NYPL Labs is proud to bring you the Stereogranimator, a tool for transforming historical stereographs from The New York Public Library’s vast collections into shareable 3D web formats. This site is all about your participation, so have fun with it, experiment with it, and let us know how we can improve it. In fact, this project wouldn’t even exist if it hadn’t been for a user like yourself getting creative with library collections. Here’s the story of how that happened…

NYPL Wire, well worth the follow

A musical “file” is not an item. It’s a piece of information that is stored on your computer. Providing information, although it is a useful service that can be charged for, is not like creating a tangible thing; once you share information you have no say in how the person chooses to use that information and if they wanted to give it to someone else for free. That would be like saying people who shared a secret that you told them not to tell—in a sense, copying and distributing the information you provided them— be imprisoned for the same amount of time as a carjacker. Computer files are no different. It’s all information.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE, I’M GOING TO ROLL AROUND IN A BED OF DOUGLAR FIRS IN YOUR HONOR.

One of my top ten men of all time. Part of who I now am stems from how David Lynch as an artist impacted my life when I was 11 or 12.

Adrien Brody as Salvador Dali in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris”.  This was a wonderful moment in a very amusing film for the Miniver Cheevys in all of us.
