He fit a 75-gram camera to a pigeon’s breast and released it 60 miles from its cote. The bird flew home along a predictable route, and a pneumatic mechanism snapped an aerial picture.</p> <p>A stunned German patent office rejected Neubronner’s first application as impossible, but by 1909 his photos were adorning postcards and winning prizes at the Paris airshow.</p>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/181128211http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/181128211Sun, 06 Sep 2009 08:41:06 -0400<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kokiig7HaN1qz7i56o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Liverpool defence</p>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/165607960http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/165607960Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:30:16 -0400<img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDqbmavx1pdisTnVEo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/148788700http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/148788700Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:22:04 -0400<img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDq7a9o1qSyPStj1po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A Map of Undersea Cables from …1901 !</p>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/146646760http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/146646760Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:34:00 -0400<img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDph1vbxxJPSmGVpXo1_400.png"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/135008154http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/135008154Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:57:02 -0400<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDp98fetmohIoYKwBo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/131666117http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/131666117Sun, 28 Jun 2009 07:38:29 -0400<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDp97x15prnijkDslo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/131662319http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/131662319Sun, 28 Jun 2009 07:24:10 -0400<img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDm1gvwbpWPBjkX1so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/94132199http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/94132199Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:13:59 -0400<img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDltwyz9q1T9EjhIyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/92472642http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/92472642Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:22:07 -0400<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDkwsaoqrjhNhWJmho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>via Ed</p>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/85354996http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/85354996Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:54:52 -0400<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDk8lvzri1eAwrb1Lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/80354453http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/80354453Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:49:00 -0500<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDj3mnwkfDpKaKp10o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/72766698http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/72766698Sat, 24 Jan 2009 04:32:09 -0500<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDimb6r0ieluIQA4io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Recently Deflowered Girl</p>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/69909857http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/69909857Mon, 12 Jan 2009 01:38:48 -0500<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDi6pcfd1nmRcO7B1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783600http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783600Thu, 01 Jan 2009 03:30:48 -0500<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDi6pbwr9Tm5ZMIP0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783563http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783563Thu, 01 Jan 2009 03:30:23 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDi6pbctfFx3ln8mTo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783531http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783531Thu, 01 Jan 2009 03:29:58 -0500<img src="http://14.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDi6pal0wdrKNMWkPo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783466http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/67783466Thu, 01 Jan 2009 03:29:22 -0500<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/wKpJ32KVDfe91ml5rKQPVwS9o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>The Observable Universe, From Top To Bottom</p>http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/55877250http://b3rn.tumblr.com/post/55877250Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:17:33 -0400
