A Possible New Category
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007
This could turn out to be a new category in and of itself. Would it be soda-can acrobatics or LG Chocolate Phone Photography? I am not sure. What I am sure of is that the can in this picture is balancing freely by itself (without any help from the keyboard as it may appear to have at that angle). It has just the right level of liquid inside the can which gives it the right center of gravity to balance on the beveled lip as sort of a cantilever mechanism. An engineer might be able to provide a better description of why this works so, but I am a designer, which means I think it just looks cool so I take a picture of it with my techno-gadgetry and put it on my narcissistic blog.
