Photo Transfer Edge Effect. I've had quite a few emails since posting the Copper Rivet tutorial asking how I created the stitched text in my final image. So in this Photoshop tutorial I'll show you how to convert text to a path and how to stitch that path using a custom brush set. Posted In Text Effects. If you’re playing along at home you should download the brush set. Before we get started. Lets go ahead and begin by opening a new document in Photoshop. Mine is 540×300 pixels at 72ppi. It’s now t...

Reality Conditions: On not taking a stance

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2006/11/on-not-taking-stance.html

Wednesday, November 01, 2006. On not taking a stance. After a typically excellent explanation of the hierarchy of energy scales that is crucial to allow life as we know it to exist in the universe, Sean Carroll says. The kind of thing I was going to say in a post scheduled to write one of these days, but not on the fine-tuning problem but on the interpretation of quantum mechanics. There is still much we don't know, and not only just "facts" but also whole realsm of nature we do not know. Someone might s...

Reality Conditions: Relational Quantum Mechanics

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2006/04/relational-quantum-mechanics.html

Thursday, April 13, 2006. A very interesting paper on the interpretation of quantum mechanics has appeared yesterday:. Matteo Smerlak, Carlo Rovelli. The article attempts to explain the EPR experiment. Using the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics championed by Rovelli (presented here. A2 (with respect both to a system B and to an external system C) and then interacts only with system B, relative to C the global state may be now I. From the external point of view no change has occurred: relati...

Reality Conditions: Atheism, Religion, and Rationality; or, do you think that all those who believe in God are stupid?

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2006/10/atheism-religion-and-rationality-or-do.html

Monday, October 30, 2006. Atheism, Religion, and Rationality; or, do you think that all those who believe in God are stupid? When I was 17 years old I went with some high school friends on a holiday to a sort of seaside resort, where one of us had somehow won a week staying as prize for something. We passed most of the days playing paddle (a sport popular in Argentina and unknown everywhere else; the closest thing I found on Wikipedia is plataform tennis. So what do I think? I tend to fall more into the ...

Reality Conditions: Book Review: Paul Davies,

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2007/01/book-review-paul-davies-cosmic-jackpot.html

Saturday, January 20, 2007. Book Review: Paul Davies, Cosmic Jackpot. It feels strange to be asked by his publishers to review a book by Paul Davies. Many years ago, it was partially the fascination provoked by his popularisation books (especially Superforce. Which made me wish to study physics. It is somehow for me like coming back full cycle, if you understand what I mean. The main theme in Cosmic Jackpot. Is this just a brute fact of the universe, or something that cries out for an explanation? I susp...

Reality Conditions: Quantum Mechanics in words of one syllable

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2007/05/quantum-mechanics-in-words-of-one.html

Tuesday, May 08, 2007. Quantum Mechanics in words of one syllable. Some think Quantum Mechanics is impossible to explain in simple terms. To refute this idea I have composed this piece, which is inspired both by the Theory of Relativity in words of four letters or less. And by Philosophy in words of one syllable. I have not used any kind of dictionary or thesaurus. In this piece we will talk of small things and how they are. How small, you ask? Well, close to the scale of Planck’s h. For that we use a ru...

Reality Conditions: Landscape chat

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2006/05/landscape-chat.html

Monday, May 15, 2006. Friend: what is your position with respect to the concept of landscape in string theory? Alejandro: well, it is clearly a blow to the ambitions some had in ST of attaining a unique possible theory to recover the standard model, but I don’t see it as something that necessarily transforms it into a pseudoscience unconnected with reality, as some extremists say. A: so, I dunno. A: what are people saying in your university? F: there are people that are betting on the concept of landscape.

Reality Conditions: An examination of Dawkins’ “Ultimate 747” argument

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2007/06/examination-of-dawkins-ultimate-747.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. An examination of Dawkins’ Ultimate 747 argument. Richard Dawkins’ master argument against the existence of God is spelled out in the fourth chapter of The God Delusion. Which is confidently titled Why there almost certainly is no God . It may be summarised as follows:. 1- God is supposed to be an ultimate explanation for everything there is in the universe, and especially (according to design arguments) for its organized complexity and its friendliness to life. But then Dawkins ar...

Reality Conditions: Book review: Neal Stephenson,

http://realityconditions.blogspot.com/2007/03/book-review-neal-stephenson-baroque.html

Monday, March 19, 2007. Book review: Neal Stephenson, The Baroque Cycle. For a review of The Baroque Cycle. And I receive specific requests for posts so infrequently that I feel complied to oblige. So here it goes:. Though I know this only by reading reviews as I haven’t read (yet) Stephenson’s most famous book. The first book of the cycle, Quicksilver. The second book, The Confusion. In The System of the World. Though an immense attention is given to accurate historical details, the novel does not feel ...
