The Fujifilm X half is a quirky, funny little camera that is actually exactly what many of us have been asking for: a digital camera that tugs on the analog heartstrings, combining the usability of the modern age with the fun of times past. The thing is, the X half isn't perfect: there are some things the team would have done differently. Also, for those who enjoyed her article and video from earlier this week, Sarah takes a few minutes to answer some questions about her recent photography excursion to Iraq, too, so you won't want to miss this episode!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
