A Breathing Earth - CometBird Here's a view looking at one year of seasonal transformations on Earth. Made possible by the tremendous folks of the NASA Visible Earth team, I downloaded the twelve cloud-free satellite imagery mosaics of Earth ("Blue Marble Next Generation") at each month of the year. I wrapped them into some fun projections then stitched them together into a couple animated gifs... Don't click this small version or this tiny version. Click here to see the irrationally large version (8.9 MB). Don't waste your time with this boring small version or this lame tiny version. I of course had some expectation of what I would see as a result of animating these frames. Why? Of course there are the global characteristics of climate and the nature of land to heat and cool more rapidly than water. But, overall, to me it looks like breathing.

Oak Outliner Is Simple and Powerful Online Outliner Intuit® | Website Building Software & Website Design How to Sync iTunes Across All Your Computers with Dropbox @Madrilenyo: iTunes gets really picky about this stuff. While I'm not 100% sure it won't work, if the path is even slightly different between Macs it'll screw things up in a huge way. I assumed this would be the case between Mac and Windows and didn't test it explicitly because of all the problems I had to fix when I made a mistake between Macs. I've also read on several sites that it doesn't work, so I played it safe on that one. If you're syncing between Macs and Windows PCs, there's something more complex you can try. @Madrilenyo: @Madrilenyo: I'm using a single library on two networked machines. Host machine: 1 - Create a directory to put your iTunes library in. 2 - Share it on the network 3 - Map a drive letter to it, say Drive X: 4 - Start iTunes and point it at drive X: to create a new library, or migrate your existing library to X: Guest machine, Also map drive X: to //host_machine/shared_folder (whatever your machine name and share are called)

Western-backed resolution on Syria doomed? Published time: January 27, 2012 11:25 Edited time: January 28, 2012 08:39 The UN Security Council is due to consider a new resolution on Syria, which demands that the country’s authorities step down. Russia however has stated that the draft offered by the West and the Arab League has no chance of being passed as it is. ­"The UN Security Council will meet in closed consultations this Friday 3:00 pm in New York to discuss steps to take on the situation in Syria," France's UN mission Twitter page informed. The draft resolution was reportedly proposed by France and supported by the United States, the UK, Portugal, Germany and the Arab countries. It comes as an alternative to the draft earlier proposed by Russia, which pushes for peaceful resolution of the conflict. According to the Itar-Tass news agency, the new draft will demand that the Syrian regime stop all violence in Syria, withdraw armed forces from inhabited areas and allow peaceful rallies.

The Best Address Book App for Android I desperately want a contacts app that re-thinks the notion of contacts. Every contact medium out there is built on this old core concept of a physical address book, with line items under a contact field, sorted by name and last name, maybe company. Sure, they merge in social media, but it all goes back to this idea of a static record by name. The reality of how you manage your contacts is very different. Several contacts live at one address, share a phone number, even possibly share email addresses. Your interest in contacts, likewise, is not alphabetical. There's just so much opportunity in this space, and yet just about every app I see falls back to the paper address book model.

In Kabul, Afghan police sympathize with protesters angry over Koran burning “Afghans and the world’s Muslims should rise against the foreigners. We have no patience left,” said one police officer in central Kabul, who has worked at the same checkpoint since he joined the force seven months ago. He looked at his colleague, who stood next to him, nodding. Police officers interviewed at four posts in the Afghan capital voiced the anti-American sentiments on Thursday, the same day that two U.S. troops in eastern Afghanistan were fatally shot by a man wearing an Afghan army uniform. In the wake of the Koran burning that came to light Tuesday at the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan, some uniformed Afghan officers have worked tirelessly to keep the peace through three days of demonstrations and riots. At least three protesters were killed Thursday, bringing the week’s death toll to 10, as some police officers were ordered to fire on demonstrators. U.S. apologies dismissed With tensions still high, however, the U.S. Anger within Bagram base
