Photographers do some crazy things to get the perfect shot.   

Nevertheless, this photographer's approach to getting water droplets behind his model was innovative (and pretty funny).

I call it "an elegant use of brute force."

It's hard to argue with results … and sometimes the answer doesn't have to be creative (it just has to work).

It's the same with modern computing.  We can perform better and faster than ever before, and a lot of it is because of prettier code, and smarter tools, and more skilled employees.  But, sometimes, what it takes is an elegant use of brute force!

Onwards.
