Dreamland: Ever try explaining something you dreamed? Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Well, it's not supposed to. Jesse Reklaw is an artist from Berkeley, California, who draws four-panel comic strips of peoples' dreams. His site is called Slow Wave and it features some of the most eerie and beautifully surreal artwork on the Internet. There's one about a guy who has a pair of viruses that cause cannibalism and an addiction to Campbell's Soup. Another involves insulting, then making sweet love to, actor and gun nut Charlton Heston. All real, all subconscious at www.slowwave.com.

Pulp photo: In communist Czechoslovakia, many years ago, a couple of photo geeks developed a functional origami camera that relies on the renaissance-era principle of the camera obscura. Called the Dirkon, from the Czech word for folding, it's a 35-mm camera you can print out and use that takes remarkably good pictures. Hit ctrl-P at www.pinhole.cz/en/pinholecameras/dirkon_01.html.
