Given the high number of views, I am obviously not the first one to talk about this stunning stop motion video.
They shot 60,000 pictures, developed 9,600 prints and then again shot over 1,800 pictures. And apparently without any post production! Thanks to all the stop motion artists who inspired us. Stunning, right?
(thank you Markus)

A lightning strike recorded at 9000 frames per second. The action across time scales displayed in this video is amazing. One strike hovers in the frame almost the entire time while other hundreds of other strikes flicker in and out in single frames. Tags: physics science video weather

Can you imagine how tranquil this tropical paradise in Bali must be? The bamboo bridge that’s hanging right above the river looks like the perfect spot to spend a (technology-free) afternoon.
This hidden gem is owned by Linda Garland, an Irish designer who has lived in Bali since the early 70’s. She fell in love with the land and for the last 25 years she has been slowly planting,...
High off Baltimore Pandemic and Yellow Tops, I believe we promised a release candidate shortly after RailsConf. As things usually go in open source, we gorged ourselves on fixes and improvements instead. But all to your benefit. We’ve had 842 commits by 125 authors since the release of the last beta! Now it’s time to just say good is good enough, otherwise we could keep on with this forever. So...

I learned this the hard way.
Today on MBA Mondays we are going to talk about another form of costs; Sunk Costs.
Sunk Costs are time and money (and other resources) you have already spent on a project, investment, or some other effort. They have been sunk into the effort and most likely you cannot get them back.

Cristian Zuzunaga zasłynął z pikselowej sofy, dywanu i foteli (można je zobaczyć poniżej). Teraz we współpracy z magazynem Wallpaper i firmą Hastens zaprojektował pikselowe łóżko i pościel. Bardzo mi się podoba ten pomysł! Ale o mojej słabości do pikseli wiedzą wszyscy :) A czy Państwu najnowszy projekt młodego projektanta przypadł do gustu?

I’m doing a keynote presentation today at the Geo Loco Conference in San Francisco. In putting together the visuals for my talk, I wanted to show my Foursquare checkins from my recent trip to europe on google maps.
So a little googling around led me to this post which explains how to do it:

‘Spicy’
What is spicy?
I love spicy food in Argentina. I hate spicy food in the states.
Spicy in Argentina = Mild in the states.

Can you think of another one?

Eco-friendly is in! With all the global warming issues threatening the world today, ‘going green‘ becomes the keyword as everyone around us scurry to do their part to save our planet. It shouldn’t be surprising to us to see that the world is moving towards the direction of environmental friendliness as we see more and more green products in our everyday lives, all for the sake of preserving...
The first revolution hit when people who made stuff started to discover that information was often as valuable as the stuff itself. Knowing where something was or how it performed or how it interacted with you can be worth more than the item itself.
Frito Lay dominates the snack business because of the information infrastructure they built on top of their delivery model. 7 Eleven in Japan...
