At last week's FOO Camp (a weekend-long nerd retreat organzied by Tim O'Reilly), there was a workshop on DIY high-speed flash photography, which is used to capture such amazing sights as soap bubbles bursting, bullets passing through glass, etc. For the workshop, they had a group of volunteers pop balloons with pins while the DIY high-speed cameras snapped away. Here's the Flickr set of the results, which are amazing and eldritch.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
