Rihanna's Fashion Evolution

Rihanna has had a drastic journey from unknown Barbados girl to international household name and her image and fashion sense has gone through a change that has been every bit as radical. Since 2005, the Barbadian pop princess has morphed from a stone-washed-denim-skirt-and-long-hair-weave-wearing teenager to a high fashion diva with a punk edge; one of the greatest transformations in music style history. The photo gallery below shows the many faces and fashions of Rihanna through the years.

Fantastic Photos Taken With a Fisheye Lens

Today we’re going to focus on a wonderfully distorted area of photography: fisheye shots. Fisheye lenses are essentially extreme wide angle lenses that were originally developed for meteorological purposes but are now used by all sorts of photographers. As you can see in the images below, the applications are endless and are seldom boring! Hopefully you’ll leave feeling inspired to pick up your own fisheye lens or a (considerably cheaper) fisheye converter.

Scarlett Johansson Unleashes Her Black Widow Booty

Here’s yet another new Iron Man 2 promo shot of Scarlett Johansson as her Black Widow character from the latest edition of Famous magazine, and as you can see, she’s looking smashingly bootylicious in her skin-tight costume. Heck, if this shot is any indication, we’re going to be drooling over Scarlett’s shwingtastic curves during every Black Widow scene… but we already knew that the second she was cast in the flick, right? Enjoy!

Nature Photography That Looks Like Fake But Aren’t

Some of the most beautiful examples of nature photography that looks like fake but they arn’t. You might have not seen these beautiful pics before.

Raising the Roof: Ford's Skyliner 'Retrac'

As enjoyable as convertibles can be on beautiful, sunny summer days, they can be a terrible burden any other time -- drafty, noisy, and vulnerable. We suspect that anyone who's ever owned one has at least occasionally wished they could magically transform it into a regular coupe on days when the sun is too hot or the wind too cold. Fifty years ago, the Ford Motor Company offered a car that could do exactly that, creating a piece of mechanical showmanship that has only recently been surpassed: the Skyliner retractable hardtop.

Michigan's Abandoned Dinosaur Amusement Park Is Way Creepy

Abandoned amusement parks are eerie. But an abandoned park filled with fiberglass dinosaurs? Eerie as shit. In Irish Hills, Michigan, you can find one such saurian-filled ghost-town: The Prehistoric Forest. It's like Jurassic Park, but the T-Rex eats your soul. The Prehistoric Forest reportedly opened in 1963 and closed in 1999. At one point, this eight-acre property had a waterfall, a smoking volcano, and a waterslide. Now it just has dilapidated dinosaurs by sculptor James Q. Sidwell, fences and motion sensors (to keep out vandals), and the ghostly laughter of unborn dinosaur babies lurking around every corner. This is definitely one of those places that's more unsettling in the daytime. From the somewhat outdated information I've seen around the web, I'm guessing The Prehistoric Forest is still for sale. If I were an eccentric billionaire, I'd purchase the place, buy even more decaying dinosaurs, and just let nature run its course. Then I'd rent it to the producers of Syfy's Saturday night creature features and make a killing.

One Lap of America – Part 3: The Road Back Home

We’ve got less than a week to go before the start of the One Lap of America and to say I’m scrambling to get ready would be an understatement. The Charger is ready (for the most part) to take on another 4000 mile run and do battle with some of the meanest and fastest cars in the country. We’ll not only be hitting 9 different race tracks, but we’ll be driving some 15-18 hrs. per day. This is one hell of a haul ladies and gentleman and because of this we’re not going to waste the opportunity. We’ve teamed up with the VA Palo Alto Health Care System to help our wounded Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. My co-driver for this event will be international automotive importer Chris Smith. Both cars have been completely vinyl wrapped to reflect the spirit of what we are trying to accomplish and to help us raise awareness for our Veterans.

Iron Mountain’s Energy Efficient Bunker

Underground “nuke proof” data bunkers have been used in commercial storage for decades. In recent years, subterranean bunkers have emerged as a growing niche in the data center ecosystem. Perhaps no company reflects that transition as well as Iron Mountain, a traditional leader in document storage that is now building a digital storage empire. The flagship facility in the company’s push into the data center sector is a huge underground facility in western Pennsylvania. Iron Mountain bought the former limestone mine, which houses 1.7 million square feet of space, from the National Underground in 1998. It has developed a section of the mine into an energy-efficient data center known as Room 48. Located more than 200 feet underground, Room 48 takes advantage of its subterranean environment. The mine’s temperature remains steady at 55 degrees and the imestone walls to absorb heat eliminate the need for typical data center cooling systems that consume large amounts of power.
