of unconferences, Ignite, Pecha Kucha, ideas and 'a night life that involves actually talking to creative people doing exciting things.' Most major cities have a geek social scene like the NYC Soldering Championship [video link] featured in the article." Not surprisingly (for anyone who reads O'Reilly's Make magazine), Bre Pettis is one of the event organizers mentioned.
