Lynching photography in America. A disturbing historical record: Searching through America's past for the last 25 years, collector James Allen uncovered an extraordinary visual legacy: photographs and postcards taken as souvenirs at lynchings throughout America. With essays by Hilton Als, Leon Litwack, Congressman John Lewis and James Allen, these photographs have been published as a book – "Without Sanctuary" by Twin Palms Publishers.

Phillip lives the active geek life. Phillip Torrone is my favorite geek. Here he shows off his new shades with monitor built in. It connects to a Pocket PC with a video out card.

The glasses cost $500. [The Scobleizer -- Geek Aggregator]
