Aug 1, 2012 5:20 PM   I love these images—created by photographer Clay Lipsky—and their premise: "Imagine if the advent of the atomic era occurred during today's information age. Tourists would gather to view bomb tests, at the 'safe' distances used in the 1950s, and share the resulting cell phone photos" on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. When I was a little kid I saw The Day After . I had nightmares for months and lived terrified, thinking that nuclear war could happen at any time (War Games only reinforced that thought). But now these mushrooms are so iconic that, even while I know they are terrible for the planet and its inhabitants, I have a tiny secret desire to watch one in real life. And instagram the hell out of it with the tag #uraniumfireworks. Perhaps they should open an atomic park in Bikini Island, where tourists can go and see simulated nuclear bombs detonating in the distance. Until that happens, enjoy Lipsky's photomerging work in his Atomi...

Jul 30, 2012 1:35 PM   Facebook's photo interface is getting a lovely, much-needed makeover. Starting today, it's rolling out a much cleaner layout, with a mosaic view off all your images as well as three simple tabs at the top of the page—one for photos of you, another for all the pics you've posted, and another for your albums. This is the first significant change to photos in quite a while, and we think it's a pretty good one.
