VICKSBURG, MISS. — As the swollen crest of the Mississippi River makes its way toward Vicksburg, Miss., this week, the town is already on high alert. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO AND LIVE UPDATES Some riverfront casinos and port facilities are already submerged, and residents in low-lying neighborhoods have already been flooded out for days. Much of Vicksburg sits high atop a bluff. But the areas on the outskirts of town have felt the full force of the unprecedented river levels. In one neighborhood south of town, resident Austin Hynum ferried his dogs back and forth on a flatboat to his front door. Over the course of three days last week, Hynum and his neighbors scrambled to hire contractors to jack up their trailer homes high enough to avoid the rising waters.

May 17, 2011 No CommentProjecting Super8 film is a largely unnecessary hassle these days, but those words are clearly meaningless to camera nut Friedemann Wachsmuth. His painstakingly constructed Lego projector runs at a rickety 24fps without mangling celluloid, and with only the most minor use of non-Lego components (lens, lamp, spindles, bah who’s counting?). The contraption serves no purpose other than to hurl photons of pure geek passion at white-ish walls, and previous Lego viewfinders and shutter releases are mere pecks on the cheek by comparison. Turn up your volume before you hit the video because the rattliness of this thing is all part of the love.
