Gizmodo reader Kien Lam just sent me this beautiful video that has made me extremely jealous: a time lapse video of his year backpacking all around the world. 343 days, 17 countries over five continents reduced to just five minutes. More »

I never get tired of timelapses of New York City, but Rivers & Roads is particularly beautiful. It perfectly captures the arteries that carry the blood through this wonderful city in just one minute from just one point. More »
Just like this Ford Explorer. Not that this is a tiny little minifig-sized Ford Explorer; this is a full-sized Ford Explorer made from 382,858 Lego bricks. Thanks to the wonders of time-lapse photography, you can watch it being built in just 90 seconds. More »
Duane Keiser, an artist, painted an orange. You know, the fruit. What makes this orange special is that Keiser actually paints over the original orange to “peel” it with art. What starts as a full orange is turned into an orange slice.

Yes, yes, the time lapse is from 2009, but no matter how many wars, natural disasters, sickness, elections, scandals, and iPhone 5s get unveiled in 2011, this is what the world will be at, impervious to our stupidity and discoveries and glories and miseries and happiness and sadness and hate and love, spinning at 107,200 kilometres per hour around the Sun as it has been travelling for the last 4.5 billion years.
Every day for the past 17 years, Dan Hanna has taken two photos of himself with a custom-built rig and a couple of Ricoh film cameras. Now you can watch the video. More »
